Trusted partner to design teams, building owners and managers.
Structural and Building Envelope engineering may seem like an odd combination. However, 30 years ago as structural engineers, we recognized the direct relationship between water intrusion and structural and building envelope deterioration.
Today, in addition to engineering and accessing structures, our licensed engineers are also certified building envelope consultants.
As such, we have acquired an innovative arsenal of expertise, tools, non-destructive instruments, and minimally invasive techniques to diagnose both structural and building envelope issues.
Innovative Engineering Inc's Structural Engineers are registered in over 40 States/Territories.
