How Apex Grid Handles This

Apex Grid Engineering is licensed in 49 states — every U.S. state except Alaska. Engineering stamping and licensure are confirmed for each project jurisdiction. We engineer structural engineering scopes as a standalone service or as part of a coordinated structural, MEP, civil, and geotechnical package.

We work from architectural PDFs, contractor sketches, or existing CAD files and produce stamped engineering documents, permit drawings, and calculations that building departments accept the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this engineering scope cover?

This scope covers freestanding canopy structural frame design, foundation design for canopy column loads, wind uplift design for canopy roof systems, and seismic design for parking canopy structures.

When is this engineering needed?

Parking canopies — whether shade structures, EV charging canopies, or solar carports — need structural engineering that accounts for wind, gravity, and seismic loads on freestanding canopy structures over occupied parking areas.

What does Apex Grid deliver for this scope?

Stamped engineering documents, permit drawings, and calculations. We work from architectural PDFs, contractor sketches, or existing CAD files. We engineer structural engineering scopes as a standalone service or as part of a coordinated structural, MEP, civil, and geotechnical package.
