Housing
One Design & Engineering supports architect, developers, and builders to deliver modern housing solutions to our communities. Our strength is being able to help our architects and housing developers evaluate design options and structural solutions to determine what works best for them and their project, and what they can do that can make it even better.
Look, anyone can size framing; anyone can pull data from a model; and anyone can compare weights and tonnages to estimate what is cheapest. These things are easy. The skill is being able bring out the most of a design with seamless style while balancing what’s most important to the client and the project.
It takes skill and expertise in architectural and engineering principles to achieve this. That is what makes One Design & Engineering unique.
