Residential & Commercial Buildings

Some of our specialties in Sway Engineering are: structural design of all different types of custom homes; remodeling of existing buildings; and room addition to single family homes. Most of our projects were in Orange County and Los Angeles County.

Our goal is to ensure all the client's needs are met and are within the budget.

Structural integrity and stability of buildings against natural forces such as earthquake and wind is our main concern. For this purpose, we apply different types of lateral resisting systems including: Wood Shear Panels, Moment Frames, Hardy Frames, Hardy Moment Frames, Concrete Shear Walls, and bracing.

The challenge regarding design of remodeling or room addition can include: revising the roofing systems, dealing with existing situations, such as raised floor, California framing, removing shear walls and providing new lateral resistance system.
