Services
Shearwall Pro Design Services
In states we are licensed in, Shearwall Pro offers lateral engineering design services.
If you are a designer/architect and you would like to use the Shearwall Pro software to perform the lateral analysis and create the lateral drawings for your projects, we are happy to provide you with the necessary training. Otherwise, we can perform the lateral analysis and create the drawings for you.
Designers / Architects and Contractors
Some designers/architects are happy to use Shearwall Pro to perform the lateral calculations and create the drawings that we review and provide a stamp for. Other designers/architects would like us to perform the calculations and create the drawings. These two levels of service have different fee structures, the more work we do, the higher our fee will be.
If you are a designer/architect and would like to use Shearwall Pro to do the lateral calculations and create the drawings yourself, please go here and review the requirements.

Home Owners
Many people pursue their dream of building a home and are unaware of the obstacles they will run into during their journey. One issue that many people run into after purchasing a set of plans online is the building department will not issue a permit from the plans. Often, a lateral design is necessary to ensure the structure complies with the local building codes. Wind and Seismic forces can vary greatly from one jurisdiction to the next and increasingly, a lateral analysis is required for many houses as a requirement for a building permit to be issued.
