Structure1
PSE Consulting Engineers, Inc., which publishes the structure1.com site, is a structural engineering firm headquartered in Klamath Falls, Oregon. It designs and stamps structures for commercial, residential and industrial clients, and lists self-storage among the commercial building types it covers alongside warehouses, canopies, shipping container structures, HUD manufactured homes, pole buildings and churches.
The firm sells four defined tiers of work. Structural Design Standard covers vertical and lateral load analysis and design to code, framing and foundation plans to scale and typical structural details. Structural Design Plus adds the architect's own sections so more details are drawn to scale. Lateral Load Analysis Only leaves vertical design with the client. Economy Services, aimed at architects and home designers, reviews and marks up framing plans and supplies lateral design. Additions, seismic strengthening, structural assessment, failure and forensic investigation and construction inspection are handled separately.
The company was formed in 1998 under the name Precision Structural Engineering. It is licensed in all 50 states and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, and states a 96% positive client satisfaction rating. Offices are in Klamath Falls and Medford, Oregon and in Jacksonville, Florida.
The site presents general structural engineering across many building types rather than a self-storage specialty, and it does not describe architecture-of-record services. Scope, fee basis and the engineer of record for the specific state should be confirmed directly.

Common questions
- What does a structural engineer do on a building project?
- A structural engineer designs and analyses the structural integrity and stability of a building, calculating the lateral and vertical loads it will face, such as wind, snow or seismic activity, and choosing materials, designs and construction methods that resist those loads within budget. The engineer's stamp is required before construction can begin.
- Do architectural plans already include structural design?
- Usually not. PSE states that the majority of architectural plans do not come construction-ready, so a structural engineer must be consulted for plan review and may modify the plans as necessary. The firm will consult on a single aspect of a project or take on the entire scope.
