Stop paying for building structure you don't need.
It’s common for businesses who partner with H+O to save $500k, $800k and even $1M+ per project.
How? Structure costs are not something structural engineers typically measure, making it impossible for them – and you – to understand the cost implications of each design decision. Seemingly insignificant design decisions greatly impact the bottom line.

We’re proud to support some of the leading developers and architects in the world.
“H+O’s proactive communication and strong processes make sure key decisions are made on time, avoiding unnecessary setbacks and keeping projects on track.
We have confidence in H+O to not only deliver, but to think big picture, supporting long-term success beyond just one project.”
“I can confidently say they’ve been an invaluable partner. They aren’t afraid to think outside the box, which has helped us optimize our structural designs and achieve greater efficiency on each project.
I highly recommend H+O to anyone looking for a reliable, innovative and collaborative partner.”
“H+O Cost Index is an amazing tool that is one big hammer helping us build a small city!
I will choose working smart from the start and using data to steer our decisions right the first time …..over a huge delay in our momentum to value engineer…. all day every day!”
“I’m diving into his detailing to try to optimize and de-risk the plans + specs, but HE ALREADY DID IT!
2 thumbs up from me.”
“Really efficient, great communication and follow-up. They explain the options and impacts in a way that is easy for everyone to understand their value and make decisions.”
“Just got a view of {the H+O Cost Index} first hand on a current project. Great tool!
Found some major savings with minimal impact to the overall design.”
“Their ability to quickly and creatively respond to inherent challenges we encounter in the field is so important to keeping my jobs on track and moving forward. Their collaborative approach to design, with a focus on cost efficiency and buildability, is second to none. First hand can attest to the value of the H+O Cost Index – really unique and valuable.”
I wouldn’t do a job without H+O on my team.”
“I have been fortunate to work with H+O on several wood-framed projects. I have found them to have a good understanding of how to effectively utilize offsite components in a way that brings great value to their clients.
They do a great job designing cost-effective projects that are easily constructed. I would give them a high recommendation.”
“I can say with confidence H+O executes at a high level, regardless of the project type or location, and consistently does so in a timely manner.”
“I believe that most, if not all, of their structural engineers are trained to deliver a similar result that looks and feels the same. They have their systems down.”
“They work with us, not against us. They don’t complain, bring a negative attitude, or “this is how I do it” ego. They are fresh thinking, can-do collaborators, in which we enjoy their presence as ‘designers’ on the team.”
“Great to work with the very dependable team at H+O on this new Medical building in Waltham, MA!”
“As real estate developers, we are extremely grateful to have H+O in our corner. The H+O team are creative problem solvers who continuously demonstrate their value by helping us untangle complicated projects and expose the value within. We appreciate H+O’s dedication to achieving the goals of our project and we look forward to many more successful projects together.”
