Home Designs & Plans: Structural & Windstorm Engineering.

When you want home designs and plans to build or renovate, it’s essential to use an engineering firm that understands that home designs and plans need to consider local weather conditions. Severe weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, freezing weather, and hail cause devastation to homes and structures. Why take a chance?

Aran & Franklin Engineering is a leading windstorm and structural engineering firm serving the Gulf Coast since 1998.

The ‘Last House Standing’ on the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas after Hurricane Ike demonstrates the success of stronger Home Designs & Plans engineering by Aran + Franklin engineers.

In the wake of Hurricane Ike, this home became the perfect example of why windstorm design is essential. Despite an enormous storm surge, the house was literally the last house standing. It had superficial exterior damage, and significant water damage inside but remained structurally sound.
