We laterally brace soft-story buildings by installing moment frames, cantilever columns, and shear walls. Every element is built specifically for each application. Moment frame, Cantilever Column, and Shear Wall installation is the most effective way to strengthen your structure to withstand lateral force.
We are experts at installing moment frames, cantilevered columns, and shear walls. These three solutions are the primary techniques used to seismically retrofit your soft-story building.
We repair cracked foundations. And if your building is settling to the point where your floor is no longer level, we can fix that too.
Our team are experts in foundation bolting and bracing. We can help you apply for seismic retrofit grants from the California Earthquake Brace & Bolt program.
Our trained professionals will work with various cities to develop a custom tenant habitability plan/means & method plan tailored to your specific situation. We take care of everything from A to Z to ensure you can recoup portions of the seismic retrofit project costs from your tenants, when applicable.
