Tipping is a service-forward structural engineering practice that unlocks greater possibilities for our clients and communities. Our unconventional approach blends creativity with technical mastery to push the boundaries of engineering. By focusing on project goals before calculations, boldly asking the difficult questions, and leveraging our deep understanding of structural behavior, we turn vision into reality, often in unexpected ways.

Our staff of 39 professionals seeks to practice at the forefront of our profession, introducing innovative approaches, advanced tools, and new research to create engineering solutions that enhance building performance and provide lasting value.

Our ability to integrate the cost and constructability feedback early in the design process is critical to delivering a successful project. By employing the tools and expertise that we have accumulated over forty years of practice to their greatest effect, we aim to help the entire team achieve all of the project goals: a fully responsive and integrated building delivered on time and within the budget.
