Introducing The H+O Cost Index

Stop overpaying on your building's structure.

Businesses who partner with H+O save an average of $800,000 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.

“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.”

Tom Dixon
MiTek

“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.”

Rob Simmons
Cathartes

“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.”

Robert Harbeson
Market Square Architects

“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.”

Ryan Noone
EMBARC

“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.”

Parker Snyder
ARCO National Construction

“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.”
