Structural Engineering Solutions
for Builders, Architects & Developers
Founded in the heart of Orange County, Worx Engineering brings a refined yet hands-on approach to structural engineering. Serving clients across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino, we support builders, architects, and developers throughout Southern California with structural solutions that balance technical rigor and real-world construction insight. As a boutique firm led by an engineer with over 20 years of experience, every project benefits from expert oversight and a deep understanding of local codes and permitting processes.
01
Expert-Led Structural Design
With deep technical expertise and real-world construction understanding, we deliver engineering solutions that are both structurally sound and buildable. Whether you’re working on a custom ADU, a seismic retrofit, or a multi-unit development, our designs are tailored to pass plan check quickly and perform reliably on-site.
02
Tailored, Code-Compliant Engineering
We approach each project with a technical understanding of site conditions, material behavior, and load requirements. Our structural systems are designed to comply with the latest California Building Code (CBC), City standards, and applicable seismic provisions. Whether designing for new construction, additions, or retrofits, we provide precise calculations and clear structural drawings that streamline plan check and reduce RFIs during construction.
03
A True Partner in Construction
We work side-by-side with general contractors, developers, and architects to keep every project aligned from concept to final inspection. That means clear communication, responsive support, and engineering that adapts to your schedule. Whether you’re in pre-construction or deep into a build, we’re the structural partner you can rely on.
