Structural Engineering for New and Existing Buildings
Anax Engineering, Inc. provides structural engineering services for commercial, multifamily, mixed-use, retail, industrial, warehouse, medical and institutional buildings throughout the Chicago area and beyond.
We work with architects, developers, contractors and building owners on new construction, renovations, additions, adaptive reuse, structural repairs and complex existing-building conditions. Our approach combines technical expertise with practical engineering judgment, responsive communication and principal-led involvement throughout the project.
Structural Engineering Across the Building Life Cycle
Our work spans ground-up building design, renovations, adaptive reuse, structural repairs and specialized existing-building services. We also provide excavation and earth retention design, critical façade examinations, structural peer review and forensic engineering services.
New Construction — Multifamily, commercial, retail, industrial, warehouse, medical and institutional buildings.
