"A truly luxurious home doesn't just look good — it lasts."

Our Perspective

We Have Only One Competitor:
Mother Nature.

We don't compete with other firms — we compete with the forces of nature itself. Every structure we design is engineered to stand firm against the elements that challenge it most.

The Professional Engineer
Behind Every Plan

Bo Zhang, P.E. — Founder & Principal Engineer

Beamable Engineering was founded by Bo Zhang, a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of California (License No. C 82956). Bo holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Tsinghua University and a master's in Civil Engineering and Construction Management from the University of Texas at Austin, and now designs safe, resilient structures across the Bay Area — from residential remodels and additions to ADUs and new construction.

Licensed since 2014, Bo personally stamps and stands behind every set of drawings the firm produces. Before turning to structural design, he spent more than a decade in the field — as a project engineer at Shimmick Construction and a project manager at Exponent — hands-on experience that shapes how he engineers today: designs that are practical to build, fewer surprises on site, and an engineer who understands what happens when drawings meet the realities of the job. His focus is residential wood-frame design and foundation systems engineered for California's demanding wind and seismic conditions — pairing technical precision with genuine care for each client's home.

What We Do

Structural Engineering
Across Every Phase

From early design to construction completion, we partner with you at every stage of the project lifecycle.

  • Value Engineering — optimize structural systems early to reduce cost without compromising performance or safety.
  • Structural Investigation — assess existing conditions before breaking ground; essential for remodels, additions, and retrofits.
  • Structural Design — permit-ready structural design across every project type we serve:
    • Remodels & Additions — wall removals, new openings, second stories, and more.
    • New Construction — complete structural packages for new residential and light commercial builds.
    • ADUs — accessory dwelling units, from conversions to detached new builds.
    • Commercial TI — structural design for commercial tenant improvements.
  • Special Inspection — code-required special inspections to verify work meets the approved structural drawings and specifications.
  • Onsite Structural Consultation — real-time problem solving and structural guidance when field conditions differ from drawings.
  • Structural Survey — post-construction structural assessment and reporting for peace of mind, insurance, or due diligence.
  • Structural Reports & Letters — stamped engineering reports and letters for permits, real estate transactions, and insurance claims.

FAQ

Common Questions

Most wall removals, load-bearing changes, additions, and structural modifications require a licensed Professional Engineer. We help you determine what's needed early — before permits or contractors are involved.

Simple residential projects (wall removals, beam sizing) typically take around 10 business days. Full structural design packages for new construction or additions range from 3–4 weeks depending on complexity and plan check cycles.

We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area — Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and surrounding areas. Contact us to confirm coverage for your city.

Architects design the look, feel, and layout of buildings. Professional Engineers design the bones — the beams, columns, foundations, and connections that keep buildings safe under gravity, wind, and seismic loads. Many projects need both.

Absolutely. We're happy to work directly with your own contractor or architect — or bring in one of our trusted partners if you don't have one yet. Either way, we coordinate closely with your team and provide RFI responses and field clarifications throughout construction.
