  • 1.  looking for structural consultant in MI

    Posted 11-04-2014 10:47 AM
    I am looking for a referral for a structural engineer in Michigan to work with on a residential project in Brighton Township. I don't know if we have anybody from MI here on CRAN, but I thought I would reach out and ask.

    Try Paul Daniels at SDI in Ann Arbor. He is currently AIA Michigan President.

    Paul Daniels is a principal with SDI in Ann Arbor and also the current president of AIA Michigan and would be a great choice for south half of Michigan.

    Brian Ross of Practical Engineers in Traverse City would be a great choice for the northern half of the state.
