Specializing in Structural Engineering for Residential Properties

Structural engineering deals with the challenge of designing structures that enclose or span across space such Accessory Dweling Unit (ADU), custom home, office buildings, multifamily buildings, retaining walls, foundation underpinning, and much more. Structural engineers design some of the world-renowned landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge and One World Trade Center. The main role of the structural engineer is to design the “skeleton” (also known as structural frame) that will support these structures. The structures need to be safe, strong, stable, durable, and economical.

Structures must maintain their shape while they resist all sorts of loads in addition to their own weight, including wind, earthquake, snow, ocean waves, and temperature effects. At NTS, our structural engineers have developed good understanding of engineering mechanics and materials engineering. Knowledge of materials properties, such as their density, hardness, stiffness, and tensile-, compressive-, and shear-strengths, as well as their long-term performance, is very important. It is a first step in selecting the best combination of materials such as steel, concrete, timber, as well as new innovative materials to adequately and optimally design structural elements for various structures. Structural engineers need to be able to determine the structural behaviors under various stresses, such as compression, tension, shear, bending, and twisting, as well as under various environmental conditions, including ambient temperature, corrosive environment, and even blast and radiation.  

Our structural engineering team is typically part of an interdisciplinary team and might work closely with architects and other designers. We utilize some of the start-of-art software and programs to analyze various site data, compute load and load combinations, analyze structural components and select and design structural members to form the structures. NTS structural engineers are also proficient in understanding various codes to ensure that the project is being constructed according to design specifications.  

Our commercial and industrial structural engineering division has a earned a great reputation in providing an exceptional structural engineering services for design of commercial office buildings, restaurant and retail buildings, industrial structures, warehouse buildings, industrial coolers, silos, and much more. We can design different variety of structural components and structural subsystems depending on the project needs.

We provide sound and value structural engineering to various developers and architects. Our goal is to design structures that are economical and constructible that meet the planned function and aesthetic vision of each project.

NTS Structural Engineers has provided numerous structural design for residential single family homes and multifamily homes throughout Southern California, while working for private developers, architects or home owners. We specialize in providing structural plans for ADUs, home additions, custom homes, decks and patios, and interior and exterior renovation.

Retaining walls are utilized by many homeowners and civil engineers to shape the land for either expanding or adding space for a specific use. At times retaining walls are constructed in order to achieve a grade difference during a development. We have the capability to design retaining walls in Los Angeles and Orange County that meet the intended design. We have designed numerous concrete retaining walls, block retaining wall, and pile walls and we look forward to servicing you on your next project
