KEA Structural Engineers' framing plans are designed to make the construction process easier, ensuring your framer can build with both quality and efficiency.

We optimize our designs by:

• Minimizing beam quantity, beam sizes, and shear wall requirements to reduce material costs and simplify installation.
• Reducing load transfers to ceilings and floors, preventing unnecessary structural stress and ensuring long-term stability.
• Clearly marking the locations of all purlins and roof struts, providing a straightforward guide for accurate and efficient framing.

Will your home be built on a conventional slab, post-tensioned slab, pier & beam, drilled/helical piers, or wood piling foundation? We carefully review the soil report and recommend a practical, cost-effective foundation system that aligns with the risk mitigation guidelines in the geotechnical report.

For post-tensioned slabs, our plans include the precise location of all post-tension cables. We also provide estimated PT cable lengths and concrete volume directly on the drawings, making the take-off process simpler and more accurate.

KEA Structural Engineers is approved by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) to provide engineering and inspections for homes built in TDI-designated catastrophe areas. Our expertise ensures your structure meets windstorm compliance requirements, keeping your home safe and resilient against extreme weather conditions.
