December 2025 - Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays from the Whole House Engineering team! 🎄 We kicked off the season with a team lunch and our first annual Secret Santa gift exchange. A great day with an even better team.
October 2025 - BIM Services
We recently helped an architectural client 🏗️ who was spending countless hours ⏳ on repetitive tasks like inputting grid lines and dimensioning buildings. With our custom scripts ⚡, those time-draining steps became one-click actions — saving hours every week ✅ and freeing them to focus on design 🎨 instead of data entry.
Do you have repetitive tasks eating into your day? 🤔 Our BIM services and custom scripting can automate your workflow, cut errors, and give you back your time ⏱️.

March 2025 - Structural Inspections
At Whole House Engineering, we take pride in delivering high-quality structural inspections to ensure the integrity and safety of every building we assess. Our expertise goes beyond standard inspections—we specialize in wood truss modifications, including adjusting ceiling conditions to add vaults, coffers, or other architectural features into existing trusses.
We don’t just inspect from a distance—we get hands-on. That means climbing into attics, taking measurements, and thoroughly evaluating trusses. Our team provides engineering solutions to modify trusses safely, ensuring your design vision is structurally sound.
Our Specialties:
1. Wood truss modifications – Adding vaults, coffers, and structural adjustments
2. Thorough structural inspections – Hands-on evaluations of roof & floor trusses
3. Comprehensive repair recommendations – Creative solutions that keep projects on track
4. Engineering letters – Signed and sealed reports for permitting and compliance
5. Structural repairs & renovations – Ensuring modified structures meet today’s standards
From new construction to renovations and unexpected structural challenges, we provide the expertise needed to modify, reinforce, and restore trusses with precision.
