Structural Engineering

  • Are you a homebuyer looking for a second set of eyes on your dream home design?

  • Are you a builder, architect, or home designer looking for structural design tailored to your customer’s needs?

  • Simply looking for a structural consultant?

These are all great reasons to give us a call!

Many structural firms simply design based on the layout they are given and rarely optimize. When you work with 26-Six, you get more than just structural plans; you get an optimized design that strengthens your bottom line.

This photo was taken during an inspection of a post-tensioned foundation form-up designed for a volume build.

In this example, the spacing of the steel tendons and beams (trenches) were the driving factors in optimizing cost while maintaining performance given the soil conditions on site and the proposed residence to be supported.

Residential Design Experience

Structural Engineering has been the perfect field to diversify our expertise while also incorporating the mindset and experience of a cost engineer. Our project portfolio includes retaining walls, concrete tilt-up walls, shopping centers, and warehouses, but our forte is residential construction.

We focus on customizing our structural designs for clients to give them what they are looking for—whether that’s peace of mind for structural performance, cost optimization, flexibility during construction, or complex architectural features.

When designing a home, we use actual forensic evidence gathered by the State of Texas during some of the worst tornados and hurricanes that many of our friends and families have lived through. Our structural recommendations—above local code minimums—are designed to perform even under extreme weather events.

Our designs also include options for cosmetic improvements. For a builder, this means a smoother homebuying experience for your customers and no need for plan revisions later on if the buyers change their minds.
