Structural Engineering Plans in Pasadena & Los Angeles
Structural plans are developed as part of ATP's coordinated design process — ensuring your architectural and structural documentation are fully aligned before city submission. Already have plans? ATP can review and correct structural deficiencies before they become costly plan check corrections.
Structural Engineering Services ATP Provides
ATP develops structural plans as part of a coordinated design process — fully integrated with architectural documentation and aligned with city submission requirements. For clients with existing plans, ATP can step in to review and correct structural deficiencies before submission.
Structural Plan Development
Complete structural engineering plans developed in coordination with architectural plans — foundation design, framing specifications, load calculations, and all structural documentation required for city plan check submission.
Foundation Design
Engineered foundation plans tailored to your site conditions, soil type, and structural loads — including slab-on-grade, raised foundations, and deep foundation systems where site conditions require.
Framing Plans
Structural framing documentation — floor systems, wall framing, roof framing, and engineered lumber specifications developed to meet city code requirements and construction field needs.
Soils & Geotechnical Coordination
ATP coordinates with geotechnical engineers on soils reports and site investigation findings — ensuring foundation design is aligned with actual site conditions before structural plans are finalized.
Structural Plan Review & Correction
For clients with existing architectural or structural plans that are incomplete or deficient, ATP reviews current documentation, identifies structural issues, and coordinates corrections before city submission.
Hillside & Complex Structural Systems
Engineered structural solutions for hillside properties, steep lots, and projects requiring retaining systems, caissons, or advanced foundation engineering — coordinated with civil and geotechnical requirements.
Everything Involved in Your Structural Engineering Documentation
Structural engineering involves coordination across multiple disciplines — architecture, geotechnical, civil, and city review. ATP manages every component to ensure your structural plans are complete, code-compliant, and aligned with your architectural documentation before submission.
Architectural & Structural Coordination
ATP develops structural plans in direct coordination with architectural documentation — ensuring both sets of plans are fully aligned and consistent before city plan check submission.
Load Calculations & Engineering Analysis
Structural load calculations, lateral analysis, and engineering documentation required by city building departments for plan check review and approval.
Soils Report Coordination
ATP coordinates with geotechnical engineers to ensure foundation design reflects actual site soil conditions — preventing foundation-related plan check corrections after submission.
City Plan Check Support
When the city issues structural corrections, ATP reviews each item, coordinates required engineering revisions, and manages resubmittal to keep your approval on schedule.
Third Party Plan Review Coordination
For projects requiring third party structural review, ATP coordinates the review process directly — managing documentation, responses, and resubmittal as needed.
How Structural Engineering Works With ATP
Structural plans are developed as part of ATP's coordinated design process — integrated with architectural documentation from the start. Here's how ATP manages structural engineering from consultation through permit approval.
Consultation
ATP reviews your project scope, property conditions, and structural requirements. For clients with existing plans, ATP reviews current documentation to identify any structural deficiencies before moving forward.
Geotechnical & Site Review
Where required, ATP coordinates soils investigation and geotechnical reporting to ensure foundation design is based on actual site conditions before structural plans are developed.
Structural Plan Development
ATP develops complete structural engineering plans in coordination with architectural documentation — foundation design, framing plans, load calculations, and all structural documentation required for city submission.
Architectural Coordination
Structural plans are reviewed and aligned with architectural documentation to ensure both sets are fully consistent and ready for city plan check submission together.
Plan Check Submission & Support
ATP submits coordinated architectural and structural plans to the city and manages the plan check process — tracking status, responding to corrections, and coordinating revisions through full permit approval.

Frequently Asked Questions About Structural Engineering Plans
Are structural plans included with architectural plans?
Yes. When clients engage ATP for design services, structural engineering plans are developed as part of the coordinated design process — bundled with architectural documentation to ensure both sets are fully aligned before city submission.
Can ATP review structural plans prepared by another engineer?
Yes. For clients with existing plans that are incomplete or structurally deficient, ATP can review current documentation, identify issues, and coordinate corrections before city submission.
Why do structural and architectural plans need to be coordinated?
Structural and architectural plans must be consistent with each other for city plan check approval. Misalignment between the two sets is one of the most common causes of plan check corrections — delaying approval and adding cost. ATP develops both sets in coordination to prevent this.
What is a soils report and do I need one?
A soils report — also called a geotechnical report — is an engineering analysis of your site's soil conditions. It is required for most new construction and hillside projects to ensure foundation design is appropriate for actual site conditions. ATP coordinates soils investigation as part of the structural engineering process where required.
Does ATP provide structural plans for hillside projects?
Yes. ATP develops engineered structural solutions for hillside properties — including retaining systems, caissons, and advanced foundation engineering coordinated with civil and geotechnical requirements.
Does ATP provide structural plans for commercial projects?
Yes. ATP develops structural engineering documentation for ground-up commercial projects — prepared to commercial occupancy and code standards and coordinated with architectural plans for city submission.
What happens if the city issues structural corrections?
When the city issues structural plan check corrections, ATP reviews each item, coordinates required engineering revisions, and manages resubmittal to keep your approval on schedule.
