About Us

CSES is a small Structural Engineering Firm specializing in both new and remodel Residential Construction Projects and in small to medium Commercial Building Projects.  We pay special attention to the economy of such projects, especially with regard to providing an Engineered Design that is sensitive to construction costs.  We give you what you need, when you need it.  No construction or building project is too large or too small for CSES.  If you are looking for a structural engineering firm which will stand behind their work and provide you with a timely and cost-effective structural design for your building project, look no further.

Our Emphasis is on Optimizing Structural Design to Control Construction Cost

Mr. Apolis either designs or closely monitors all of our structural engineering projects.  Larger engineering firms will often assign smaller projects to a junior engineer, which may result in an uneconomical design.  Our design costs are often lower because as a smaller engineering firm, we have much lower overhead costs.  In addition, our turn-around times often are much faster because of the way we optimize our engineering work schedule.
