Frequently Asked Questions
Are you expensive?
Yes, relative to commodity design fees that is.
Relative to a building’s structure cost? No.
A building’s structure cost is typically 6,700% or more expensive than the engineering fee. Cutting corners to offer low fees would put our customer’s capital at risk.
Instead, we invest appropriately in the design team, processes and data to significantly increase the probability of a cost-effective structure.
Seems like the right investment. Would you disagree?
What structural systems can you engineer?
We don’t specialize in any one system. We specialize in identifying the right structural system for each development. Concrete, post-tensioned concrete, steel, wood, mass timber, light gage, CMU and beyond.
What market sectors do you serve?
At H+O, we care more about alignment with our client’s values and vision than the market sector we’re operating in. We service all building types at a high level.
Refer to our portfolio and the ‘Industry Type’ drop down list at the top of the page for more information on market sectors.
Do you offer flexible payment terms?
With high-integrity clients, absolutely. Standard agreements offer 30-day payment terms. Deferred payment terms and associated costs available with agreed upon payment dates.
Why should I care about the H+O Cost Index?
Structure costs are not something structural engineers measure, making it impossible for them – and you – to understand the cost implications of each design decision. It turns out, seemingly insignificant design decisions greatly impact the bottom line.
At H+O, we developed cost estimating training and processes allowing us to accumulate years of data and insights. The combined focus of structural engineering AND cost analysis give us a unique ability to identify cost-saving opportunities.
These processes led to the H+O Cost Index. For you, we generate a custom project dashboard illustrating the structural cost implications of a project and its design. It’s a transparent view of how money is spent on structure, and how it compares to similar developments.
With this offer, we’re able to improve decision making alongside our design, construction and development partners to greatly increase the probability of a cost-effective structural design.
