About /
The engineers who get design.
VB&S sits at the artful end of structural engineering.
We’re trusted by architects who are pushing boundaries—because we don’t push back. Instead, we lean in, think hard, and find a way.
We’re known for saying “yes, let’s figure it out” when others say it can’t be done. It’s why design-driven firms call us first when the structure needs to be elegant, efficient, and just as considered as the architecture around it.
We balance creative problem-solving with technical precision. Every detail is thought through, every solution grounded in experience. And our engineers stay directly involved from day one to final site visit, making sure that vision and reality stay in sync.
We don’t just make things stand up. We make them work—beautifully.
Call us when the design needs room to breathe
VB&S specializes in projects where structure and design are inseparable. The buildings we help bring to life aren’t simple—and that’s the point.
Architects come to us with ambitious forms and impossible spans. Developers trust us to keep it all buildable, efficient, and on budget. Our job is to bring clarity to the challenge—and to make the structure support the architecture, not fight it.
Our Difference:
Architectural fluency.
We speak the language of architects. Our team works hand-in-hand with architects to protect the creative intent while making it all constructible.
Hands-on and human.
We’re responsive, approachable, and genuinely easy and fun to work with. We believe a great working relationship is just as important as a great structural solution.
Engineer-led, start to finish.
No layers. No handoffs. Our engineers lead your project every step of the way—from drawings to site.
Curious minds.
Calm confidence. We approach every project with curiosity and composure, knowing that if it can be done, we’ll find a way.
Reliable.
Accessible.
Responsive.
Enthusiastic. Superb client service. Just some of the words our clients – many of whom have worked with us on multiple projects – use to describe us. We respond promptly to client and contractor inquiries and address on-site construction issues immediately to keep projects on schedule.
Drawings are our artwork.
Our meticulously detailed drawings and cost-effective designs are grounded in a deep understanding of structural systems and a commitment to trusting the numbers.
Yes, we assess complex structures and details and create designs and structures that are realistic and simpler to build. But what truly sets us apart is that we view our designs and drawings as artwork. Art that captures your project with elegance and communicates it with an added layer of economically-efficient ingenuity.
Our meticulously detailed drawings and cost-effective designs are grounded in a deep understanding of structural systems and a commitment to trusting the numbers. We also understand construction—how things actually get built—and we respect that every contractor has their own preferred methods. This practical, informed approach ensures safety without over-engineering and delivers value through solutions that reduce costs and minimize issues on site.
