clients stories.

The Mulhern Group, Ltd. has had the pleasure of working with Jirsa-Hedrick for over thirty years. We typically commission their team for our most complicated buildings. Their extensive experience in a myriad of building and construction types, along with their organized approach, greatly help us in simplifying the complex and getting buildings within budget and ultimately constructed with limited stress in what is a very stressful marketplace.
Mike Mulhern

President, The Mulhern Group, Ltd.

Jirsa Hedrick has been Lee Architect’s go to structural engineer for years. This is due to their attention to quality design and documentation, coupled with their competitive fees and timely service. I would not hesitate in recommending Jirsa Hedrick to anyone.
Johnny Lee

President, Lee Architects

Having worked with Steve Jirsa and his engineers for over twenty years I can enthusiastically say that they are exceptionally competent, creative, and a pleasure to work with. They are particularly skilled, in the early phases of design, at evaluating alternative structural systems based on design objectives, constructability, schedule, cost, building program, and cost.
Chris Shears

Principal, SAR+

Jirsa Hedrick has provided a greater degree of constructability input than we typically experience in our structural engineering consultants. They have been helpful and always available to review conditions to consider cost savings and constructability efficiencies.
Julian Nahan

Integrated Project Leader, The Beck Group

I have worked extensively in both concrete preconstruction and operations, experiencing a wide array of engineering and contract administration philosophies. Jirsa Hedrick's team-oriented, 'get it done' mentality supersedes all others. They are responsive to our needs, communicative, and highly professional in every aspect of their business.
Matt Van Matre

Project Manager, Saunders Construction

Haselden Construction has enjoyed working with Jirsa Hedrick for over 30 years. We can always depend on their design to be efficient, cost-effective, and they always find a way to make things work. Whenever we have the opportunity to influence the selection of the structural engineer, Jirsa Hedrick is among our top recommendations.
