Statement of Qualifications
Why clients put their projects in our hands.
A summary of KSF Structural’s services, methodology, and the standards we hold ourselves to on every project — from feasibility studies to stamped construction documents.
How we work
Engineering, project management, and construction — under one roof.
KSF Structural offers engineering, project management, technical, and construction-related services that cover every facet of a project from conceptual planning and feasibility studies to design and construction management. The diverse technical background of our staff lets us deliver a broad range of services and capabilities without farming the work out.
Full-Service Capabilities
KSF Structural has built its business on a dedicated, highly competent team of licensed engineers — trained by our founder — who manage and engineer every aspect of a civil or structural engineering project — from planning and design to construction. With our capabilities in civil and structural design and analysis, we produce a full-service team that develops construction documents and follows through with permitting and construction administration.
Proven Record of Performance
KSF Structural has earned a reputation for completing projects that exceed our clients’ expectations and standards of quality, while meeting even the most demanding schedules. We establish and maintain working relationships with project participants, stakeholders, and city and county building departments to minimize delays and roadblocks in the permitting process.
Best Overall Value and Pricing
We believe KSF Structural provides the best combination of value, price, technical quality, and service. Our staff is committed to providing value-added engineering in every aspect of their work, and they take pride in what they do and what they deliver.
Direct Engineer Accountability
Every report KSF Structural delivers is reviewed and stamped by a licensed KSF engineer. Our team visits your site, our licensed engineers sign the plans, and we take the field calls and answer the city’s questions. No project-manager middle layer between you and the licensed accountability.
