  • “It is my pleasure to recommend Powell Engineering for all your structural design needs. Kelsey’s company has proven to be very thorough and thoughtful with their work and super easy to communicate with. As an architect, I know that my design package is only as strong as the members of the project team, and my team became much improved as soon as I started working with Powell Engineering. I feel confident in giving them this recommendation for any of your structural design needs now and into the future. They are continually growing and their experience is proven, and I encourage you to let them demonstrate that to you.”

Kelsey and Dave have been helping with the engineering on our houses plans over the past few years. They are quick to respond and knowledgeable about the ever changing building industry.
