Catena Consulting Engineers

Catena Consulting Engineers is a structural engineering firm that focuses on creating connections: connections between our work and the greater good, connections with our clients and their clients, and connections within our team. Since our founding in 2005, we have grown due to the long-standing relationships we have built with our clients, which are reinforced by the strong connections within our team.

At Catena Consulting Engineers, we pride ourselves on our talented, experienced, creative, and committed structural engineers. We believe in providing structural solutions that are constructible and delivered in a timely manner. We understand the construction world revolves around schedules, not just engineers. Our team is committed to helping our clients achieve their goals by delivering high-quality structural engineering services.

Our firm was formed by three partners with a long-standing connection with each other. Since then, we have grown due to our long-standing relationships with our clients. We believe that these connections enable our team to work on incredible projects while having a lot of fun. Our clients appreciate our ability to understand the project from not only a structural engineer's viewpoint but also that of the end-users. This creates value beyond what they generally experience in consultants.
