Merritt Engineering

Merritt Engineering Consultants, P.C. has established itself as a cornerstone in the field of Building Envelope Restoration and Structural Design since its inception in 1986 by Charles A. Merritt, P.E. With a focus on preserving the integrity of buildings while enhancing their value, the firm has adeptly navigated the complexities of the construction and engineering landscape. As a leader in the industry, Merritt Engineering specializes in a wide array of services, including structural engineering, waterproofing, and property condition assessments, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards of safety and quality.

A significant aspect of Merritt Engineering's expertise lies in its comprehensive understanding of Local Law 11/98, now known as the Façade Inspection Safety Program (FISP). The firm has successfully assisted hundreds of building owners in navigating the requirements of this crucial regulation, which mandates that all exterior facades over six stories be inspected every five years by a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI). This commitment to compliance not only safeguards the structural integrity of buildings but also protects the safety of occupants and pedestrians.

Merritt Engineering’s portfolio showcases a diverse range of key projects, including the restoration of historic facades, the design of innovative waterproofing systems, and the assessment of parking structures and plazas. Each project reflects the firm’s dedication to meticulous planning and cost-effective solutions, ensuring that clients receive the best value for their investments. With a team of seasoned professionals skilled in building studies, plan and cost reviews, and specialized waterproofing techniques, Merritt Engineering continues to set the standard for excellence in building envelope restoration and structural design.
