Building Design Services

Great design deserves to be appreciated. But if it’s not backed by structurally sound principles, it won’t be appreciated for very long. Thanks to our extensive experience in commercial and residential inspections, Stonewall’s structural engineering team creates building designs that will stand the test of time. We apply our engineering expertise and design aesthetic to every design and construction project we touch, ensuring form and function coexist beautifully. Stationed in Raleigh, we are willing to serve clients throughout NC and beyond. Whether you need construction plans for a multi-family building or a historic renovation that respects the heritage of your community, Stonewall has the experience and vision to deliver building plans on budget, on time, every time.

Our Design Fields

New Home Construction

Whether you are a custom home builder, residential designer, architect, or a serious DIYer, if you are involved in building a new house you will most likely need structural drawings from a licensed professional engineer. These drawings should show how the different levels of the structure are to be built — from the foundation up to the roof. Our team of structural engineers is highly experienced at designing with all material types including wood, steel, masonry, and even shipping containers. We support you and your contractor throughout the process to help keep your project on schedule and on budget.

Residential Remodels & Additions

All homes can use a little sprucing up from time to time and it’s important to have a well-planned set of structural drawings for your project. Whether it’s removing a load-bearing wall to create an open floor plan, adding on a sunroom, screened porch, or deck, finishing an attic, or even adding an entire second story to your existing home, our structural drawings ensure that your project is completed efficiently, safely, and according to the current Residential Building Code.

Commercial Building Design

Whether we’re working with architects, contractors, or developers, our goal is to provide efficient, cost-effective structural drawings that are value engineered and detailed for optimized construction with minimized labor and materials. We are always available to help facilitate any change orders or field questions that arise during commercial construction. Our teams of structural designers and inspectors can mobilize quickly if site visits are ever necessary, keeping our clients’ schedules and budgets on track.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are soil-retaining structures that can be designed in many different architectural styles, shapes, and sizes depending on site conditions like soil type, topography, and wall proximity to the property line. Our experienced structural engineers will work with you to determine which wall type is best for your project’s functionality and visual appeal, and then design a structural retaining wall system that meets your needs. We also perform field visits during construction to ensure proper installation of footings, blocks, and other wall components.
