Cory D.
Structural, Civil and Geotechnical Engineering
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a California-licensed Professional Civil Engineer providing structural and civil engineering services for residential and light-commercial projects throughout California. I work with homeowners, architects, contractors, and developers from initial planning through permitting and construction. Whether your project involves a custom home, ADU, addition, remodel, or light-commercial improvement, I can help develop a safe, practical, and permit-ready solution. My services include: • Structural analysis, calculations, and design • Permit-ready construction documents • Custom homes, ADUs, additions, and remodels • Foundation and retaining-wall design • Grading and drainage plans • Code-compliance and constructability reviews • Coordination with architects, contractors, and MEP professionals • Engineering support during permitting and construction • Review and continuation of projects started by another engineer I can also assist when a project needs to be transferred from another engineer. After reviewing the existing plans, calculations, permit comments, and current project status, I can identify the remaining work and establish a clear path toward completion. Any transferred project is independently evaluated to confirm code compliance, technical accuracy, and professional responsibility before I proceed. My background in structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering allows me to consider the project as a whole, including site conditions, foundation requirements, drainage, constructability, and permitting considerations. I believe effective engineering should provide clarity and support informed decision-making. My clients can expect thoughtful technical solutions, clear communication, and responsive service throughout every phase of their project. My goal is to deliver engineering that is safe, code-compliant, efficient to construct, and aligned with the project’s design and budget. If you are planning a new project—or need assistance completing one already underway—I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs and determine how I can assist.
