Soil in Texas is notorious for its clay content, a substance that, like a sponge, can shrink and swell - movement that can spell disaster for structures supported on it. Our team at Falkofske Engineering, Inc. possesses years of structural engineering experience and is adept at designing foundations for residential and commercial buildings in the clayey Texas soils.
Many building departments have expanded their requirements for permitting to include shear wall and full framing designs in the DFW metroplex. The structural engineers at Falkofske have over 30 years’ experience in framing design. Designs will be done in accordance with local building code requirements and standard engineering practices.
