Proven,
Creative, Professional
EW-Webb
Engineering has completed over 3000 projects in Southern
California. We have an excellent acceptance record at building
departments. About half of the projects have been remodels,
many have been new second stories over a single story residence.
"Our clients have been happy to learn that their existing
foundations can support another story with little or no
upgrade. We are very creative at solving all of our structural
challenges".
Wood
Frame Specialists
Over
ninety percent of the firm's projects have been Type V.
Earl Webb, the owner / principal of the company, says that
the emphasis in development of their computer methods has
been directed toward the fast and accurate production of
calculations for wood frame buildings. "We also perform
a great deal of designs for masonry, most in conjunction
with our Type V projects. We have the capability to design
any material for any use."
Highly
Computerized
Using
proprietary software, our designers can calculate every
load bearing element from rafters and joists to headers
and beams, following the load path completely down to and
including the foundation. This software allows us to consider
different options in design of the structural system for
economy and appropriateness. This ability is very costly
with conventional methods of performing calculations.
Cutting-Edge

and MicroLams. Framing hardware is cutting edge products
