ERA Structural Engineering provides full‑service structural engineering for a broad range of facility types. We think way beyond textbook structural engineering principles to anticipate unforeseen issues before they arise – which saves clients and owners money, time, and sometimes the viability of the entire project. We think beyond the beam to uncover value in all areas of the project, from structural systems and material types to multi‑team collaboration and process efficiency.

We use this creative problem‑solving approach at each step of the project, from proposal to ribbon cutting.

ERA is committed to equal opportunities and is a diversified workforce.
