Maximizing your project's structural strength while minimizing unnecessary construction costs.
Theoretical engineering often relies on the most obvious, heavy-duty solutions, but practical engineering looks for the smartest, most efficient path. When we value engineer a residential or light commercial project, we examine an existing design and make targeted recommendations to allow for less-expensive structural elements.

Structural elements like steel beams and moment frames are incredibly strong, but they also come with a very large price tag. By closely analyzing the plans, we often find that a subtle shift in wall layouts can allow us to use much less-expensive resistive methods.
We are passionate about utilizing the full structural capacity of SIP panels. Wherever possible, we leverage the inherent strength of SIP construction to reduce or completely eliminate the need for other redundant structural systems.
Value engineering is most effective when we are brought in early. By working closely with your architect and contractor during the initial planning phases, we ensure that cost-saving measures are smoothly integrated into the design long before materials are ordered or ground is broken.
Because building projects can span anywhere from a few months to several years, we treat value engineering as an ongoing process rather than a one-off task. We continuously collaborate with the contractor, architect, and client along the way to perfectly balance your desired architectural style with your construction budget.
This high level of ownership, responsibility, and professionalism is reflected in our work from the very first concept meeting to the final day of construction. We go beyond the blueprints to ensure your project has the dedicated care and engagement it needs to succeed in the real world.
We are constantly expanding our licensing reach. Gwen Bertolami holds civil engineering licenses in the following states:
