WE SEE
ABOVE &
BEYOND.
How do we create miles of smiles? Within every retail and commercial building is an imperceptible strength that underpins a powerful customer experience.
When Structural Engineers design retail experiences like a car dealership, they look at everything: from maximizing spans to creating column-free showroom space and lateral load tracking across different height spaces to signage anchorages and the facade support behind the showroom's floor-to-ceiling windows. Structural Engineers coordinate multiple structural materials for different locations.
Structural Engineers choose the right material for the job, specifying steel, concrete slab, masonry walls, cold-formed metal framing, and other materials for different functions within the building skeleton, coordinating between them to create a safe structure with economy in mind. Structural Engineering Excellence (SEE) makes retail a reality. So roll in the cars, SUVs, electric vehicles, and happy customers. Experiences are elevated because we SEE.
Structural Engineering Excellence for Retail & Commercial
Your experience at a car dealership is elevated through the work of Structural Engineers. They collaborate with architects to provide a safe building skeleton that supports everything from the office mezzanine to the floor-to-ceiling showroom windows making it easy to see the car inside and out.
Purchasing a car is emotional – especially for a growing family. The design and construction of car dealership showrooms have become sophisticated and deliver a beautiful, welcoming experience. Structural Engineers have the problem-solving power to provide Structural Engineering Excellence (SEE). Examples include multiple roofs with different elevations that require creative solutions to transfer load, curved exposed steel elements that do not increase fabrication costs or sloped columns that create lateral thrust forces.
