• “Joe Connor with Structural Design Group has proved to be the most responsive structural engineer I have worked with in 18 years. His knowledge, expertise, and experience of steel structures helped us complete the St. Mary’s Community Hospital on time and under budget. Joe’s frequent site visits and attendance at key subcontractor pre-installation meetings were very beneficial in establishing great communication with our team. When problems arose, Joe was always able to be contacted and his years of experience shined when he could give our team an immediate course of action to correct a situation, even if he was in an airport or in the middle of another project. Joe worked collaboratively with our on-site team to find the best result for the project to keep it moving ahead.”

    Corey Erdkamp, Superintendent at St. Mary’s Community Hospital, J.E. Dunn - February 2015

  • “I started work in the construction industry in 1962 and have worked for steel fabricators, concrete contractors and general contractors since then. I have, conservatively speaking, viewed over 20,000 sets of construction documents in that amount of time. Last week, I had the pleasure of making a rebar take-off on your West End Marriott project. I am writing to let you know that this set of drawings was the best I have ever encountered. They were complete, accurate, well organized and easy to follow. A real pleasure to work with.”

    Jimmy Gee, 1800 West End Marriott Nufab Rebar, LLC, Ambassador Steel Fabrication, LLC - July 2010

  • “I have worked with Structural Design Group on numerous projects over the past 10 to 12 years. These projects have been in many areas of the United States - Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas … SDG provides good drawings and is very helpful and responsive during shop drawing review. They are quick to respond to RFI’s and are receptive to a phone call to work through details and questions. Their job site visits have been more than adequate and they are very helpful in assuring no details are missed. I am always glad to see SDG as part of the design team on a project.”

    Mike Herrmann, Sr. Superintendent, Layton Construction Co., Inc. - February 2015

  • “I appreciate the team approach that SDG believes in and I appreciate how your help has made my success that much easier.”

    JR Howell, Senior Superintendent HealthCare Group, Layton Construction Co., Inc. - February 2015

  • “My first experience with Structural Design Group was Alaska Regional Hospital, and the Municipality of Anchorage had some concerns having an engineering group from such a long distance away. Anchorage is in the highest of seismic zones and being the city that experienced the second strongest earthquake on record, the structural integrity of buildings, especially essential facilities, are closely reviewed by the Anchorage building dept. The Municipality of Anchorage was very impressed by the attention Structural Design Group gave, they had one of their engineers fly to Anchorage to answer all the building dept. concerns and the permitting for this project was completed quickly which always helps with the project schedule…. I feel that Structural Design Group sits atop my list of engineers I like to work with.”

    John Hesser Sr., Superintendent, JE Dunn Construction Company - February 2015

  • “… reportedly the largest cast in place parking structure in the Southeast…. The structural documents are very good, but there are always field questions. SDG has always been responsive both during the submittal process and field construction….. This project required early release foundations and was fast-tracked to allow us to proceed with construction. SDG has never delayed response or observations.”

    Larry Helms, Grandview Trinity Medical Center and Parking Structure, Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC - February 2015
