About
APE Structural Engineering is a California based licensed structural engineering firm
Our main priority is your building’s safety, project budget, and timeline.
With over a decade of experience in the building industry working on a wide variety of building types, we believe that utilizing BIM 3D modeling is the best way to ensure that the best design is also the most economical one. We are dedicated to optimizing structural efficiency.
Our #1 goal is to provide you with a fully integrated design that is:
Structurally sound and up to current building codes
Cost efficient in terms of labor and construction materials
Completed in a timely manner
Services
-
We create a full structural drawing set based on the floorplans, along with a supporting structural calculation package for you to submit to the city for building permit approval. Each drawing set comes with structural framing and foundation plans, as well as comprehensive construction details that are easy to read and up to current California building codes.

Some projects will require additional engineering for larger pieces of equipment. Whether it's an HVAC unit, a water heater, or even an electrical panel, we are here to help. If needed, we can provide retrofit and reinforcement design for existing structural members to be able to support new anchorage loads. We can provide a quick, economical design that is fully coordinated with the building design, layout and accessibility requirements. With the use of 3D modeling/BIM, we are able to avoid errors and conflicts in the construction, making it easier to come up with solutions in a timely manner and within budget
-
We know that each project is unique and so the degree of implementation of VDC and BIM also needs to be tailored to that particular project. This is based on a number of factors, including project specific risks, budget and schedule constraints, and client needs. By scaling the level of VDC and BIM for each individual project, we are able to maximize the added value that VDC and BIM provides and come up with the best design to fit your project needs. This is why we provide this service for all our projects.
