Houston · Texas PE · Firm F-22894

Houston civil engineering that holds up in the field.

Construction engineering, utility coordination, traffic control plans, TDI windstorm inspections, foundation letters, solar PE stamps, and sign and seal review — from a Texas PE with 10+ years on Houston highways, toll roads, and city projects.

Houston-area elevated highway construction

Core services

Built around Texas PE practice: sealed documents, constructable details, and field-aware review.

Interchange construction

Construction engineering

Owner’s engineer support, constructability review, RFIs, inspection coordination, quantity checks, and pay-estimate review. The same work done on SH 99 / SH 249, Tomball Tollway, IH 45, Lorraine Underpass, and SH 36.

Hourly or weekly
Texas highway traffic control

Traffic control plans (TCPs)

Work-zone layouts for sites, utilities, and road work. City, county, and TxDOT-format sets. Informed by years of monitoring traffic control on HCTRA and TxDOT projects.

From $900
Coastal Texas house

Windstorm inspection

TDI-appointed inspector since 2021 with hundreds of residential structural assessments across Texas. Coastal WPI-8 / WPI-8E support: site inspection, sealed evaluation, and TDI filing coordination so the improvement can qualify for TWIA.

From $1,250
Engineer reviewing drawings

Review, sign and seal

Independent review of drawings and calculations, then a Texas PE seal when the work meets the standard. Digital seal standard. Wet ink when the city still wants paper.

From $650
Residential rooftop solar in Texas

Solar design and review

Rooftop and ground-mount structural letters, attachment review, and sealed permit sets for installers and owners. High-wind and coastal conditions priced separately.

From $395
Structural steel frame

Structural design

Foundations, framing, metal buildings, additions, and load-path design. Calculations, details, and permit drawings. Background in load takeoff, reinforcement, and field verification — not desk-only design.

From $2,800

Also available

Added from actual project work — utilities, quantities, and field quality — not a generic PE menu.

Utility coordination

Conflict review, relocation coordination, records research, and SUE support for roadway and site projects.

Shop drawing review

Contractor submittals checked against the sealed design before they get built wrong.

Quantity takeoff

Pavement, concrete, and earthwork quantities for bids, change orders, and monthly estimates.

Foundation letters

Sealed letters for slabs, piers, and small structures when the city or lender wants an engineer on file.

As-built / redline review

Field markups turned into a clean record set, or a review that the built work matches the permit drawings.

Change-order review

Scope, quantity, and entitlement review before you sign extra money on a highway or site job.
