Mid-Rise New Construction

Structural Solutions
for 5 to 15-Story Buildings

Our structures team provides structural engineering services tailored to mid-rise new construction projects, with a focus on buildings from 5 to 15 stories. Serving clients nationwide in the mixed-use and commercial sectors, our expertise helps each project benefit from deep technical knowledge, practical solutions, and innovative approaches. Our services range from full structural design and load analysis to facade and building envelope engineering, supporting smooth execution throughout the project.

Sustainable + Resilient Mid-Rise Structural Engineering

Key aspects of mid-rise structural engineering include code compliance, optimized structural systems for safety and efficiency, and sustainable design strategies that support energy performance and reduced environmental impact. Our holistic approach helps ensure each mid-rise structure is engineered for durability, performance, and long-term resilience while remaining cost-effective and visually cohesive. KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, is dedicated to delivering strong, creative solutions that support our clients’ mid-rise development goals nationwide.

Comprehensive Engineering Services, From Schematic Design to Facade

Mid-Rise Building
Structural Engineering Services

We work closely with architects, developers, owners, and project teams to align structural systems with design intent, building layouts, development goals, code requirements, constructability, and construction documentation. From early planning through construction-phase support, our structural engineers help keep mid-rise projects coordinated, efficient, and buildable.

Structural System Selection

Helping project teams evaluate steel, concrete, masonry, mass timber, light gage metal framing, podium, and other structural systems based on project goals, budget, schedule, and constructability.

Foundation + Substructure Design

Supporting foundation design, below-grade construction, retaining systems, geotechnical coordination, and site-specific constraints that can impact mid-rise buildings.

Lateral + Wind Design

Designing structural systems to address wind, seismic, drift, stability, and lateral load requirements for mid-rise buildings.

Loading Analysis + Structural Coordination

Evaluating gravity loads, live loads, equipment loads, facade loads, acoustic isolation needs, amenity spaces, parking levels, and mixed-use program requirements to help align structural design with building layout, performance goals, and end use.

Facade + Building Envelope Coordination

Coordinating structural support for cladding, glazing, curtain wall, metal panels, balconies, canopies, and other exterior building systems.

Construction Documents + Construction Support

Preparing structural drawings and supporting RFIs, field conditions, design coordination, construction sequencing, and project delivery.

Nationwide

Mid-Rise New Construction
Experience

From mixed-use and multifamily developments to office buildings, parking garages, senior care residences, cultural facilities, and waterfront communities, our mid-rise structural engineering experience supports a wide range of new construction projects. Our work helps clients balance structural efficiency, code compliance, constructability, cost, schedule, and long-term building performance.
