Twenty eight years of experience working closely with architectural design

teams on building projects of various sizes and types have given Charles a

firm understanding of the role that the structural design consultant must play

as a member of the design team. Having fully managed projects ranging in

size from small commercial and residential buildings to large institutional

complexes, Charles knows the unique challenges presented by each type

of project and the techniques involved in producing an efficient solution for

the client.

Charles’ excellence in engineering continues at WZG and as evidenced by

his ability to produce clear, concise, and technologically superior

documents for each of his projects. His ability to use his knowledge of

structural principles in conjunction with his appreciation for maintaining the

integrity of the architectural design enables him to effectively produce well-

integrated solutions to complex problems.

Technical Capabilities

WZG was founded on the belief that by using the most advanced

computer software available, more could be produced with less.

Through the use of this software, WZG is able to perform multiple

analyses in the same amount of time used to perform a single

analysis using conventional software, allowing WZG to place more

emphasis on producing economical, constructible systems.

Software that models the entire structural frame also communicates

with AutoCAD and Revit Structure allowing WZG to develop floor

framing plans, column schedules and beam schedules rapidly.

Spending less time on the development of plans and schedules

allows WZG to concentrate on the development of details and

provides more time for coordination with other disciplines.

Additionally this software can quickly summarize weights and

quantities of materials giving WZG the opportunity to rapidly

evaluate the efficiency of several framing schemes as well as

evaluate cost implications to design changes. Optimization of

framing systems is easy to accomplish leading to structural systems

that are economical yet safe and serviceable.

Building Information Modeling

WZG has entered into the world of Build-

ing Information Modeling (BIM). This

revolutionary method of developing

structural engineering drawings brings

the opportunity to coordinate structural

framing with architectural and me-

chanical systems to a new level. WZG

uses the BIM software developed by

Autodesk, Revit Structure. Revit Struc-

ture also integrates with the analysis

and design software currently used by

WZG to seamlessly produce optimized

framing plans.
