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.

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.
