Structural, civil, Title 24 energy, soils reports — we coordinate every engineering consultant your project requires and ensure their work integrates seamlessly with your architectural plans.
Schedule Your Free Site Visit →Most projects need more than architectural plans. Structural engineering, civil engineering, soils reports, energy calculations, and sometimes geotechnical or environmental studies. Each discipline has its own consultant, its own timeline, and its own deliverables.
Coordinating between multiple engineers — ensuring their work aligns with your architectural plans and meets the jurisdiction's specific requirements — is a project management challenge most property owners aren't equipped for. Misalignment between disciplines creates plan check corrections that delay your permit by weeks or months.
Foundation design, framing calculations, lateral force analysis, and structural details — coordinated with your architectural plans from the start.
Site grading plans, drainage design, utility connections, and driveway/access design for projects that alter the site topography.
California energy code calculations — prescriptive or performance path — ensuring your project meets current energy standards.
Soils investigation and geotechnical engineering for properties with challenging soil conditions, slopes, or foundation requirements.
Boundary surveys, topographic surveys, and ALTA surveys — we engage surveyors and ensure their work feeds accurately into your project plans.
SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans) and drainage calculations for projects that trigger stormwater requirements.
We identify which engineering disciplines your project requires based on the scope, site conditions, and jurisdictional requirements.
We engage trusted, licensed engineers from our established network — consultants we've worked with and know deliver quality work on time.
We manage the integration between architectural and engineering documents — ensuring consistency, resolving conflicts, and maintaining the project timeline.
A complete, coordinated plan set with all engineering deliverables — ready for submittal as a single, integrated package.
A whole home remodel in the hillside district requiring complex soils engineering solutions due to restrictive geotechnical conditions, combined with hillside design regulations that constrained the building envelope.
SBP coordinated between the geotechnical engineer, structural engineer, and architect to develop solutions that satisfied both the soils conditions and the building code — expanding our client's views and home value while meeting every regulatory requirement.
No. SBP handles all engineering coordination. We engage the right engineers from our network, manage their scope and timeline, and ensure their work integrates with your architectural plans. You deal with us — we deal with the engineers.
Title 24 is California's energy code. Almost every building permit in California requires Title 24 energy compliance calculations. These demonstrate that your project meets the state's energy efficiency standards for insulation, windows, HVAC, lighting, and solar readiness.
Soils reports are typically required for new construction, additions on hillside properties, projects in areas with known soil issues (expansive clay, fill soils, high water table), and when the building department or geotechnical conditions warrant investigation. We'll advise whether your project needs one during our initial assessment.
One call to us. We handle the rest — every discipline, every deliverable, every deadline.
