Building from the ground up gives you total control over the design — but it also means every structural element must be engineered correctly from the start. ENE Structural Engineering provides complete structural design for new residential, commercial, and industrial construction across the Phoenix metro area. From foundation to roof, we deliver the permit-ready engineering plans that keep your project on schedule and on code.
Restaurant owners building out new locations or renovating existing spaces
Retail tenants customizing leased commercial space
Medical and dental office buildouts requiring structural modifications
Landlords and property managers preparing spaces for new tenants
General contractors managing commercial renovation projects
Franchise operators opening new South Florida locations
Every new building in Maricopa County requires structural engineering. Whether it is a single-family home in Chandler, a multi-story commercial building in Phoenix, or an industrial warehouse in Surprise, the building department will not issue a permit without sealed structural plans from a licensed Professional Engineer.
But structural engineering is not just about getting the permit. It is about getting the design right. A well-engineered structure optimizes material usage (saving you money on construction costs), minimizes field problems during the build, and ensures the building performs safely for its entire lifespan.
In the Phoenix metro area, new construction must comply with the International Building Code (IBC), ASCE 7-22 for load design, AISC for steel, and ACI for concrete — all as adopted by your local jurisdiction. Wind loads, seismic considerations, soil conditions, and occupancy requirements all factor into the structural design. An engineer who works in this market every day knows these codes and how local plan reviewers interpret them.
Getting it right the first time avoids permit rejections, plan review comments, change orders, and contractor delays. That is the value of experienced structural engineering.


Step 1: Project Kickoff
Share your architectural plans, site survey, and project details. We review the project scope and provide a clear proposal with timeline, deliverables, and pricing.
Step 2: Structural Design
We develop the complete structural engineering design -- foundations, floor systems, wall framing and bracing, roof structure, and connections. We use Enercalc, Riza 3D, SAP2000, and STAAD to analyze and design each element for the specific loads and conditions of your project.
Step 3: Construction Documents
We produce detailed structural construction documents in AutoCAD -- foundation plans, framing plans, structural details, connection details, and specifications. The complete package is sealed by a licensed Arizona PE.
Step 4: Team Coordination
We coordinate directly with your architect, general contractor, and other consultants to ensure the structural design integrates with all disciplines. Structural engineering does not exist in isolation -- we make sure it fits with the full project.
Step 5: Permitting and Construction Support
You receive a complete, permit-ready structural package. We handle plan review responses if the building department issues comments, and we are available for construction-phase questions as your contractor builds from our plans.

From foundation to roof, ENE Structural Engineering delivers the structural plans your new construction project needs — engineered for Phoenix, sealed by a licensed PE, and ready for permit.
Answers to the Most Common Questions For Property Owners, Contractors, and Developers
Costs depend on the building type, size, complexity, and structural system. A single-family home is priced differently than a multi-story commercial building. We provide detailed proposals with clear pricing after reviewing your architectural plans.
Residential projects typically take two to four weeks from receipt of architectural plans. Commercial and industrial projects may take three to six weeks depending on scope and complexity. We provide timeline estimates in every proposal.
Yes. In Arizona, your architect handles the building design and layout, while a structural engineer designs the structural system — foundations, framing, connections, and load resistance — that holds the building up. Both are required for permit submission on any new construction project.
Yes. We design structural systems in all four primary materials — wood framing, structural steel, reinforced concrete, and masonry. We recommend the most appropriate material or combination based on your project's requirements, budget, and local availability.
We produce the sealed structural package for permit submission and respond to building department comments and requests for information. We coordinate with the plan reviewer until the structural engineering portion of your permit is approved.
Yes. Our principal engineer has specific experience designing multi-story buildings in steel, concrete, and masonry — including commercial office buildings, multi-family residential, industrial facilities, and institutional structures.
Free initial consultation. No obligation. We typically respond within 24 hours.
