Structural Engineering for New Construction

The structural engineers at LBSE are recognized nationally as creative structural engineers. We enjoy unique and challenging new construction projects that allow us to be creative with our structural design to achieve the project’s goals. With the majority of our structural design projects located in Southern California, Lawson-Burke is well-versed in the area’s many challenges including earthquakes, fire hazards, hillside construction, and various soil conditions. We have extensive structural design experience with all of these unique situations. The primary goal is to always create a structural design that meets the client’s and architect’s vision.

For many years, architects, building owners, and property developers have consistently turned to Lawson-Burke for structural expert services they can rely on when executing their structural designs. From tackling the structural engineering challenges related the historic renovation of a 1920’s church to constructing an infinity edge pool on a hillside, LBSE has successfully completed them all. Remodeling, Addition and Historical Rehabilitation projects remain an important part of the Lawson-Burke portfolio.

Owners, contractors, and real estate professionals in Orange County who have concerns regarding structural aspects of their buildings or grounds turn to Lawson-Burke as structural assessment consultants. LBSE’s extensive experience in the structural assessment and structural evaluation of both new and existing structures results in a report that provides insights into the client’s project. Each structural assessment report covers the problems found and structural engineering resolution recommendations.

Manufacturers of mechanical and electrical equipment throughout the USA turn to Lawson-Burke to provide structural assessments and seismic design calculations for equipment support frame skids, large electrical panel housings and equipment anchorage. These products are used in the USA and overseas markets for various industries including pharmaceutical and biotechnology. The structural analysis and structural design is always approached emphasizing optimum constructability and cost—without sacrificing safety.

A small and yet powerful part of the LBSE portfolio, litigation services are necessary when different parties are unable to reach agreement on a project. When this occurs, Lawson Burke provides a review of relevant documents and an onsite evaluation of the as-constructed project, if necessary. Only taking on projects we believe in, LBSE represents the plaintiff or defendant through investigation and court representation.
