Buchner Engineering prides itself on offering a seamless, high-level project experience — from collaborating with architects during the planning and design phase to providing expert consulting for contractors throughout construction, ensuring your vision comes to life.
The firm’s principal, Sean Buchner, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having grown up on job sites as a laborer before transitioning into a seasoned designer. Over the years, he has honed his skills working on a wide range of high-end residential projects, including new builds and major historic renovations, with homes ranging from 4,000 to 20,000 square feet.
We know that engineered plans are just part of the equation. What sets us apart is our commitment to supporting architects and builders. Our ongoing collaboration during the design phase is essential for effective planning, and our prompt responses to contractor inquiries ensure that projects stay on track and are built to the highest standards.
We leverage cutting-edge software to create designs that align with unique architectural forms. Our approach ensures that both the architectural vision and practical constructability are integrated, resulting in designs that are both digitally feasible and physically buildable.
We place a strong emphasis on attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the project is thoroughly considered and accurately reflected in the design documents. This precision enhances both the design quality and the overall success of the construction process, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to completion.
