Special Projects

We’re interested in all kinds of unique projects and unusual structural engineering challenges.

Although we’re residential specialists, our expertise extends far beyond the residential sector. If you have a unique project, or one with unusually challenging structural needs, we invite you to contact us. We’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities.

Here are a few examples of other areas of GFDS’ interest and expertise:
