MCE offers a wide range of civil and structural engineering services, along with architectural design. We provide comprehensive services for both residential and commercial projects, including remodels, additions, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), as well as tenant improvements, soft-story and seismic retrofits.

Whether you're planning a small-scale renovation, like updating your kitchen or bathroom, removing a bearing wall for an open layout, adding more habitable space to your property, or even converting non-habitable spaces, our team is ready to assist you.

While based in San Francisco, our services extend throughout the Bay Area, including San Jose, Oakland, Marin County and San Mateo County (Atherton, Belmont, Brisbane, Burlingame, Colma, Daly City, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacifica, Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Bruno, San Carlos, San Mateo, South San Francisco, Woodside).

Our process starts with an initial discussion with one of our team members. This is followed by a site visit to assess the existing conditions. Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we can provide you with an estimate or a proposal. Once there is an agreement in place, we will schedule a time for an on-site visit to take measurements, if as-built drawings are not available. Our team then develops client-proposed designs, tailoring them based on your feedback. It's important to note that each project is unique, and therefore, the process may vary accordingly. Additionally, we offer assistance with the permit submission process and provide construction administration services upon request.

Project completion times vary depending on the scope of work, ranging from weeks to months. For specifics on permit submission and approval times, contacting your local building department is advisable​​.

Absolutely, we actively participate in the construction process. We are available to answer your contractors' questions to ensure your project progresses smoothly. Our involvement spans from the design phase through to construction.

At MCE, we believe every property and project is unique. Our design process is tailored to meet the individual needs and wants of our clients, complying with the latest codes and regulations. Each project is assigned a dedicated designer and engineer, ensuring a personalized and effective design that fits your lifestyle, vision, and budget​​.

For special inspections, please contact your local building department for a list of approved special inspection agencies. We can assist in coordinating these inspections as part of our comprehensive service offering​​.
