Higgins Designs

Residential Structural Engineer in Austin, TX

Custom homes, additions, and remodels engineered around your life and your site. From ground-up construction on a challenging lot to opening a load-bearing wall in a remodel, we design structure that serves the architecture — not the other way around.

Austin lots are rarely simple. Sloped sites, expansive soils, heritage trees, and tight urban infill all shape what a foundation and frame need to be, so we engineer foundations and framing to real site conditions instead of forcing a standard solution onto a site that calls for more.

We dedicate real time to working out every detail and communicating it clearly, so what gets built matches the architectural intent — for the architect protecting a design vision, the builder who needs drawings a crew can move on, and the homeowner who wants the whole process to feel stress-free.
