Services in Glendale
Glendale's hillside homes and established neighborhoods create demand for structural engineering on additions, ADUs, and seismic upgrades. Affinity provides PE-stamped drawings tailored to Glendale's building department. For Glendale projects requiring more than structural, Affinity provides complete coordinated plan sets covering architecture, structural engineering, and MEP under one PE's oversight.
ADU & garage conversion
PE-stamped plans for Glendale ADU projects including hillside lot considerations. From $1,200.
Glendale's hillside areas (Verdugo Woodlands, Rossmoyne) have slope-specific building requirements. The city's building department requires specific geotechnical coordination for hillside projects and applies additional setback and grading review.
Room additions & remodels
Structural design for additions on Glendale's hillside and flatland properties. From $2,500.
Glendale hillside additions (Verdugo Woodlands, Rossmoyne) require geotechnical coordination and slope stability analysis per city hillside standards.
Load-bearing wall removal
Beam sizing and PE-stamped plans for opening up Glendale home floor plans. From $1,200.
Glendale hillside split-level homes may have complex load paths. Wall removal requires careful analysis of multi-level gravity and lateral force transfer.
Inspections & PE letters
PE-stamped letters for Glendale property transactions and hillside assessments. From $400.
Glendale hillside inspection letters include slope creep evaluation, retaining wall assessment, and drainage adequacy in addition to standard structural review.
Commercial & TI
Structural engineering for Glendale commercial TI, restaurant conversions, and mixed-use projects.
Glendale's Brand Blvd corridor has active commercial TI. Older URM and concrete buildings may require seismic evaluation before TI.
Seismic retrofit
Foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and soft-story retrofit for Glendale residential and multi-family. From $2,500.
Glendale has mandatory soft-story retrofit requirements for qualifying multi-family buildings. Hillside homes may need combined slope stability and seismic assessment.
Complete Plan Sets
Architecture, structural engineering, and MEP coordinated under one PE's oversight. One engagement, one set of drawings, one point of contact. No separate consultants to manage.
Architectural design — floor plans, elevations, sections, PE-stamped structural calculations and drawings, MEP engineering — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, All disciplines coordinated before submission, Plan check corrections + construction support
Three phases. Full PE oversight. Zero surprises.
From the first call to the final inspection, every project is led by a licensed PE with direct access throughout.
