residential Engineering Services

 We offer structural design for residential and commercial buildings, foundation design (slab-on-grade, pier-and-beam, retaining walls, etc.), framing design and verification for wood, steel, and concrete structures, load-bearing wall assessments and modification plans, and deck, patio cover, and addition design for permit approval. We also provide temporary shoring and structural safety support design. 

Our Engineering and Forensic Inspection services focus on evaluating, diagnosing, and ensuring the structural integrity and safety of buildings and infrastructure.

Engineering Inspection involves the assessment of structures, foundations, and framing systems to verify that construction practices comply with approved design drawings, engineering standards, and building codes. These inspections are often performed during or after construction to identify potential deficiencies and ensure the structure’s performance and durability.

Forensic Inspection is a specialized field of engineering that investigates the causes of structural distress, material failures, or performance issues. The goal is to determine why a problem occurred, how it developed, and what corrective actions are necessary for repair or mitigation.

Our forensic engineering services include:

• Foundation movement evaluation and elevation surveys
   
• Roof and framing failure analysis
   
• Retaining wall and swimming pool failure investigation
   
• Storm, flood, and wind damage assessment
   
• Expert witness and engineering reports for legal or insurance cases
   

Through a combination of detailed field inspections, measurements, and engineering analysis, we provide reliable findings and professional recommendations to help clients resolve complex structural and construction-related issues.

 We provide site grading and drainage design, paving, driveway, and utility layout, stormwater management and detention design, erosion control and site safety planning, and survey plan review and construction coordination. 

MEP Engineering is the integrated design and coordination of a building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems—the critical infrastructure that ensures comfort, safety, and functionality in any residential, commercial, or industrial structure.

As an engineering design company, we provide complete MEP design services, ensuring that all building systems are energy-efficient, code-compliant, and seamlessly coordinated with the architectural and structural design.

At Alamo Elite Engineers, our Architectural Design services combine functionality, aesthetics, and code compliance to create spaces that are both visually appealing and structurally sound. We work closely with clients, contractors, and city officials to ensure every design meets project goals, budget constraints, and regulatory requirements.

Our architectural design services include:

• Conceptual and schematic design: Developing practical layouts that maximize space, natural light, and usability.
   
• Construction drawings and permit sets: Preparing detailed, code-compliant plans ready for city approval and construction.
   
• Building code and zoning compliance: Ensuring all designs meet IBC, IRC, and local jurisdiction requirements.
   
• Renovation and addition design: Integrating new structures seamlessly with existing buildings.
   
• Exterior and interior design coordination: Aligning structural and MEP systems with architectural intent for efficiency and aesthetics.
   
• 3D visualization and drafting: Helping clients understand the project through accurate renderings and technical drawings.
   

Our goal is to deliver efficient, durable, and elegant designs that reflect each client’s vision while maintaining the highest standards of safety, constructability, and performance.
