Capabilities

Engineering Design for Buildings

Service website

Bartel Engineering develops structural engineering plans for new construction, additions, renovations, and mixed-use developments across residential, commercial, and industrial project types.

  • Residential Structural Design

    Structural engineering plans for custom homes, additions, remodels, garages, and multi-family properties, covering foundation stability, framing systems, and code compliance.

  • Commercial Building Engineering

    Structural design for offices, retail buildings, mixed-use developments, warehouses, and business facilities addressing occupancy demands and load requirements.

  • Industrial Structural Engineering

    Structural systems for industrial buildings handling specialized equipment loads, large-span framing, vibration concerns, and demanding operational conditions.

  • Structural Design for Renovations

    Engineering plans supporting wall removals, additions, structural reinforcements, and layout changes while maintaining stability and code compliance in existing structures.

  • Foundation and Framing Plans

    Detailed engineering for footing layouts, slab systems, load-bearing elements, framing connections, and structural supports.

  • Engineered Wood System Design

    Engineering support for LVL beams, wood trusses, I-joists, and related components including load calculations and connection detailing.

Building Construction

Service website

Bartel Engineering provides structural oversight throughout construction phases, including framing design, foundation engineering, construction coordination, and renovation planning for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

  • Structural Framing Design

    Framing analysis for walls, floors, roofs, and load-bearing assemblies to improve load distribution and support efficient construction coordination.

  • Foundation Engineering Support

    Foundation planning evaluating site conditions, building loads, drainage considerations, and long-term stability requirements.

  • Construction Phase Coordination

    Ongoing structural oversight during active construction to identify concerns, improve communication, and support organized implementation.

  • Structural Renovation Planning

    Engineering analysis for load-bearing capacities, framing limitations, and reinforcement requirements to support safe modifications and additions.

Structural Condition Surveys

Service website

Bartel Engineering conducts on-site structural assessments of existing buildings, evaluating foundations, framing, load-bearing elements, and visible deterioration, and delivering written reports with findings and recommendations.

  • Foundation Movement Assessments

    Evaluation of settlement patterns, wall cracking, floor displacement, drainage concerns, and soil-related movement affecting structural stability.

  • Commercial Building Structural Evaluations

    Survey of framing systems, roof supports, steel assemblies, masonry walls, and loading conditions for property acquisitions, maintenance planning, and code reviews.

  • Residential Structural Inspections

    Evaluation of foundations, floor systems, crawlspaces, roof framing, retaining walls, and moisture-related deterioration for homeowners.

  • Post-Damage Structural Assessments

    Evaluation of visible damage following storms, water intrusion, vehicle impacts, or structural incidents, with documentation supporting restoration planning and insurance processes.

  • Industrial Facility Structural Reviews

    Assessment of structural systems exposed to heavy operational loads, vibration, moisture, and equipment stress, supporting preventative maintenance and facility upgrades.

  • Pre-Renovation Structural Surveys

    Evaluation of framing capacity, load paths, existing deterioration, and modification feasibility before remodeling or expansion projects begin.

Engineered Wood Components

Service website

Bartel Engineering designs engineered wood framing systems for residential, commercial, and industrial construction, providing load analysis, connection detailing, and construction coordination for roof trusses, floor systems, laminated beams, and custom framing layouts.

  • Roof Truss Engineering

    Truss calculations for structurally efficient roofing systems handling span requirements, snow loads, ventilation layouts, and architectural roof designs.

  • Floor System Engineering

    Engineered floor framing for improved load support, reduced floor movement, larger spans, and open interior layouts.

  • Laminated Beam Design

    Engineered beam systems for enhanced strength, dimensional stability, and long-span performance in residential and commercial applications.

  • Structural Framing Analysis

    Evaluation of load paths, support conditions, framing performance, and material requirements within engineered wood systems.

  • Renovation Framing Support

    Integration of engineered wood components into structural upgrades, additions, and remodeling projects requiring improved load capacity or modified layouts.

  • Custom Component Engineering

    Tailored engineered wood component design for complex layouts, unusual spans, unique architectural features, or nonstandard framing conditions.
