commercial structural engineering projects in new york & florida

A.S. Engineering Services, P.C. provides structural engineering for commercial, mixed-use, industrial, institutional and municipal projects throughout New York and Florida, with additional capabilities across the United States.

Our work includes new construction, renovations, adaptive reuse, additions and structural evaluations of existing buildings. We collaborate with architects, developers, contractors, property managers and building owners to develop practical structural systems that support the intended design, meet applicable building codes and account for the realities of construction.

The projects featured below represent a sampling of our commercial structural engineering work. They range from mixed-use developments and educational facilities to industrial buildings, façade investigations and complex renovations of existing structures.

commercial structural engineering that supports the entire project

A successful commercial building must do more than safely carry its anticipated loads. Its structural system must also accommodate the architectural layout, building systems, site conditions, construction sequence, schedule and budget.

A.S. Engineering Services works closely with the full project team to identify these considerations early. Our engineers evaluate structural alternatives, coordinate with other design disciplines and prepare clear construction documents that help reduce field conflicts, unnecessary material use and costly changes during construction.

Our experience encompasses steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood and composite structural systems, along with shallow foundations, pile-supported foundations, retaining systems and specialized structural components. This breadth of experience allows us to develop solutions suited to the building rather than forcing every project into the same approach.

commercial buildings and facilities we serve

Our commercial structural engineering experience includes:

• Office and professional buildings
• Retail and mixed-use developments
• Multifamily and condominium projects
• Schools and institutional facilities
• Warehouses and industrial buildings
• Medical and healthcare facilities
• Municipal buildings
• Loading docks and building additions
• Coastal and waterfront developments
• Adaptive-reuse and change-of-use projects

Commercial projects frequently involve constraints that are not apparent at the beginning of design. Existing construction may be undocumented. A new tenant may introduce heavier equipment or different occupancy loads. The architectural design may call for open floor plans, long spans, cantilevers or limited locations for columns and lateral-resisting elements.

Our engineers examine those conditions, define the structural requirements and develop a solution that balances safety, constructibility and cost.

frequently asked questions about commercial structural engineering

What types of commercial projects does AS Engineering Services work on?

AS Engineering Services provides structural engineering for office buildings, retail properties, mixed-use developments, multifamily buildings, schools, medical facilities, warehouses, industrial structures and municipal projects. Our experience includes new construction as well as renovations, additions and adaptive-reuse projects.

Do you provide structural engineering for both new and existing commercial buildings?

Yes. We design structural systems for new commercial construction and evaluate existing buildings for renovations, additions, new tenants and changes in use. When existing framing or foundations require reinforcement, we can prepare structural modification and repair plans.

Can you determine whether an existing building can support a new use?

Yes. Our engineers evaluate the building’s existing structural components, anticipated occupancy and proposed loads to determine whether the structure can safely accommodate its new use. This may include examining floor framing, roof systems, walls, columns and foundations.

Can you evaluate floors or roofs for heavy commercial equipment?

Yes. We assess existing floors and roofs for loads created by medical equipment, manufacturing machinery, mechanical units, solar installations, green roofs and other commercial systems. If the existing structure is inadequate, we can design the necessary reinforcement.

Does AS Engineering Services work on commercial renovations and adaptive-reuse projects?

Yes. Commercial renovation and adaptive reuse are significant parts of our work. We help project teams address structural changes associated with wall removal, floor openings, altered layouts, new stairs, equipment installations, additions and conversions to different occupancies.

Which structural materials and systems does your team design?

Our experience includes structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, wood and composite construction. We also design shallow and deep foundations, pile-supported structures, retaining walls, moment frames, braced frames, shear walls and temporary support systems.

Do you provide shoring and underpinning designs?

Yes. AS Engineering Services designs shoring, underpinning and temporary structural support for commercial renovations, excavations and projects where portions of an existing building must remain stable during construction.

Can you help investigate cracks, movement or other structural concerns?

Yes. We perform structural evaluations and forensic investigations to identify the likely causes of cracking, movement, deterioration, façade distress and other observed conditions. Based on our findings, we can recommend repairs or prepare remediation documents when appropriate.

Do you coordinate with architects, contractors and other consultants?

Yes. We work closely with architects, developers, contractors, property managers, building owners and other engineering disciplines. Early coordination helps resolve conflicts, improve constructability and reduce avoidable changes during construction.

Does AS Engineering Services provide construction-phase support?

Yes. Depending on the project scope, our construction-phase services may include responding to contractor questions, reviewing relevant submittals, conducting site observations, clarifying structural details and addressing unforeseen conditions discovered during construction.

Do you work on commercial projects in both New York and Florida?

Yes. AS Engineering Services serves commercial clients in New York and Florida, including New York City, Long Island and Florida’s coastal and inland communities. The firm also undertakes projects in other jurisdictions when professional licensing and the project scope permit.

How should I prepare for an initial commercial project consultation?

Provide any available architectural drawings, surveys, existing structural plans, photographs, inspection reports and information about the proposed use or construction. If the building will receive new equipment, specifications showing its weight, dimensions and support requirements are also helpful. AS Engineering Services can then evaluate the requested scope and identify the next steps.
