Residential/Affordable Housing/Mixed Use:

FAIRWAYS AT SAN ANTONIO COURT, (Office of Jerome King, AIA, Affirmed Housing Group), San Jose, CA: 91,000 square foot, three story wood framed building over 120 ft X 420 ft post tensioned concrete podium structure.

Value Added: Foundations: VerTech Engineering worked at the beginning of the design development phase with the Architect and Geotechnical Engineer in order to justify a limit to soil remediation and extra stiff foundation requirements. The result was a much thinner mat slab and a reduction in the amount of reinforcing in the podium slab netting a savings to the owner.

Construction Administration: The project came under intense review by the building department with an unexpected -secondary plan check during construction after substantial completion of the primary framing. A team of eleven engineers from the building jurisdiction made a thorough review of the as-built conditions indicating that many conditions would need to be corrected to meet newly adopted requirements costing the owner both time and materials in order to meet the new demands. VerTech Engineering immediately responded to the inquisition meeting every query with substantial evidence of acceptability, and defending the as-built conditions with additional design documentation to secure the clients interests.
