HERBERT L. GOPMAN, CONSULTING ENGINEERS IS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING is FIRM, WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN 1967. C7 OUR STAFF IS MADE UP OF DESIGN ENGINEERS AND DRAFTS PEOPLE WITH A BROAD RANGE OF EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN STRUCTURES AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LATEST COMPUTERIZED BUILDING TECHNIQUES. OUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES DESIGN, PLANNING, SPECIFICATION AND INSPECTIONS OF SEVERAL HUNDRED VARIED STRUCTURES, FROM HIGHRISES TO SHOPPING CENTERS, AND FROM OFFICE BUILDINGS TO SPACE FRAMES, THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THE COMPANY'S POLICY HAS BEEN TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN A STAFF THAT IS TRAINED PERSONALLY BY THE PRINCIPAL SO AS TO INSTILL THE CONCEPTS AND IDEAS THAT ORIGINATED THE FIRM. OUR DESIGN TEAM IS WELL VERSED NOT ONLY IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, BUT IN THE FIRMS STANDARDS FOR THE EXECUTION OF A PROJECT. THIS LEADS TO A UNIFORMITY OF DESIGN AND PRESENTATION, WHICH WHEN REFLECTED IN THE FINAL CONTRACT DOCUMENTS GIVES THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF PLANS HE CAN UNDERSTAND, BID AND BUILD WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CONSTANT INTERPRETATION. THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS OF DESIGN, THE CATALYST THAT TIES THE WORK TOGETHER IS THE PRINCIPALS' INVOLVEMENT AT THE DESIGN LEVEL. FOR EACH PROJECT, A PRINCIPAL WORKING WITH AN ENGINEER TEAM LEADER DEVELOPS THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM, DOES THE PRELIMINARY SIZING AND DESIGN AND DIRECTS THE DESIGN FLOW. AS THE PROJECT DEVELOPS, THE PRINCIPALS' INVOLVEMENT REMAINS CONSTANT THROUGHOUT. THE PRINCIPAL OF THE FIRM IS AN ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEER, AND AS SUCH, TAKES GREAT CARE WHEN WORKING WITH THE ARCHITECT TO ASSURE THAT THE STRUCTURE WORKS WELL WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CLIENT IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES TO DEVELOP A STRUCTURAL SYSTEM THAT BLENDS WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATION. IN THE DESIGN OF OUR STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS, WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OUR LONG TERM EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD OF SITE AND INSPECTION. ADDING TO THIS, THE KNOWLEDGE THAT BUILDINGS ARE PUT TOGETHER WITHIN TOLERANCES ALLOWED BY THE VARIOUS BUILDING CODES, ALLOWS US TO DESIGN A PRACTICAL BUILDING WITH A MINIMUM OF STRUCTURAL COMPLEXITY. THE FIRM HAS DEVELOPED AN OUTSTANDING SYSTEM. THE QUALITY OF OUR WORK IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE ECONOMIC SUCCESS OF OUR PROJECTS AND OUR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CLIENTS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY OF DEMONSTRATING THIS QUALITY TO YOU NOT IN WORDS BUT IN CONCRETE AND STEEL WHERE IT COUNTS. WE CONTINUOUSLY STRIVE TO ACHIEVE PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE. Page 3 of 6
