At Strut Engineering & Investment, Inc., we proudly serve clients across Greater Atlanta, GA, a diverse and fast-growing metro area known for its historic neighborhoods, modern infrastructure, and ongoing development. With deep experience in structural analysis, design, and inspections, our team provides tailored engineering support to property owners, contractors, and developers throughout the region.
We work in major hubs and suburbs alike, including:
Atlanta – The heart of the metro, Atlanta blends historic architecture with modern high-rises. Construction here often navigates complex code requirements and the unique challenges of older and infill properties.
Sandy Springs – One of Georgia’s largest cities, Sandy Springs features a mix of office parks, new developments, and established neighborhoods—each with its own structural considerations.
Roswell – Known for its well-preserved historic district and charming homes, Roswell projects often balance preservation with modernization, especially in renovation work.
Alpharetta – A rapidly growing suburb fueled by the tech industry, Alpharetta showcases a range of contemporary residential and commercial projects shaped by modern design preferences.
Marietta – With Civil War-era architecture and a revitalized town square, Marietta presents a blend of aging buildings and new developments, requiring thoughtful construction approaches across project types.
These are just a few of the many communities we serve. We also provide services in Johns Creek, Decatur, Smyrna, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Duluth, Suwanee, Lawrenceville, Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Tucker, Chamblee, College Park, East Point, Forest Park, Riverdale, Fayetteville, Union City, Fairburn, Douglasville, Villa Rica, Buford, Cumming, Sugar Hill, Woodstock, Kennesaw, and Acworth — each with their own structural considerations, local codes, and development goals.
Whether you're planning a residential build in Cumming, a tenant improvement in Dunwoody, or a structural inspection in Stone Mountain, our engineers are ready to support your project with professionalism, accuracy, and a deep understanding of Metro Atlanta’s unique needs.
In a region as diverse as Greater Atlanta, local structural engineering expertise plays a critical role in project success. From the soil composition in Marietta to zoning and permitting variations in Fulton, Gwinnett, and Cobb Counties, understanding the local landscape helps prevent costly delays and ensures every structure meets safety and code requirements. Our team brings hands-on knowledge of Metro Atlanta’s residential and commercial environments — including older homes in Decatur, hillside properties in Duluth, and fast-growing developments in Alpharetta. With firsthand experience navigating local challenges, we deliver solutions that are practical, efficient, and tailored to the communities we serve.
We’re committed to helping shape a safer and stronger future for Greater Atlanta — one project at a time. As the region continues to expand, we partner with homeowners, builders, and developers to provide reliable structural solutions that support long-term growth. Whether you're remodeling a mid-century home in Smyrna, starting new construction in Cumming, or reinforcing a commercial space in Brookhaven, we bring precision, professionalism, and local insight to every job. Let’s build the future of Greater Atlanta together with structures that stand the test of time.
Strut E&I provides the full range of structural engineering services in Greater Atlanta: structural design for new construction, rehabilitation and building modification, forensic engineering, expert witness and litigation support, property condition assessments, and solar PV structural engineering.
For homeowners, our two most requested residential services are second-story addition engineering and load-bearing wall removal — both of which require sealed drawings before a permit will be issued. Every project is assigned a dedicated licensed structural engineer.
For structural work — removing a load-bearing wall, adding a second story, modifying framing, or underpinning a foundation — Georgia jurisdictions generally require sealed drawings and calculations from a licensed engineer before a permit is issued. Georgia builds to the state minimum standard codes, which adopt the International Building Code and International Residential Code with Georgia amendments, and local plan review is handled by the county or city.
Much of metro Atlanta sits on red clay. Clay soils shrink when they dry and swell when they take on water, and that seasonal movement works against foundations year after year. The result is the settlement pattern we see constantly here: stair-step cracks in brick veneer, doors that stop latching, and sloping floors. The cause is almost always drainage and soil movement rather than the foundation itself being badly built.
Atlanta is our headquarters, so it is the market we cover fastest. Call (404) 480-5555 and we will tell you honestly when a licensed engineer can be on site.
Both. We serve commercial developers, municipalities, and attorneys, and we also work directly with homeowners on additions, wall removals, foundation assessments, and structural inspections.
