Welcome to Response Structural Engineers

Response Structural Engineers is dedicated to providing safe and economical structures for a variety of project types. We have broad experience that includes successful completion of residential, commercial, and institutional projects, specialty ceiling, seismic bracing and telecommunications projects. We are well versed in projects under the jurisdiction of DSA and OSHPD and have completed projects in a wide range of geographic locations including snow country. Founded by Todd Kemen, licensed S.E., Response Structural Engineers is a full-service engineering firm licensed in multiple western states. Our goal is simple: To provide you with the best structural engineering experience possible. Critical to this is clear communication especially well before the project begins construction. We find that a little extra effort during the schematic phase of projects will later result in less changes and a better overall design. We pride ourselves on establishing long term working relationships with our clients – We hope to earn your business and truly believe that all great projects rely on Response!
