| About Us & Our Mission 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 insurance companies, law firms, construction, utilities, technology and mining industries, governmental and educational institutions, engineering and architectural firms, as well as individuals. With many years of experience in a broad spectrum of projects we are dedicated to service and personal attention. HE&F provides consulting, structural analysis, design & retrofit, peer reviews, research and development, inspections, damage assessment, failure investigations/analysis, and insurance & legal support services. Our design and retrofit 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 forensic investigations 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) provides the needed solutions for 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.
