Designing and Building
Your Projects are our Passion
A dedicated team of structural engineers and detailers, GPLA takes a cross-functional approach to project delivery.
We believe there is art in engineering and that building is a craft. Most importantly, we find joy in collaborating to revolutionize the ways buildings are designed and built.
Asking "Why Not?" is a gateway to endless possibilities.
Our Process
Our people are willing to push the boundaries of our clients' expectations to deliver truly outstanding and creative solutions for our clients. We pride ourselves on our ability to design for construction means and methods, follow the principles of performance-based design, and thrive on unusual logistics and schedule challenges. Our engineers, designers, and detailers offer a wide range of in-house capabilities, from design documents to fabrication drawings for structural steel, rebar and light gauge steel framing.
We are committed to
Renaissance Engineering
The idea that it is not enough to merely run calculations and design basic details; a solution must also consider the building, planning, and sequencing of the entire project to maximize the value to the owner and society. A design solution should be creative yet simple and address all of these criteria while supporting an integrated and elegant outcome.
To achieve this, GPLA performs both state of the art structural engineering and full-service structural detailing in house. A job is not complete until the design is worked out all the way through construction and fabrication. It is never acceptable to do just the bare minimum, we always look for ways to improve the entire project experience.
