Work

Aesthetics

Looks can matter.  Smith Lubke Structural Design excels at understanding architectural visions and challenges.  From conceptual design through construction, consideration to the architecture is factored into the structure.

Performance

Understanding how a building performs is key to a successful design.  Working with each project team, Smith Lubke Structural Design endeavors to understand expectations of each project and tailors every design to best meet these needs.

Constructability

Smith Lubke Structural Design understands that the design we produce is only effective if it can be built.  The company works with the project team to identify possible construction challenges and seeks structural solutions to simplify those challenges.

Safety

Safety trumps all.  Smith Lubke Structural Design’s core service is to provide a design that meets or exceeds current building code requirements to insure structure safety.  All projects fall into this category.

Economics

A building’s structure doesn’t have to be fancy.  Smith Lubke Structural Design knows how to create a structure that is affordable to construct with standard materials and assemblies.
