Structural Engineering
Building a new custom home enables you to design everything according to your preferences. However, besides appearance and comfort you also need to pay attention to loads, codes and regulations, and safety measures. The house will need electricity, water and sewage systems, HVAC, and air conditioning among other things. Jarone Construction has years of experience in these sectors, being proficient in codes and regulations and experts in structural and MEP design. For that reason, we can support you in every step of the design phase to ensure you get a permit, without losing any time or budget to design clashes.
Multifamily housing refers to a building that contains more than one dwelling unit, and they are continuously gaining popularity especially because of housing shortage; such buildings enable more homes in dense municipalities. A multifamily building can be built from the ground up, or a larger building can be remodeled into several homes. We are experienced with both and can assist you throughout the process to ensure all design codes are met, safety regulations are followed, and the designs are optimized to reduce costs.
Removing a wall may grant more open space, but not every wall can be easily removed: some of them are carrying a load and require special measures and calculations. We will help you identify those walls and provide plans that preserve the stability of the building.
Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to earthquakes or similar natural disasters. We perform a site inspection to determine the seismic retrofit needs and offer designs to enhance the structures, helping you to obtain a permit for your project.
While architecture defines the appearance of a building, structural engineering ensures the building stands up and can withstand heavy winds, earthquakes, or gravity loads. Structural calculations are the math behind this ability, and determine the properties of columns, joists, beams, slabs, trusses and other members that comprise a building. Our structural calculation follows local building codes, therefore not only ensures you can get a permit but also consider value engineering to cut down actual
Over the years, your housing requirements change. Home remodeling allows you to make better use of your space and adapt to those changing needs. For instance, the kitchen can be remodeled to make cooking or cleaning easier. Bathrooms may be remodeled to incorporate the latest designs. The bedroom can be changed to accommodate new furniture or lighting. Mezzanines can be added to make better use of the space. Each remodeling project is a custom challenge, and our engineers are experts at remodeling who can guide you to make the most efficient use of your space.
Working from home is a new trend. Many have seen the benefits it offers while others are drawn to it by necessity. Either way, having a dedicated place for work greatly improves concentration and work productivity. However, designing a home office needs lighting design, planning for a soundproof environment; rethink the color scheme of the room as well as paying attention to a storage location for your paperwork and stationery. Our engineers are experts in home office design and can help you through all stages until you receive the final permit.
The foundation transfers the load of the building to the ground and anchors against wind and earthquake. A strong foundation is crucial for a building to last long, therefore it must be protected from cracks, settling or sloping. Our structural design engineers offer professional plans to protect your foundation against such damages, and will calculate for wear and tear and imperfect soil conditions.
Some of our clients need help, deciding if a deck would be suitable for their outdoor space or a patio. Luckily, we are experts in both and can help you decide based on a number of factors including budget, location, purpose, size, materials and maintenance. Our engineers will help you with the design, starting with the foundation up to the frame and stairs. We help you choose the material that will last long without damaging the appearance of your deck or patio.
