Better buildings begin with better conversations — right from the start.
The most costly structural problems on construction projects are almost always ones that could have been identified — and resolved — much earlier in the design process. When structural engineers are brought in only at the documentation stage, the opportunity to influence the design for the better has largely passed.
QED Consulting Engineers actively encourages early engagement. We work as a collaborative partner with architects, building designers, and project teams from concept and schematic design through to detailed design, documentation, and construction — providing the kind of timely, practical structural input that leads to better buildings and fewer surprises at the back end of a project.
Early structural advice on span options, structural system selection, and key structural elements — helping designers make informed decisions that don't create downstream problems.
Structural sizing of primary and secondary elements, preliminary slab and footing design, and identification of any challenging structural interfaces before they become fixed in the drawings.
Full structural design and documentation, coordinated with architectural, civil, mechanical, and electrical packages — produced efficiently because the structural system is already well understood and agreed.
RFI response, shop drawing review, site inspection as required, and practical advice when on-site conditions differ from the documented design.
QED uses industry-current structural design and analysis software — including Finite Element Analysis tools — to support the design development process. Our team is comfortable working with BIM models, AutoCAD, and other design environments to ensure our structural documentation integrates cleanly with the broader project.
