Seismic Retrofit
Many Bay Area homes were built before modern seismic standards. A retrofit strengthens the connection between the house and its foundation.
What's included
- Existing-condition evaluation
- Foundation and structural work
- Engineering coordination
- Permit coordination
What makes it hard
Every older home is different
Foundation type, framing and access vary from house to house, so retrofit scope starts with an evaluation, not a template.
Our approach
We evaluate the home, coordinate the engineering, and carry out the structural work with the permits in place.
Questions
Do you handle permits?+
Yes. Permit coordination is part of our process: we prepare and coordinate submissions with the design team and work through city review and inspections.
Where do you work?+
We're based in San Jose and work across the South Bay, the Peninsula and the Fremont area: San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont, San Mateo, Burlingame, Fremont, Newark and Union City.
