New Construction & Building Design
At Murphy Burr Curry, Inc. (MBC), we specialize in delivering comprehensive structural engineering services for new construction projects, offering support from the earliest stages of planning and feasibility studies through to construction administration.
Whether acting as a core member of an architectural design team or partnering directly with general contractors and fabricators, we tailor our services to meet the specific demands of each project. Our integrated approach—particularly in design-build environments—helps streamline workflows, optimize constructability, and maximize overall value.
Our portfolio reflects a broad range of project types, with a strong emphasis on multi-family housing (including factory-built modular and site-built affordable units), educational facilities (public, private, and university-level), and retail environments ranging from department stores to luxury flagship boutiques. In each of these sectors, we combine technical precision with practical design to provide cost-effective solutions that support both our clients’ aesthetic goals and long-term performance needs. Every project begins with a deep understanding of our client’s objectives, allowing us to design structural systems that balance innovation, functionality, and budget.
Additionally, MBC brings a high level of expertise in seismic design, particularly for complex institutional projects such as schools, CSU campus housing, and other university facilities. Our knowledge of seismic performance requirements and regulatory expectations from agencies like DSA and third-party reviewers enables us to produce designs that are widely acceptable with minimal revisions. By applying proven coordination and constructability review strategies, we not only help maintain compliance but also proactively identify potential issues to avoiding costly changes and keeping projects on schedule.
MBC’s depth of experience, collaborative approach, and proven track record in delivering efficient, code-compliant designs make us a trusted partner for successful new construction projects.
