Construction Engineering
Lund Opsahl is well-recognized in the PNW as a leader in means and methods engineering. Our collaborative approach to construction challenges, as well as our focus on constructability and risk management have led to deep relationships with owners, builders, and subcontractors who seek safe, timely solutions to their construction challenges. Our experience developing effective solutions directly for contractors has honed our approach to construction engineering in an environment where there is very little room for multiple iterations.
Our Approach
Minimizing Disruption
Successfully navigating risk is a hallmark of a successful contractor. We help identify risks that can be mitigated through thoughtful problem solving. We bring a sharp eye for early challenges, a deep familiarity with risk/opportunity matrices, and a commitment to active listening and engagement.
Focused on Constructability
From standard load reviews to complex crane logistics and erection sequencing, we combine active listening, collaboration, and deep experience to deliver clear, buildable solutions that simplify complex projects.
Out-of-the-Box Thinking
Soometimes the challenges a builder faces are more complex than the design itself, requiring creative, out-of-the-box solutions. This kind of problem-solving is what makes us a preferred designer for builders across our region
FEATURED PROJECT
Centre 425
For this 16-story tower with 8 levels of below-grade parking, restricted access ruled out tiebacks—so the builder turned to top-down construction. To keep things moving, Lund Opsahl engineered a temporary steel-framed street-level deck that doubled as a laydown area while suspending slab formwork below with threaded rods—a creative solution to a tight site.
