For Your Dream Plans! "Whether you are adding a master suite, a second floor, or building an entire dream home, we can be your engineer. We start by evaluating your existing structure or site, and then discuss, advise, and recommending the next steps. We do all the design for your foundation and framing, and then complete construction drawings in AutoCAD. We then print, stamp, sign and deliver oversized bond paper drawings sets with electronic PDF copies." Commercial Clients - "Our commercial clients are as diverse as Houston itself - Harris County Education Department, Houston Food Bank, Wells Fargo Mortgage, Country Wide Equity, plus scores of small apartment owners, ... all have benefited from our prompt inspection and concise engineering reports." Operating from central Houston, our engineering has been applied to hundreds of small and large projects. Our range is from LaPorte/Baytown to to Katy/Brenham; from Conroe/Magnolia to Sugarland/Rosenberg; from Spring to Alvin; and from Galveston to Austin.

TexasEngineer enjoys explaining the engineering process in plain language to homeowners and executives alike. Experience in clay, sandy-loam, gumbo, and limestone shale allows foundation design coverage from Beaumont to Austin. TexasEngineer can provide solutions that allow the smallest project to proceed without high expenses.
