Project Overview
The Vintage Ranch project represents a comprehensive residential development featuring 41 lots with 5 distinct single-family residence types. This project followed as strict design and construction schedule.
Structural Challenges
- Designing flexible structural systems to accommodate 5 different residence layouts
- Optimizing foundation designs for varying soil conditions across the 41 lots
- Ensuring seismic compliance for all residence types in accordance with California building codes
- Coordinating with architectural teams to maintain design intent while meeting structural requirements
Engineering Solutions
- Developed standardized foundation systems adaptable to different soil conditions
- Created modular structural framing approaches for efficient construction
- Implemented advanced seismic design strategies including proper shear wall distribution
- Utilized Building Information Modeling (BIM) for enhanced coordination and clash detection
Key Deliverables
- Structural drawings for 5 residence types
- Foundation plans and details for all 41 lots
- Seismic design calculations and lateral force analysis
- Construction administration support throughout the build process
