Structural truth,
sealed and signed.
Independent, PE-sealed evaluations of how a building actually carries its load — foundations, framing, drainage, and the structures that hold them up. No repair quotas. Just the engineering.
Engineering services, from the footing up.
Every assessment ends in a clear, sealed report you can act on — whether you are buying a home, defending a claim, or building from the ground up.
Foundation Inspections
Independent evaluation of slab and pier-and-beam foundations, movement, and serviceability.
02↗Foundation & Framing
Full structural review of how the foundation and framing work together to carry the building.
03↗Structural Assessments
Load-path analysis of beams, columns, walls, and connections — sealed for permits or litigation.
04↗Drainage & Grading
Site drainage and grading evaluations that protect the foundation from the water that moves it.
05↗Retaining Walls
Inspection and design of retaining structures — earth pressure, drainage, and stability.
06↗Expert Witness
Litigation support and independent expert testimony grounded in defensible engineering.
07↗Pre-Purchase Inspections
Know the structure before you buy — a sealed second opinion that protects your investment.
08↗New Construction Phasing
Phase inspections through construction to confirm the build matches the engineering.
09↗Forensic Inspections
Root-cause investigation of distress and failure — looking past the surface to the source.
Complex buildings, demanding loads.
Where a generic floor will not do — large clear spans, dense equipment loads, and round-the-clock occupancy.
Casino & Resort Buildings
Long, column-free spans and transfer structures for floors that have to feel open and carry heavy loads around the clock.
Gaming Room Engineering
Floor loading, power, cooling, and vibration control for dense rooms of powered equipment and constant occupancy.
Data Center Engineering
Raised-access floors, concentrated rack loads, and cooling — the structure behind an operation that cannot pause.
From first call to sealed report.
A straight, predictable path — most reports are in your hands within days, not weeks.
Tell us the building
Share the address and your concern. We scope the right inspection and schedule it.
Field assessment
A licensed engineer measures, documents, and evaluates the structure in person.
Load-path review
We work the numbers — how loads travel from roof to soil, and where they don't.
Sealed report
A clear, PE-sealed report with findings, photos, and plain recommendations.
Engineering you can put your name beside.
Independent by design
We inspect and report — we don't sell repairs. The finding is the product, not a sales lead.
Every report is PE-sealed
Signed and sealed by a licensed Texas Professional Engineer — accepted by lenders and courts.
Days, not weeks
A workflow built for turnaround, because closings and claims rarely wait.
The engineer's signature means something.
Behind every Lighthouse report is a Texas PE who stakes their license on it.
“Reputation is earned one honest result at a time — a belief we carry into everything we put our name beside.”
