Company

City Structural, Inc. was founded in 2014 to serve the seismic retrofit of multi-unit residential buildings in San Francisco. We now serve soft-story retrofit and residential renovation throughout the Bay Area. We enrich the aesthetic and functionality of built environment to enhance the lives of others. We design, we create, and we build.



City Culture


Our values include:


Organization. Structural Engineering is first and foremost an organizational challenge. Our design workflow is an encyclopedic aggregation of building standards, best practices, design options, and building products, built in templates with overarching conventions for typography, annotation, and layout. We leverage this system to optimize our efficiency at the industry forefront. This necessitates a methodical rigor that we extend beyond our design process and into our culture and operation through research and adoption of the foremost business frameworks.


Focus. There are 168 hours in a week. The 40 that we spend engaged as City Structural, Inc. are focused, deliberate sessions in which we work with intelligence and effort. We begin workdays with uninterrupted, distraction-less blocks of time during which we efficiently complete our predetermined tasks. We then meet to collaborate, create, and deliver the best products and services to our target markets. We curate our work environments and work arrangements to preserve our focus and honor our time.

Resourcefulness. Together we research and develop our culture and operations. We're in a perpetual state of building throughout our organization. There's no set way to do anything because we invent as we go. We create new things and new ways of doing things that don't exist, so there's no market, no competition, and no instructions to follow. Each of us is extremely resourceful, which lets us execute at the highest level as a team.

Communication. We work together in a meritocracy of thought where each team member's input and opinion is valued. Together we present and debate the data and ideas. Together we decide on our best course of action. And together we implement our decision with conviction and resolve. Rigorous and thoughtful inquiry promotes meaningful work, meaningful relationships, and the satisfaction of being our authentic selves.


Exploration. Our north star is our spirit of curiosity toward innovation, technology, and business. This guides our efforts across long time horizons. We explore what's out there, and we build around what works for us.
