Pool & Site Structural Engineering in Austin

Pools, decks, and retaining structures that elevate outdoor living. Hillside pools, terraces, and site walls bring real structural demands — slopes, soils, and water — and we engineer them to hold their ground.

Hill Country sites don’t behave like flat lots. Sloped-lot foundations, pool shells, cabanas, decks, and retaining walls are engineered light and tuned to hillside and expansive soils, so the outdoor space feels effortless because the structure beneath it isn’t.

We coordinate with pool builders, landscape designers, and general contractors, and our drawings carry the structural documentation the project needs for permitting and inspections.

Fabulous to work with. Everything was completed on schedule and very reasonably priced, with all the documentation and inspections we needed for our pool.
