Structural Design & Consulting Services

Structural engineering expertise from concept through construction.

Engineering Expertise Across Every Stage of Your Project

Engineering

Prema provides structural design and consulting services that support owners, contractors, architects, manufacturers, and project teams through every stage of a project. From existing building repairs and retrofit projects to specialty structural engineering for new construction, we deliver practical, permit-ready engineering solutions that help projects move forward with confidence.

Whether a project begins with a building assessment, forensic investigation, owner planning initiative, or new construction opportunity, our engineers provide practical design, permitting, and construction support tailored to each project's specific needs.

The Role of Structural Design & Consulting

Remediation challenges are rarely driven by execution alone. They are typically caused by gaps between investigation, scope definition and design.

Common challenges include:

Prema Consulting Group  Inaccurate bid scopes leading to gaps, rework and margin loss.

Prema Consulting Group  Permit delays caused by incomplete or unclear documentation

Prema Consulting Group  Change orders driven by an undefined repair scope

Prema Consulting Group  Execution inefficiencies due to a lack of constructible clarity

Without clear engineering direction, these issues compound,
affecting timelines, costs, and overall project outcomes.

How Prema Helps:

Prema provides design and consulting support that translates engineering assessments, project requirements, and technical objectives into clear, constructible, and permit-ready engineering deliverables for remediation projects. We bridge the gap between investigation and execution, helping remediation projects move forward with a defined scope, stronger bids, and more efficient approvals.

For contractors and project teams, we support:
  • Bid and proposal development, with engineering input to strengthen scope accuracy
  • Permitting and compliance, through complete and code-aligned documentation
  • Complex structural repair scenarios, requiring engineered design solutions
  • Construction-phase support, including technical clarification and coordination
For owners and stakeholders, we provide:
  • Engineered repair scope development to support competitive bidding
  • Contractor proposal evaluation for alignment with engineering intent
  • Independent engineering oversight during construction
  • QA/QC and compliance review to verify execution meets design requirements

The same disciplined engineering approach supports Prema's Building Assessment, Forensic Engineering, and Structural Design & Consulting practices, providing clients with continuity from investigation through design and implementation.

A Step-by-Step Approach to Simplify Remediation

From Investigation to Implementation

Assessment / Investigation

Site evaluation to identify damage extent and likely failure mechanisms.

Scope Translation

Findings converted into a defined, measurable repair scope.

Design Development

Preparation of calculations, drawings, and system-level.

Permitting and Compliance

Alignment with applicable codes and regulatory requirements.

Implementation Support

Engineering input during construction to support design intent.

What Makes Prema Stand Out

Prema’s approach is built on a structured progression from investigation through design and implementation support. By integrating forensic insight with practical engineering design, we help reduce uncertainty and improve project outcomes across remediation projects.

Key differentiators include:
Thumb

Investigation-driven foundation, grounding repair design in verified site conditions rather than assumptions. Licensed Engineer of Record (EOR) capabilities, supporting accountability and code compliance.

Thumb

Structured coordination model across contractors, owners, and partners. Constructible, implementation-ready deliverables that reduce scope gaps, rework, and project delays.

Thumb

Focused expertise in structural systems and building envelopes, where remediation challenges are most critical.

Prema in Action

Prema’s licensed engineers have supported thousands of forensic investigations and carry extensive experience in translating site findings into engineered repair design and Engineer of Record (EOR) deliverables across diverse structural and building envelope projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our structural design and consulting services support both existing buildings and new construction projects. Our experience includes structural repair and remediation design, retrofit and modification projects, building additions, Engineer of Record (EOR) services, and specialty structural engineering for structural steel and precast/prestressed concrete systems. We tailor our engineering approach to each project's scope, delivery method, and technical requirements.

Yes. Prema can serve as a licensed Engineer of Record (EOR), providing design accountability and ensuring that repair documentation aligns with applicable codes and regulatory requirements.

Our forensic services focus on site investigation and damage assessment. Our Design Consulting Services extend that work by translating findings into engineered, permit-ready repair designs, including scope definition, structural detailing, and code-compliant documentation to support execution.

Yes. In addition to supporting remediation contractors, Prema provides advisory services to property owners, HOAs, asset managers, and institutional stakeholders, including repair scope development, bid evaluation, and construction-phase engineering support.

Permitting delays are usually caused by incomplete documentation, code compliance issues, or an unclear scope. Prema addresses these risks by developing clear, code-aligned design documentation early in the process, helping support a more efficient permitting review.

Yes, we coordinate with trusted partners and provide integrated MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) design support to deliver integrated, project-specific solutions.
