Professional Experience:
 

David Reith is the driving force in the expansion of our firm to the Thousand Oaks,
Ventura County area.  While pursuing dedicated business development in structural
design services, David will also provide engineering services for a variety of residential,
commercial and industrial building projects. 

David’s strength of knowledge and practice in providing practical solutions to complicated engineering design projects, coupled with his leadership and management skills, makes him a clear choice for this new endeavor.  

David is experienced in the design of wood, masonry, concrete and steel (structural shapes and light gauge).  Services David will provide include meeting and corresponding with clients throughout the life of the project, from the critical design development stage through to the construction phase. 

Architects are assisted with the selection of structural systems during the project’s design development stage.  And David meets with builders to review structural design intent and discuss critical systems. 

A significant project stage is structural plan check with the governing jurisdiction’s code compliance department.  David provides interaction with the structural plan check personnel regarding project compliance with the local jurisdiction’s structural code requirements.
