Having an experienced structural engineering team on your side when restoring or upgrading existing buildings is key.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of structural engineering when starting a project that involves an existing structure. Whether you’re extending, repurposing, or remodeling an existing building, the safety, compliance, and overall project success depend on the experience of a seasoned structural engineering team. In the area surrounding Cape Coral, Florida, our team at W.J. Johnson & Associates can provide you with the services you need.
Existing structures have unique challenges and intricacies. In contrast to newly constructed buildings, they frequently have unreported alterations, worn-out materials, and other concealed problems. Our skilled structural engineering team can recognize these problems and effectively resolve them. We start by conducting in-depth evaluations to understand the state of the structure today and foresee future issues, providing a strong foundation for any restoration or preservation project.
When working with existing buildings, it’s also important to understand that building standards and requirements have likely changed dramatically since the building was first constructed. This means your existing structure might not adhere to modern structural and safety standards. The good news is that our team can create plans to update your building to meet modern requirements while maintaining the integrity and aesthetic appeal of the structure.
Another consideration when working with older buildings is understanding their distinctive designs and architecture. With 40 years of experience in the structural engineering industry, we possess the know-how to create customized solutions that tackle these difficulties. This allows us to handle various issues with ease and creativity, whether it’s strengthening deteriorating foundations or adding contemporary amenities without compromising the building’s charm.
