BayFrame
About our firm

A practical structural engineering firm built around Bay Area residential work.

Our firm focuses on one thing: residential structural engineering across the San Francisco Bay Area. We work with homeowners, architects, and contractors on remodels, additions, ADUs, custom homes, retaining walls, and seismic retrofits.

Every project is stamped by a California-licensed Professional Engineer with deep Bay Area permit experience. We know what San Francisco DBI wants on a soft-story submittal, what Oakland flags on a hillside foundation, and how Berkeley reviews shear walls.

We're built to scale. As our team grows we keep the same standard: practical structural solutions, drawings your contractor can build from, and engineers you can actually reach during construction.

Our team

Our engineers.

We're a firm of engineers, not a single-engineer practice. Your project is supported by principals, project engineers, drafters, and permit coordinators.

Collaboration

Built around your team.

Working with architects

Collaborative structural input from schematic design through plan check. We coordinate cleanly with your sheet set, help solve span and cantilever problems early, and handle permit corrections so you can focus on design.

Working with contractors

Buildable structural details, framing solutions that match real-world materials, and quick RFI responses during construction. Our engineers think like builders.
