InLine Engineering, Inc. has provided consulting and structural engineering documents for a number of apartments in Northern California. InLine has furnished review reports, studies, repair plans and calculations for various apartment buildings.
We have also been retained to provide construction documents for various apartment repairs or remodel projects. We have addressed particular problems that occur on apartment buildings: deteriorated railings, decks, stairs, landings and water damage of the main structure.
InLine Engineering has worked directly for apartment building owners and closely with the cities, architects and contractors on these projects. We have the understanding and experience in dealing with a common set of problems associated with apartment structures.
Our knowledge of present codes and building requirements, attention to detail and presentation of construction documents, gives the most demanding owner confidence when hiring InLine.
Our accessibility throughout the whole process of consulting, design and construction allows the property owner to rely on InLine as a valued consultant.
In addition to the design and construction administration, we also offer Field Inspections. InLine Engineering provides various levels of construction review.
Economy of construction is a primary consideration for an apartment building. Significant architectural and structural variations will not only drive up the cost of construction, but will require more maintenance over the life of the building.
The bracing system for apartments requires special consideration where tuck-under parking exists. Where possible it is best to utilize one type of material throughout a building. For example, while steel frames can provide bracing in an apartment building, they are relatively more expensive than wood framing solutions.
