Structural Engineering Services
Strength by Design. Innovation by Nature.
Every building tells a story, but it is the structural engineering beneath the surface that determines whether that story stands the test of time. Structural systems are the bones of every project, the invisible framework that carries loads, resists forces, and keeps occupants safe through decades of use, seismic events, and the relentless demands of the built environment. At Breen Design Group, our Structural Engineering team approaches every project with the technical rigor, creative problem-solving, and collaborative spirit that complex structures demand.

A Track Record Built on Innovation and Savings

Breen Design Group's Structural Engineering Department was established in 2007 and has since built an impressive portfolio of work across some of the most challenging and rewarding project types in the industry. Our structural engineers have performed extensive work on multi-family housing, K–12 educational facilities, healthcare buildings, Federal projects, and historic renovation and preservation work, each requiring a distinct set of engineering solutions tailored to the unique demands of the structure, the site, and the client's goals.
One of the hallmarks of our structural practice is our ability to deliver innovative design solutions that reduce cost without compromising performance. Time and again, our engineers have found smarter approaches to complex structural challenges, approaches that have saved clients substantial sums while maintaining the highest standards of safety, code compliance, and long-term durability. In an industry where structural costs can make or break a project budget, that kind of engineering creativity is a genuine and measurable advantage.

Seamlessly Integrated with Every Discipline

At Breen Design Group, our structural engineers do not work in isolation. In addition to leading their own independent projects, our structural team provides essential design coordination and consultation support to our architectural, MEP, and civil designers whenever multi-disciplinary services are required. This integrated approach eliminates the communication gaps and coordination conflicts that often arise when structural engineering is handled by an outside consultant, resulting in cleaner construction documents, fewer RFIs, and a smoother construction process from start to finish.

Expertise in Seismic Design and Existing Building Evaluation

California's seismic environment demands a level of structural engineering expertise that goes well beyond the basics. Our team is highly experienced in seismic evaluation and retrofit design for existing buildings, a critical service for property owners, developers, and public agencies managing aging infrastructure or navigating the requirements of California's evolving seismic safety regulations. We conduct thorough seismic risk assessments and property condition reports that give clients the information they need to make confident, well-informed decisions about their buildings and investments.
From equipment supports and seismic anchorage to structural peer review and plan check services, our team provides the full range of structural engineering expertise that modern projects require.

​Our Structural Engineering Services Include:

  • Structural Design of New Buildings
  • Structural Design of Non-Building Structures
  • Structural Alterations, Modifications, Renovations & Repairs
  • Seismic Evaluations and Retrofits of Existing Buildings
  • Equipment Supports and Seismic Anchorage
  • Structural Peer Review and Plan Check Review
  • Seismic Risk Assessment
  • Property Condition Reports
We were very pleased with BREEN Engineering. They have been very knowledgeable and helpful in obtaining a value engineered design. Overall I have been very pleased with how this contract has been run. I have no doubt that the end product will be of very high quality and will save the Government a lot of money when it comes to construction.”
