| About Us Habitat Engineering & Forensics (HE&F) is a consulting engineering firm with offices in Oakland and Fremont, California (San Francisco Bay Area). We provide a broad range of services in structural, civil and geotechnical engineering to architectural firms, property owners, other engineering firms and individuals, construction, utilities, technology and mining industries, governmental and educational institutions, insurance companies and law firms. With many years of experience in a broad spectrum of projects we are dedicated to service and personal attention to client needs. HE&F provides engineering & construction consulting, structural analysis, Design & Retrofit, peer reviews, research and development, inspections, Damage Investigations, Failure Analysis, and Insurance & Legal Support services. Our design and remediation projects benefit from our forensic experience in avoiding potential "hidden" pitfalls not commonly addressed in codes of practice. Likewise, our design and construction management experience keep our damage assessments practical, abreast of latest developments in codes and specifications, construction practices and standards of care. We believe this interaction benefits our clients and bridges the gap between theory and practice. Our experience ranges from new single-family buildings and additions to large mixed-use residential-commercial, industrial and institutional projects. We have special expertise and design experience using ecologically friendly construction materials such as adobe. Our advanced analysis capabilities (linear & nonlinear, dynamic, seismic, finite-element stress analysis, fracture and plasticity) provide accurate solutions in challenging projects. HE&F prides itself in providing cost-effective and timely consulting & solutions to engineering and construction problems. Our multi-disciplinary capabilities and approach provide "one- stop-shop" efficiency and convenience to our clients. Our affiliated company “Habitat Construction” (www.HabitatConstruction.com) also provides construction and construction management services.
