Delivery process

From Inquiry to Permit Approval

How Structexa scopes, coordinates, and stamps multidisciplinary engineering packages.

01

Scope & jurisdiction

Confirm building type, occupancy, AHJ, and the PE stamps required before design begins.

02

Coordinated design

Structural, architectural, civil, MEP, and HVAC align under one project manager.

03

Permit documents

Calculations, details, and drawing sets prepared for plan check and construction.

04

Agency support

Respond to comments, issue revisions, and stay engaged through approval.

Markets we serve

  • Residential & multifamily

    Custom homes, hillside sites, and multifamily buildings with coordinated structural, architectural, site civil, MEP, and HVAC packages.

  • Commercial & hospitality

    Retail, offices, restaurants, and hospitality scoped for TI, new-construction permits, site development, MEP, and HVAC systems.

  • Municipal & public works

    Agency-facing civil engineering services and building docs prepared to public-works standards and checklists.

  • Industrial & institutional

    Light industrial, schools, and community facilities with clear load paths, site improvements, MEP, and HVAC coordination.

  • Mixed-use & TI

    Mixed-use and tenant-improvement scopes where architectural, structural, civil, MEP, and HVAC share one permit set.

How clients engage us

  • Design & CDs

    Full design through construction documents with coordinated sheets across disciplines.

  • PE stamp & review

    Licensed PE review, stamping, and certification where jurisdiction requires a seal.

  • Plan-check support

    Comment responses and revisions through agency approval — not just first submittal.

  • Feasibility studies

    Early due diligence on code path, structural system, and site constraints before full design.

All practices work under a single project manager with cross-discipline QC — structural, architectural, civil, MEP, and HVAC sheets issued as a coordinated permit set when jurisdictions require multi-discipline review.
