Seismic

Zenith Engineers helps Owners, Property Managers, and Developers navigate through the demands by ordinances or local code adoption to seismically retrofit or upgrade their buildings. Having designed over 600 building retrofits throughout California and Washington, we are recognized as a pioneer in the seismic industry. Zenith was the first firm to be issued an engineering permit from LADBS for soft story retrofit, so we have been leading from the front since the start.

With our other experience in residential design to large scale public works projects, covering disciplines from as-built drafting, to code analysis, we are able to offer a unique end to end experience that helps developers asses new acquisitions, to taking the project to full design to construction administration, or from owners who may want to voluntarily retrofit their buildings before a mandatory ordinance takes effect. We are able to tap into our diverse group of contractor clientele, who can help with ROM pricing to determine if a retrofit or a property acquisition is a wise investment.

Our experience in construction engineering provides a unique perspective of the overall life cycle of construction phasing that other engineers may lack, meaning our designs are building friendly, cost effective, and help reduce plan check comments. See below for more of our seismic services.
