Colorado Springs & Trinidad, Colorado

Ninety percont of our work is within the Corazon de Trinidad National Historic District in Trinidad Colorado. We specialize in historic buildings because they represent an era of fine classical design, excellent craftsmanship, and traditional values. We apply these values to both our engineering work and our business practices.

We provide building inspections and reports for owners and prospective buyers and their lenders.

For owners who are rehabilitating their buildings we provide consulting engineering services, analysis and solutions to complex problems, and design for rehabilitation projects.
