Practical engineering support for design, detailing, production, and construction.

MHC Engineers provides structural engineering services for commercial, industrial, aviation, and specialty structures, with particular expertise in steel and precast systems. Our designs emphasize constructability, fabrication efficiency, and cost-conscious solutions without compromising quality.

We use Autodesk Revit to produce high quality plans and accurate LOD 400 models. For precast structures, our model is used to produce fabrication shop drawings directly integrated. For steel structures, we integrate steel detailing models early in the design phase with the option to fully develop steel shops at the same time full contract plans are developed.

Precast delegated design requires more than structural analysis, it requires an understanding of production, transportation, erection, and coordination. MHC Engineers partners with precast producers to develop practical engineering solutions that integrate with manufacturing workflows and reduce costly redesign.

Steel detailing software has automated many aspects of modeling and drawing production, but quality shop drawings require far more than software proficiency.

At MHC Engineers, we understand how steel is purchased, fabricated, welded, shipped, and erected. That practical knowledge allows us to identify opportunities to improve constructability, reduce fabrication hours, and lower project costs.

Truly understanding fabrication and erection cost is what sets us apart from our competitors.

Maintaining current fabrication information throughout a project is one of the biggest challenges steel fabricators face.

MHC Engineers offers integration directly into your Tekla PowerFab workflows to help maintain current drawing packages and document control. We have experience with PowerFab estimating, inventory, project management, production control, and purchasing. We understand the difference between ordering from the mill and going to the warehouse. Allow your project managers to focus on schedules and contracts and we’ll handle the imports.

We offer this on our projects and are willing to provide this service on a per month basis. Use your detailers and we’ll help you keep consistent PowerFab quality.

MHC Engineers provides forensic engineering services for structural failures, construction deficiencies, wind damage, and performance-related issues. Our investigations combine structural engineering expertise with a practical understanding of construction methods and industry standards.
