Structural Engineering Across Texas, on a Written Protocol
You need a sealed letter from a licensed engineer, and most firms will tell you three weeks and call you back when they feel like it. Field work to a written protocol, reviewed and sealed by a licensed Texas Professional Engineer in responsible charge.

Our Services
Sealed deliverables prepared under the responsible charge of licensed Texas Professional Engineers. Every line ends in a document somebody relies on.
- CertificationRoof Inspections and CertificationsA sealed engineering opinion on the condition of a roof as it stood on the date it was inspected, issued after a documented field inspection to a written protocol.
- CoastalWindstorm WPI-8 CertificationsThe windstorm certificate of compliance required in the Texas coastal catastrophe area, inspected and submitted by an engineer appointed by the Texas Department of Insurance.
- CertificationFoundation Inspections and CertificationsA sealed engineering opinion on how a foundation is performing, supported by floor elevation measurement and a documented inspection of the structure, the drainage, and the site.
- Sealed letterSolar Structural LettersThe sealed structural review most Texas jurisdictions require before a rooftop solar permit is issued: framing capacity, attachment detail, and wind loading for the site.
- LendingManufactured Home Foundation CertificationsThe engineer's foundation certification required before an FHA, VA, or USDA loan will close on a manufactured home, measured against the HUD permanent foundations guide.
- PermittingStructural Letters for PermitsThe sealed letter a building department asks for when an alteration affects structure: wall removal, a new opening, a header or beam, or a change a plans examiner has questioned.
- Sealed letterRepair SpecificationsA sealed document that defines exactly what is repaired and how it is repaired, so every contractor bids the same scope and a building department can permit the work.
- DesignResidential and Light Commercial DesignSealed structural design for homes, additions, and light commercial buildings: foundation design for the soil on site, framing plans, and drawings a permit office can review.
The 254 Process
Every job runs through the same five steps, on every service line. The engineer writes the protocol before the line opens, and the job is judged against it rather than against how the afternoon went.
Step 1 of 3
Field work to a written protocol
Technicians across Texas work to the same documented inspection procedure, capture the same evidence in the same order, and are certified on that protocol before a first assignment.
Step 2 of 3
A licensed engineer in responsible charge
Every opinion, letter, certification, and drawing is reviewed and sealed by a Texas licensed Professional Engineer who takes responsible charge of it. That is a legal obligation attached to a person, and it is not delegable to a process or to a company.
Step 3 of 3
One review process, statewide
It also lets the firm hold specialist cover that no single metro could support on its own, including the coastal windstorm work where a Texas Department of Insurance appointment is what decides who may inspect.
Statewide Coverage
All 254 counties of Texas, one firm. Eight service regions cover the state, grouped on the lines that already organize permitting and emergency management.

Windstorm Certification on the Texas Coast
WPI-8 and WPI-8E certificates are required for windstorm insurance in the 14 first tier coastal counties of Texas, and the inspection behind one has to be performed by a licensed engineer. Coastal windstorm work is a core practice area the firm is being built around.
