Structural analysis
Gravity, lateral, wind, and seismic analysis of new and existing structures. Load-path tracing, capacity checks against current code, and a clear answer on what a building can take before you commit to a change.

Every load has a path.
We find it, size it, and seal it — steel, concrete, masonry, and wood. For the general contractors and architects who need the numbers to hold.

Services
What we’re brought in to do.
S—02
Structural design
Member and connection design across all four materials, from schematic framing layouts through sealed construction documents — coordinated with architecture and MEP, detailed for how it will actually get built.
S—03
Structural forensics
Investigation of cracking, deflection, settlement, corrosion, and failure. Field inspection, back-analysis of the original design, and a written determination of cause — with a remediation scheme when you need one.
S—04
Documentation
Drawing sets, calculation packages, specifications, and letters of certification prepared for permit review and for the record — legible, complete, and organized so the reviewer finds what they came for.
Capabilities
Four materials. Every member.
We size, detail, and seal the full range within each material — not a narrow specialty that leaves you finding a second engineer halfway through the set.

The firm
Direct access to the engineer.
Hardpoint Global is a United States–based structural engineering practice serving clients internationally.
We work directly with general contractors and architects — no layers between the person drawing the detail and the person answering the RFI. Scope runs from a single lintel to a full building frame.
Deliverables are sealed drawings and calculation packages prepared to the governing code for the jurisdiction, coordinated with the rest of the design team, and detailed with the trades in mind.
01
Scope call
Drawing review up front. We tell you what's engineering and what isn't before a fee is quoted.
02
Fixed-fee proposal
A stated deliverable list and schedule. No hourly surprises mid-set.
03
Analysis & design
Framing coordination issued for your review before anything is sealed.
04
Seal & support
Sealed issue, permit support, and RFI response through construction.
