Typical small-commercial triggers

- Mezzanines, equipment platforms and racking over height thresholds
- A building department requiring an engineer of record on the TI

Pricing, honestly
What actually drives the price
No two projects price the same — these are the factors our engineers scope. You get one fixed number after a free review, not an hourly meter.
Building type
Wood, steel, CMU and tilt-up each carry different analysis and detailing.
Existing documentation
Original drawings speed everything up; missing ones mean field data and conservative assumptions.
Scope of modification
One RTU and a full TI with new openings are different packages.
Jurisdiction and occupancy
Commercial plan check is stricter; the set is prepared accordingly.
The risk is on us: free scope review, fixed price, and no commitment until you accept.

Why JAT
Built like software, reviewed like a firm.
The engineering is the same discipline you'd expect from any licensed structural firm. The way you order it, track it and receive it is not.

| Documents & revisions | PDF attachments scattered across inboxes | Versioned drawings, calcs and permit comments that stay with the project |
| Plan-check corrections | A new conversation and often a new invoice | Submitted back through the same project — rounds included per proposal |
| Repeat projects | Start from scratch every time | Duplicate a past project or use a template — under two minutes |
| Paying | Paper invoices and checks | Card or ACH online; deposit to start, balance before final release |
Before you ask
Can you act as engineer of record for a TI?+
Yes, for the structural scope of small commercial projects. The licensed engineer responsible for the work reviews and approves every deliverable, and documents are signed and sealed where required.
We don't have the original building drawings.+
Common. Photos, measurements and (when available) city microfilm records usually cover it; the scope review will tell you exactly what's needed before you commit.
How is commercial priced?+
Fixed-price per defined scope after a free review — the same process as our residential work, sized for commercial plan check.
Tenant Improvements & Small Commercial — Engineered Without the Big-Firm Overhead.
A few quick questions, a free scope review, and a fixed-price quote — usually within one business day.
No commitment required to submit a project for review.
