Come join North America’s premier timber engineering and construction company!
StructureCraft specializes in the structural engineering, design, fabrication, and erection of timber structures incorporating steel, glass, concrete, and other materials. We work with clients and architects to create carefully detailed buildings and bridge structures that break new ground in sophistication, craftsmanship, and quality. We thrive on new and challenging design concepts, materials, and construction methods. StructureCraft enjoys pushing the boundaries in complex geometry, digital fabrication, and in material testing and research, and our work in this regard has been recognized internationally, including numerous awards for innovation in timber engineering and construction.

As we provide structural Engineer of Record services, structural drafters and BIM technicians play a key role in our organization, acting as the hub of design information from the architect and our own structural engineering team. Creating structural drawings which are both beautiful and technical is our passion – and communicating these structural concepts is key to our business model, working with some of the world’s top architects. We use Revit to create our consulting phase 3D models and drawings, which then move directly to our fabrication software for further detailing including shop drawings, and our installation drawings. Rhino is used during our concept phases for design iterations on simpler structures, and is used for end-to-end project delivery for freeform structures.
