Hillside and bench construction
Draper and east Sandy climb into the foothills. Slope, retaining, and foundation-on-grade questions come with the territory.
Service area
Structural engineer in Sandy & Draper
The south end of the valley combines large newer homes on the bench with steep lots against the mountains. The work skews toward additions, outdoor structures, retaining, and the structural questions that come with building up against a hillside.

Local conditions
What we see most in the south valley
Retaining walls and terraced yards
Steep lots mean tiered walls, surcharge from driveways and structures above, and drainage detailing that determines whether the wall lasts.
Large decks and outdoor living structures
Tall decks, covered patios, and hot tubs on elevated decks are common, and all of them are connection-critical.
Additions to larger newer homes
Newer large homes being expanded — where the original engineering was sized for the original footprint.
