Welsh Structures, Inc. (WSI) was founded in 2009 by Ms. Stephanie Welsh. Ms. Welsh has over 30 years of structural engineering experience and is licensed as a Structural Engineer in eight (8) States (CA, CO, AZ, AR, NM, OR. OK & UT). Ms. Welsh received her Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from the University of California at Irvine.
As Principal-In-Charge, Ms. Welsh oversees the design development, makes sure that all project schedules are met on time and that cost-efficient systems are chosen for each project. She performs a hands-on role in the design and performs quality assurance review of all project deliverables. Ms. Welsh is also recognized as an expert in the design of school facilities after specializing in this type of project for over 25 years.
Designing and detailing structural framing systems for new and existing buildings and structures is the principal focus of our practice. We work collaboratively with architects, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, landscape architects, steel fabricators and contractors, to propose, study, and develop structural framing system alternatives for each project. Our integrated approach to developing the optimal structure considers not only material quantities, but also project economic, functional, and aesthetic needs, all at a competitive rate.
By engaging the owner, client, and design team members early in the design process, the appropriate delivery strategy can be determined, saving the owner time and money. We have used many different design delivery strategies and understand which ones suit specific project needs. For Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Integrated Project Delivery or a hybrid, our design professionals can identify the advantages and disadvantages associated with each delivery process and guide the selection of the suitable choice.
WSI is also a certified MBE and WBE Structural engineering firm. We have also been awarded consulting plan checker contracts with both the Division of the State Architect (DSA) Los Angeles and San Diego.
Recently we have completed construction projects for Grossmont USD and Anaheim City Schools and have just finished the permit phase for new buildings at four (4) existing Glendale Unified.
Our firm currently consists of two (2) Licensed Structural Engineers and two CAD/Revit Staff members. WSI is located in Santa Ana, CA so we can easily access our Southern California jobs sites.
