Olde Town Engineering Company began in 1996 with a client-base that was primarily related to commercial building construction projects. After 2000, we began to experience a steady increase in requests for structural design of local residential projects. Over the years Olde Town Engineering Company has developed standard structural details and design standards for our residential clients.
