New Construction Structural Design Services in Atlanta

Strut E&I provides comprehensive structural design services for new ground-up construction throughout Metro Atlanta and Georgia. Whether you're developing a high-rise office tower in Midtown, a single-family residence in Sandy Springs, a multi-family apartment community in Decatur, or an industrial warehouse in South Fulton, our licensed Professional Engineers deliver code-compliant structural designs optimized for constructability and cost efficiency.

We work directly with architects, developers, general contractors, and property owners from concept through construction, ensuring seamless coordination and timely project delivery. Every set of structural drawings and calculations bears the seal of a Georgia-licensed Professional Engineer, reflecting thorough analysis and professional accountability.

Atlanta's construction market continues to expand with commercial development in Buckhead and Midtown, residential growth in North Fulton and Gwinnett counties, industrial expansion along major interstate corridors, and mixed-use projects transforming neighborhoods across the metro area. Our structural engineers bring the experience and capabilities to support projects of all types and scales.

From initial concept evaluation through construction administration, we provide structural engineering services that keep your project on schedule and within budget. Our designs balance structural efficiency with practical constructability, minimizing material costs while ensuring safety and code compliance.

Atlanta's commercial real estate market demands structural designs that maximize leasable space while meeting increasingly stringent energy and sustainability requirements. We design structural systems for office buildings, medical facilities, retail centers, hotels, and mixed-use developments ranging from low-rise suburban offices to high-rise towers. Our commercial designs accommodate complex MEP systems, future tenant improvements, and the lateral force requirements of Georgia's wind and seismic zones.

From custom homes in Buckhead estates to production housing in master-planned communities, we provide structural engineering for residential projects throughout Metro Atlanta. Our residential services include foundation design accounting for Georgia's expansive clay soils, wood and cold-formed steel framing design, engineered roof truss specifications, and specialized solutions for challenging sites including steep slopes and poor soil conditions common in North Georgia.

Atlanta's apartment boom continues to reshape neighborhoods from Midtown to the suburbs. We design efficient structural systems for garden-style apartments, mid-rise podium buildings, and high-rise residential towers. Our multi-family experience includes wood-frame construction over concrete podiums, cold-formed steel framing, post-tensioned concrete flat plate systems, and hybrid structural systems that optimize cost and construction schedule.

Metro Atlanta's logistics and distribution sector drives demand for large-footprint industrial buildings along I-85, I-20, and I-75 corridors. We design structural systems for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and flex industrial buildings. Our industrial designs address clear span requirements, heavy floor loads, overhead crane systems, and the foundation challenges of previously undeveloped sites.

Georgia has adopted the International Building Code (IBC) with state amendments, and individual jurisdictions throughout Metro Atlanta may impose additional requirements. Our engineers maintain current knowledge of applicable codes and work regularly with building departments in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County, Cobb County, Gwinnett County, and surrounding jurisdictions.

We design structures to meet all applicable load requirements per ASCE 7, including gravity loads, wind loads (Atlanta falls within a 115 mph basic wind speed zone), seismic loads (Seismic Design Category B or C depending on soil conditions and building type), and any special loads specific to your project's use and occupancy.
