MAJO Engineering, PLLC
We provide practical structural engineering and construction consulting services with a focus on residential projects.
Our experience also extends to commercial construction, project management and engineering support, allowing us to assist clients on projects of varying size and complexity.
Why people call us
Engineering is only useful if it gets your project moving. That shapes how the practice runs.
You talk to the engineer
The person who visits the building is the person who seals the drawings and answers the site questions.
- No account manager, no hand-off to a junior.
- The person who measured the building signs the drawings.
- You keep the same contact through permitting and construction.
Built for permitting
Packages assembled to be submitted, and plan review comments answered as part of the job.
- Sets assembled complete: plans, sections, details and notes.
- Consistent with the architectural set before it is issued.
- Plan review comments on our stamped work answered at no extra fee.
Plain language
You'll be able to repeat what we told you to your builder — and that includes when you don't need us.
- What the building needs, and what it doesn't.
- Where there is a cheaper or simpler way to build it.
- When the work sits outside our scope, and who is better placed.
Reachable mid-build
Site conditions surprise everyone. Quick answers keep the crew working instead of waiting.
- Field questions answered the same day wherever possible.
- Revised details issued when conditions differ from the drawing.
- Observation visits at the stages that matter.
