VT ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE

Engineering-First Approach

Designs built for durability, sustainability, economy, constructability and functionality.

Full-service structural engineering and architectural design services with in-house residential MEP designs and lot-specific civil engineering, under one roof. Coordination problems get predicted and solved during design, not discovered during construction.

ABOUT

We Go Further in the Details.


3D-printed home designed and engineered by VeroTouch

When design and engineering teams and scopes are isolated, problems tend to surface at the worst possible moment. VeroTouch integrates architectural, civil, structural, and MEP engineering into a single coordinated process from day one.

A multi-discipline design team in-house means better communication, better coordination and drafting precision that simplifies quantity take-offs and estimates for trade partners and shortens permit reviews.

Our scope covers the same disciplines you would expect from any design firm. The difference is the effort we put into it. We add the supplemental details, sections and notes that many drawing sets leave for the field to figure out, so fewer questions come up after the plans are issued.

NO CHASING CONSULTANTS ACROSS FIRMS. NO COORDINATION GAPS SHOWING UP IN THE FIELD.

Our mission: to design and engineer structures that keep their promises.

Contractors

Drawings You Can Bid with Confidence

Detailed, coordinated drawing sets that expedite take-offs with better accuracy, so estimates and bids come together faster.

Plan reviewers

Code Information Where You Expect It

Well-organized drawings put the pertinent code-related information up front, so permits move without back-and-forth.

Owners

Fewer Surprises

Coordination issues are caught in design, reducing the risk of change orders and schedule delays during construction.

OUR FOCAL FIVE

The Five Qualities Behind Every VeroTouch Design

01

Resiliency

Structures engineered for the loads, soils and climate they will actually see, with details that hold up for decades, not just through inspection.

02

Sustainability

Right-sized structure and efficient assemblies use less material, and our team's LEED background guides site and building choices for the long run.

03

Economy

Engineering shapes the architecture from day one, and value engineering finds savings before the project goes to bid, not through change orders.

04

Constructability

Coordinated drawing sets that trade partners can price, build and inspect without guesswork, informed by our own crews in the field.

05

Functionality

Spaces planned around how people will live and work in them, with structure and systems that support the layout instead of fighting it.

L

CAPABILITIES

Full-Service Engineering and Design Under One Roof.

With the flexibility to work within your existing team structure.

01

Full-Service Engineering and Design

Architectural design, civil, structural, and MEP engineering, plus complete BIM-coordination drafting. Bundle services for preferred pricing.

02

Standalone Support

Already have an architect or engineer selected? We contract directly as your structural, civil, and/or MEP engineer without disrupting your existing relationships, and still prioritize coordination, optimization and value engineering on every project.

03

Peer Reviews and Value Engineering

Independent code reviews and second opinions on drawings, details, calculations and design decisions. If your project is estimated over budget, we study and advise on cost savings before change orders or add-service fees pile up.

04

Interior Fixtures, Finishes, and Equipment

As part of the architectural scope, we provide FF&E specifications and selections, keeping interior design planning costs down without leaving these decisions to vendors, suppliers and trade partners.

05

Landscaping and Hardscaping Plans

Planting plans that improve curb appeal, and site hardscaping (pavers, edging, retaining walls, xeriscaping) coordinated with site grading to maximize space while minimizing water use.

THE VEROTOUCH PLATFORM

Designs That Flow Straight into the Build

Architecture, structural engineering, automation engineering and materials science sit under one roof. Our BIM-driven designs flow directly into 3D printed concrete print paths and SIPs shop drawings, eliminating the design-to-build handoff failures that drive cost overruns.

WHAT WE DELIVER

  • +Master plan typologies tuned to each site
  • +Unit plans optimized for 3D printed concrete and SIPs constructability
  • +Structural engineering stamped for Colorado mountain loads
  • +BIM coordination across MEP, civil and finishing trades
  • +Construction documents and permit set delivery
  • +On-site construction administration through certificate of occupancy
L

QUALITY CONTROL

Quality Control That Improves with Every Project.

Every drawing set goes through a formal quality control process before it is issued, and we keep refining that process with AI-assisted reviews and the metrics we track on every job. The result is a smoother, more predictable construction phase.

01

Formal QC Reviews

Multi-discipline checks at set milestones, so architectural, structural, civil and MEP drawings agree before they leave our office.

02

AI-Assisted Checks

AI tools help flag clashes, gaps and inconsistencies across the drawing set, leaving our reviewers more time for engineering judgment.

03

Metric Tracking

We track RFIs, plan review comments and field changes on our projects, and use the trends to decide what to improve next.

04

A Seamless Construction Phase

Fewer questions in the field, quicker permit reviews and fewer change orders keep the build on schedule and on budget.

WHO WE WORK WITH

From Local Builders to Large-Scale Developers.

  • +Design-build contractors
  • +Real estate investors and developers
  • +Urban and suburban commercial, mixed-use, and retail developers
  • +Local builders working on residential projects of any magnitude
  • +Architecture firms looking to partner with collaborative, responsive engineers

Engineering-First Vertical Builds.

When we lead the design, engineering shapes it from day one. When an outside architect leads, we bring the same coordination and detail as your engineer.

  • +Single-family spec and production home designs
  • +Custom single-family homes
  • +Multi-family and mixed-use residential construction
  • +Commercial, industrial, retail, office, and municipal
  • +Community planning, zoning, and density studies
  • +Contractor-friendly construction and permit documents

OUR PARTNERS

Built Alongside Our Partners.

We don't see the people we work with as clients. Developers, builders, contractors and architects are partners on every project, and we treat their goals, budgets and schedules as our own.

01

A Seat at the Table Early

We bring partners into design decisions from the start, so the drawings reflect how they build, sell and operate.

02

Responsive and Collaborative

Questions get answered quickly by the people doing the work, not passed between firms.

03

Shared Success

When a partner's project pencils out, permits smoothly and builds cleanly, that is how we measure our own work.

TEAM

The Professionals Behind the Stamps.

Austin Trumbull, P.E.

Principal Engineer

Austin Trumbull, P.E.

Austin leads VeroTouch's integrated architecture and engineering team with an engineering-first approach built on one idea: the most sustainable and economical building is the one designed efficiently from the start. A founding shareholder of VeroTouch Engineering, he holds a BSE in Civil Engineering (Structures and Mechanics of Materials) from the University of Iowa and has led structural design and multidisciplinary coordination on schools, universities, healthcare, mixed-use and multifamily projects.

Early work as a forensic engineer on construction failures showed him what poor coordination costs, so he pushes coordination and value engineering into the earliest design decisions. Today he is shaping code-compliant structural design for 3D printed concrete: optimizing wall assemblies for cost, speed and thermal performance, and using simulation to cut material waste and risk.
