Meet Sean Buchner, P.E.

4/29/2025

Hello, I’m Sean Buchner, founder and principal engineer at Buchner Engineering, a top residential structural engineering firm based in Southampton, NY. With years of experience working throughout the Hamptons and the East End, I specialize in residential structural engineering and mechanical HVAC system design coordinated with structural framing.

My team and I have completed a wide range of projects — from small renovations to 20,000 square foot new construction and historic home restorations. We focus on delivering high-quality, code-compliant designs for luxury residential homes in the Hamptons.

I started Buchner Engineering to provide an elevated project experience for architects, builders, and homeowners. Our goal is to simplify complex structural challenges while ensuring every home is safe, durable, and built to last.

To support the local design and construction community, I’m creating a video series that explains important structural design considerations. These videos offer valuable insights for architects and builders, helping them understand the intent behind key structural elements.

Whether you are planning a new home or a renovation, these easy-to-follow videos will guide you through critical aspects of residential structural engineering.
