In this episode of Elevate: AEC Insights, we sit down with 3 industry leaders in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction space to learn more about their journey to leadership, their recommended resources for those looking to enter into this industry and take away advice on how to grow in this industry.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) offer flexible housing solutions, are becoming increasingly popular, and more government agencies are looking for creative ways to simplify construction permits.
With the recent California law, AB1033, this enables homeowners to sell ADUs independently, which in turn enhances financial flexibility for the homeowner and increases the housing supply.
With our commitment to being a community-driven and mission-driven firm, we take pride in our expertise and knowledge in providing structural engineering services for affordable housing projects. Our understanding of critical factors, such as tax credit applications and construction budgets, enables us to assist clients on a deeper level in achieving their funding and financing goals. With a focus on comprehensive lateral system designs and detailed pricing stages, we ensure accuracy and cost-efficiency throughout the project. We will delve into the intricacies of affordable housing projects and highlight our experience in delivering successful outcomes for our clients and the communities we serve.
We had a chance to sit down with Project Engineer, Anisa Awad, to learn more about both her role and ESE’s role in The Randall at Mill District project.
