Pinnacle Engineering, Inc.

❗ We've got some news❗ Pinnacle Engineering is now available for structural engineering projects in California. We have structural engineers on staff licensed nationally in every state except Alaska and Hawaii. Let's make your architectural vision structurally sound.

This is going to be a stunning and sustainable finished product! Our team is thrilled to be the structural engineers for this one.

Our talented team of engineers provided expertise for the full house design and the SIPs design for the Mountain SIP House. We love the collaboration with ACME Panel! SIPA: Structural Insulated Panel Association #SIPs #StructuralEngineering #BuildingExcellenceAward

SIPs have a lot of benefits for modern construction, especially for beachfront homes. This video featuring Matt Risinger and Extreme Panel Technologies showcases #SIP construction as a revolutionary method that provides homeowners with lower utility bills, reduced insurance rates, and quicker build times. It's also a project that our team provided structural engineering expertise for. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/g4CxFa9g

Happy #eweek2025! As structural engineers, thinking ahead is what we do. Whether that's designing strong and secure buildings or staying on top of industry shifts. We’re always looking at what’s next, from evolving building codes to the rise of AI. Our team recently shared their thoughts on how AI is shaking up structural engineering. Check out the blog to see what they had to say: https://lnkd.in/gyEKnPya #EngineeringWeek #StructuralEngineering #AI

❤️ ❤️ The Perfect Match = Architects & Structural Engineers Working in Harmony Successful collaboration and communication between structural engineers & architects is one of the most important parts of any project. We asked our engineers at Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. for their essential practices to make the process smoother. What’s your secret to a successful architect-engineer partnership? #ValentinesDay #StructuralEngineering #Architects

❗Takeover Day 3 ❗ We surveyed our structural engineering team at Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. and asked them the question: What 3 things should an architect look for when choosing a structural engineer? 👇 Check out their responses, summarized 👇 What do you value most in a structural engineer?

Day 2 of our takeover on AIA Cincinnati's page. Check it out!

Our Principal and Founder, Kip Ping, shared his expertise on structural engineering For AIA Cincinnati earlier today at The Kleingers Group office. He focused on the three pillars of structural engineering, here a just a couple of his main points: Economy The structure is not the place clients want to spend money, so considering the labor and material costs and the bottom line is one of the most important aspects when designing structures. Load Path Although the numbers and calculations matter, they don't if the load path doesn't exist, and generally, a direct load path is the ideal option. When thinking about structure, it's easy to get lost in all the details, but isolating the structure into each component can simplify the design. Compatibility Considering compatibility, or how well the structure performs once it's built, is another critical aspect. This is different from a safety calculation and is a more opinion-driven thought process, considering stiffness is the key. For example, a building structure design in Colorado requires a different thought process around the load design than a build in Ohio because of the amount of snow that happens yearly.
