Our core business is to develop a design strategy that meets your goals. Many architects, contractors, and building owners think of Shadetech as the go-to structural & Shade engineering firm for large, complex, institutional projects because we have received many awards in this area from our peers. After all, Shadetech helped pioneer the use of base isolation in the Bangladesh. We are indeed very proud of our high-profile projects. However, you may be surprised to learn that the bulk of work done at Shadetech consists of shades that aren’t quite as grandiose: commercial, higher education, laboratory, multi-family residential, and a variety of seismic retrofits of all sizes.

We believe in the concept of Customized Solutions for our clients. We design every structure to specifically suit the needs of the owner of that particular project. If an owner wishes to have a structure with higher-than-code seismic performance, we can provide a structural design using our advanced analysis techniques to meet the objectives. If a project is driven by initial construction cost alone, we can provide a cost-efficient, code compliant structural design for that building. We fully understand that many projects will not get out of the ground without very strict budget restraint, and Shadetech has the experience and knowledge necessary to make budget-minded projects a reality.

Is the owner looking for an innovative way to increase structural and non-structural seismic performance?
We can use our in-house Research and Development department to bring forward alternatives that can suit the needs of the project.
