Our Services
Many consulting firms in the building industry have evolved into large, multi-discipline organizations offering services from "soup to nuts", but few are able to maintain high levels of quality, expertise within each specialty. At The SK&A Group, structural engineering is our core and each of the services that we offer stems from this base.
Our firm specializes in the structural analysis and design of new architectural structures from small to large, structural renovations including historic structures, and major building expansions in urban environments. Locally, nationally, and internationally, our firm has engineered many award-winning facilities, such as commercial, residential, retail, healthcare, academic, government, and institutional projects. We are proud of our reputation for professionalism, technical expertise, and resources and our sensitivity towards the needs of our clients as well as meeting each project's architectural goals.
Structural Design
Our Design Division delivers sound, innovative and economical design solutions through a collaborative, team approach—working closely with the Architect, MEP consultants, owner’s representatives and construction team to explore the most appropriate options. Our use of well-qualified and accessible personnel, appropriate staffing, sophisticated tools and technologies are integral to our proven track record of client satisfaction and project success.

Located in our Potomac, Maryland office, our Repair & Restoration team aids clients in developing and executing the most cost-effective strategies to meet their structural repair, restoration and/or maintenance goals by balancing several key factors such as initial repair and/or preventive maintenance costs, anticipated service life, and public safety.
