Hall Engineering provides structural framing design for residential houses in Dallas, Texas and surrounding areas.
Expert Structural Framing Design for Residential Houses in Dallas, TX
Structural framing design gives your home its load-bearing skeleton. It covers wall framing, floor systems, roof structure, headers, beams, and shear walls. Every element is sized and positioned to carry loads safely down to the foundation. In Dallas, that matters more than most places. North Texas sits on heavy, expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture changes. A framing plan that ignores those ground conditions can develop cracks, racking, and long-term movement. Dallas building departments also require engineered framing drawings for many new builds and additions in the DFW area. Hall Engineering is led by Marques Hall, a licensed professional engineer with experience across Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia. He produces signed and sealed framing plans that builders, contractors, and lenders can act on with confidence. Whether you are building a new home, adding a room, or modifying load-bearing walls, a proper framing design keeps your project on solid footing from the start.
