ABOUT CSW

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Freedom means having the ability to express framing solutions for a multitude of different structures. Our team at CSW has the knowledge and experience necessary to determine the natural relationships in a particular structure to determine the best quality and most economical framing. We will evaluate your structure and suggest the most ideal and cost effective way to improve economy. Once we have a fully developed concept, we suggest these ideas to your build team for consideration. Our approach is to break free of the confinements of the "This is how it's always been done" mindset, to develop new and innovative ways to fight for more economical structures.

Teamwork is our greatest asset. We believe everyone involved in a project is a valued member of our team. Whether it's contractors, developers, architects, or any other team members, CSW values their input, and will often make the necessary changes to best suit the project and the needs of the team.

Obviously, the ultimate decision with framing comes from our clients. Although we make recommendations, we will always do what is asked so long as it meets code. We engage with all parties involved with a project to ensure that our clients needs are being met. Our goal is to always insure we are doing what is in the best interest of our clients.

Drawings are the primary way we communicate our product. Our drawings are streamlined, well organized, easy to read and comprehend, with sections organized to describe the project at hand. We thrive on consistency to ensure that our multi-structure projects all have the same look and feel so there is no question that it all comes from the same "family".
