Consultants & Contractors

Look up at the ceiling. We live our lives inside giant structures, rarely considering the invisible forces—gravity, wind—constantly trying to pull them down. The professional who wins that fight every day, ensuring the roof stays over your head, is the structural engineer.

Their primary role is to manage these powerful forces. These core structural engineer roles and responsibilities involve calculating the effects of a building’s own weight, the people inside it, and even potential earthquakes. This guarantees a structure is safe for use without a second thought.

We connected with Scott Orlowski, president of Apex Engineering located in Rochester, MA through a mutual contact. The general contractor recommended Scott for structural engineering and we were impressed after our initial meeting.

Scott has opened his firm over 5 years ago during the economic downturn and still managed to keep the work flowing to support the growth of the company.

We have dealt with Dan Washburn from Washburn Construction on our Featured Residential project in East Freetown, MA. As well as a long-time friend, Dan has the industry experience and quality of craftsmanship that you really look for in a good general contractor.

Make no mistake about it, one of the most important aspects to any new construction or remodel is who you select for your contractor. You should never base your selection off price alone. As the old saying goings “you get what you pay for”
