About us

John S. Apolis, P.E., President of C, offers over 30+ years of experience in Structural Engineering Design for almost every type of construction project. We have provided design many types of structures. Our design costs are often lower because as a smaller firm, we have lower overhead costs. In addition, our turn-around times often are faster, because of the way we organize our work schedule. We typically provide full structural design for additions and remodel projects for 100 or more satisfied architects and homeowners each year, as well as a similar number of smaller "one day" or even "two hour" projects. We try whenever possible to give you what you need, when you need it. No project is too large or too small. If you are looking for a structural design firm which will stand behind their work, and provide you with timely and cost-effective structural design for your remodel, look no further.

Engineer arrived to assess the possibility of determine bearing walls for remodel, we were unable to get into the downstairs ground level apartment. He examined visually indicating that there were NO bearing walls on the ground level floor. Hard to believe. Asked him to return to look at basement as that was part of original agreement. I subsequently asked the engineer to confirm that basement support supported his premise regarding no bearing walls on main level. His response: it will be another $280 for return visit. Unimpressed, disappointed and not happy about his reply. manner

John was able to produce the structural details I needed for my basement remodel from photos and sketches I sent him. His rates were reasonable and his turnaround time was very good. He also provided great phone support and clarification on another structural question I had.

John told me exactly what his schedule would be, provided an invoice which matched the final charge, and met the final completion date per his original estimate. He was flexible in working with me to exchange information on the plan details.
