Structural Engineer in Texas: PE Stamped Drawings for Houston, Dallas, Austin & San Antonio

Texas is a big, fast-growing market — and building departments across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio each have their own local amendments and permit requirements layered on top of the state code. NEC Solutions LLC holds a Texas PE license issued by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers (TBPE) and provides structural engineering services in Texas for property owners, solar installers, contractors, and developers statewide.

Our Texas services are delivered remotely — drawings, letters, and calculations sent by email — so you can be anywhere in Texas and still get PE-stamped work within 5–7 business days. On-site visits are available in the DFW and Houston areas.

PE Stamped Drawings for Texas Permits

Texas has adopted the IBC with state amendments, but many Texas cities — Houston, Dallas, Austin — have their own local amendments and specific requirements for permit submissions. Our structural drawings are sealed by a TBPE-licensed PE and are accepted by the City of Houston, City of Dallas, City of Austin, Harris County, and building departments statewide.

Residential Structural Engineering

We provide engineering for home additions, room expansions, load bearing wall removal, deck and patio covers, foundation analysis, and structural modifications across the Houston metro, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio areas — all PE-sealed per Texas Building Code.

Commercial Structural Engineering

Tenant improvements, warehouse mezzanines, commercial additions, and structural modifications for Texas businesses. We work with Houston and Dallas contractors, architects, and developers on projects of all sizes.

Wind Load & Hurricane Engineering

Texas has significant wind exposure, particularly along the Gulf Coast. Houston-area and coastal projects require design per ASCE 7 wind provisions for the applicable wind zone, including hurricane-force wind loads — this is a major difference from wind design in our other service states and something we account for specifically on Gulf Coast projects.

Solar Structural Engineering in Texas

We provide solar structural letters and roof load analysis for residential and commercial solar installations across Texas, with a typical 3–5 business day turnaround for solar structural letters.

Retaining Walls & Site Work in Texas

Texas properties — particularly in the Hill Country around Austin and San Antonio — often need retaining wall design as part of site development. Our guide to retaining wall engineering covers the general principles (wall types, footing design, drainage) that apply across all four states we serve, including Texas.
