Background |
|
| |
PAUL · KOEHLER ·
BROWN Consulting Structural Engineers, LLC was established in
1997 by David O. Brown, P.E., Clifford R. Paul, P.E. and Jack
M. Koehler, P.E. for the purpose of providing the design and building
industry a creative alternative in structural engineering services.
Our approach is not to stay within the confines of conventional
ideas, but to investigate new ideas on each individual project
while utilizing state-of-the-art proven concepts. We prefer to
be involved in the early design phases, working closely with the
owner, architect, and other consultants to ensure the structure
is cost-effective and meets the needs of all those involved. This
philosophy allows the design team to benefit from our past design
experience and previous creative/progressive solutioneering. |

Quality |
|

The design and construction of
buildings cannot be accomplished without the aid of a structural
engineer. However, the quality and economics of the building can
be determined by which structural engineer designed it. At Paul
· Koehler · Brown, each project is assigned the personal
attention of one of our skilled and highly experienced principals
to ensure project success. Each member of the Paul · Koehler
· Brown staff is committed to excellence and strives to achieve
a high standard of quality by:
• Putting the
Client First
• Communication
• Total Project Commitment
• Follow-through
Quality Control procedures are
implemented for every project to ensure the steady flow of information
is maintained for project success. Continuous project review and
back-checking is performed by the Principal-In-Charge. |
