199 Gardner St – West Roxbury, MA

New multi-family residential development over parking space, with 84,600sf of framed floor/roof area. The project consists of 4-levels of Type VA wood construction over a 1-level Type IA post-tensioned concrete podium. The parking level is below finished grade which requires the use of tall cast-in-place concrete retaining walls around the building perimeter. Notable challenges – Through the usage of cantilevering the post-tensioned slab over the perimeter wall, the balconies above could be supported by wood posts.

H+O Structural Engineering is the expert in structural design and optimization.  We help commercial real estate projects across the nation go smoothly and cost-effectively.

Do you know how much you could be saving on your building structure costs?

We help developers save an average of $800,000 in structure costs per project.

How is that possible? 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.
