Hi, I’m Charles Robison, a structural engineer who thrives on turning complex building concepts into safe, functioning structures. I’ve designed wood, steel, concrete, and masonry frames for residential, commercial, and light-industrial projects, and I enjoy coordinating with architects, civil engineers, and MEP teams to deliver practical, code-compliant solutions. Whether it’s foundation work, seismic and wind considerations, or preparing permit-ready plans, I bring strong analytical skills and a collaborative mindset to every project. I’m proficient with IBC/IRC, ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC, and I’m committed to clear communication and meticulous documentation from concept through construction.
