Dorchester Brewing Co – Boston, MA

This design team delivered an expansive exterior roof deck and rooftop greenhouse with 360-degree city views. A challenging addition to the existing structure:

  • Steel column pierce through the existing concrete roof structure to new & existing pile-supported foundations.
  • A composite steel transfer frame to support the new greenhouse to avoid overloading the existing roof structure.
  • Seismic upgrade using select exterior CMU walls
  • Conceptual design study confirmed project could be completed within budget.

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.
