Our Business

If you are a home owner, please have your engineer call JacketPlate. This means you will get a better product while saving some money; if you are an architect, please give us a call before you compromise your vision to structural limitations. We have no problem to use W10s for beams & columns in moment frames to brace any multi-story San Francisco style residential houses. Most importantly, it would NOT significantly increase construction cost. If you are a peer engineer, we thank you for visiting our site. Nothing more needs to be said, and we hope you already have an idea just by looking at the photos from real world projects.

Who We Are

We are structural engineers who specialize in weak story retrofit. We have extensive practical and research experience in seismic engineering. We have successfully done hundreds of retrofit projects around the Bay Area since 1998. We know what the problem is and we have found an elegant solution.
