SERVICE
As Structural Engineers, efficient designs and design drawings are our business, but it is service that makes Grivas♦Krause Associates stand out. We strive to not only provide our clients efficient, cost-effective designs, but to look out for their interests as well. This comes in the form of our ability to anticipate and avoid potential problems, whether in the building permit process, during construction, or while in use. It also means consistently conforming to project schedules with reliable construction documents.
Our goal is to provide our clients with outstanding service while producing the most efficient design for their projects. Most of our services are provided to repeat clients, which we feel is a testament to these philosophies.
