Practical engineering
for a complex world.
FDR Engineers is a full-service structural engineering firm and the industry's most trusted team for cold-formed steel design, BIM and panelization — licensed in 47 states, with offices in North Carolina, Texas and Arizona.
Off-site construction
is the future.
We engineer it.
FDR offers comprehensive engineering for prefabricated light gauge steel load-bearing and exterior curtain wall projects, plus advanced BIM modeling and panel fabrication drawings — for both back-up framed panels and fully-finished framed panels.
- Engineered shop drawings sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer
- Full structural calculation packages for every panel condition
- 3D BIM models with plan layouts and individual panel drawings
- Material take-offs in Excel for all framing and connectors
- Cloud-based 3D collaboration — review from any device, updated instantly
Six ways we
solve structure.
Structural Engineering
Full-service structural design for foundations, concrete, structural steel, wood, and light gauge framing — inception to completion.
Cold-Formed Steel Engineering
Comprehensive engineering for light gauge steel framing — shop drawings, calculations, and BIM packages sealed by a licensed PE.
BIM & Panelization
Advanced BIM modeling, panel fabrication drawings, and cloud-based 3D collaboration for prefabricated wall systems.
Exterior Cladding Design
Engineering for architectural exterior claddings, field-installed wall systems, and the attachments that carry them.
Blast and Progressive Collapse
ATFP and blast design, progressive collapse analysis, and non-linear finite element work for federal and military projects.
Truss & Bracing Engineering
Cold-formed steel roof truss and lateral bracing systems, engineered and sealed for the jurisdiction.
Built, panelized,
and standing.
Licensed in
47 states.
Our principals hold Professional Engineer licenses across 47 states, with five offices in North Carolina, Texas and Arizona. Wherever the project is, we can seal it.
