 Design
Structural design is the core of our business and the expertise that drives all of our efforts. We pride ourselves in our ability to produce practical and economical designs to suit the specific needs of each client and project.
Value Engineering
Our clients appreciate our extensive experience with a wide range of structural systems and applications. When we are asked to provide a “fresh look” to projects with budgetary issues, we can suggest and quickly explore more economical options and assist Contractors and Owners in evaluating alternatives to get their projects back on track.
 Building Component Design
An exciting and expanding sector of our practice is the design of building components directly for Sub-Contractors. Components include miscellaneous metals, structural steel, concrete, post-tensioned concrete, pre-cast concrete wall panels and light gage steel framing. Our knowledge with these materials is factored into constructability aspects and detailing for all of our projects.
Quality Control
MacIntosh Engineering uses our "Four Quarter System" to monitor project assurance/quality control. This system of checks and balances at each step of the design and construction process ensures the highest quality finished product.
- During the Project Kick-Off phase, a kick-off guide and a design criteria sheet are completed to establish the project scope, design parameters and code requirements.
- During the design phase of the project, structural drawings checklists are used to ensure completeness of the documents.
- Prior to the bid/construction document issue, all drawings are independently reviewed again for accuracy, completeness and constructability by senior staff.
