Andrew Zafrin, SE

Principal

Specializing in the technological aspects of structural design, Andrew applies his education and experience to collaborative thinking, providing exceptional value to design and construction teams.

Highlights:

  • Use of Autodesk Revit BIM software to configure, analyze, and provide construction support for structures with high technical difficulty
  • Design of panelized framing systems and using experimental building materials with consideration of reduced construction waste and renewable resources

With structures ranging from ultra-modern residences to traditional commercial projects, from educational facilities to hospitals and other public structures, Andrew maximizes the advantages of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to produce efficient and real-world constructible projects.

“My interest in structural engineering developed at an early age while watching my grandfather practice architecture, where I developed a curiosity to understand the bones behind the completed architectural appearance.”
