Permit-ready structural drawings for your home project.
Beam letters, load-bearing wall removals, deck and addition permit sets — engineered and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer. Fixed prices. Fast turnaround. Built to pass your town's permit office.
Three ways we help homeowners
Every project is structural engineering only — engineered, stamped drawings and letters. We don't build; we make sure what gets built is sound and approvable.
Fast structural letters & permits
When your contractor, town, or solar installer needs an engineer's letter fast.
- Solar panel structural letters
- Beam & load-bearing wall removal letters
- Deck & basement permit drawings
- Single-element calcs (beam, header, post)
Additions & renovation design
Full structural design for the bigger projects that change your home's footprint.
- Additions & second-story builds
- Open-concept & wall-removal renovations
- New single-family dwellings
- Full permit-ready structural sets
Specialty & problem-solving
The harder structural questions that need senior engineering judgment.
- Retaining walls
- Foundation repair design
- Flood / FEMA elevation work
- Forensic investigation & peer review

What our deliverables look like
Representative examples of the engineering deliverables we produce. These illustrate our standards and format — every item below is an illustrative example, not a specific client project.
Beam letter & calcs
A single permit-ready sheet with load calculations and a sealed engineer's letter — the format used for wall removals and beam sizing.
Full structural permit set
A representative multi-sheet set showing framing plans, details, and notes — the deliverable for additions and renovations.
Design visualization
Representative 3D framing model used to communicate structural design clearly to homeowners and contractors.
As founding-client projects are completed, this section grows into a portfolio of real, permitted case studies.
Senior structural engineering, sized for your home
Palisades Structural is a structural-engineering practice serving homeowners across New Jersey and New York, built on a simple idea: homeowners deserve the same engineering rigor large projects get — delivered quickly, priced clearly, and stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.
The name reflects what we stand for. Like the Palisades that line the Hudson, our work is meant to be solid, enduring, and unmistakably sound — backed by a background in large-scale, high-stakes structural engineering, now focused on residential design and permitting across the New Jersey and New York region.
We are a design-only practice. We don't take on construction, which keeps our judgment independent and our only job clear: sound, approvable, professionally sealed engineering.
