About

CORE 4 Engineering was founded by Matthew Christianson, P.E., S.E. in late 2013 with a goal of creating an engineering firm that works with architects, contractors and building owners by listening to their needs and project vision, and executing that vision. CORE 4 has since assembled a team of experienced engineers, designers and support staff that have a like-minded philosophy putting the Client first and NEVER saying "We Can't Do That". We value the team approach internally and externally, listening to alternative ideas & concepts to provide the best solution possible. Structural Engineering is a critical component of integrated project delivery and to make each project successful, we focus on our four core principles, our CORE 4:

CLIENT FOCUSed

We understand that the Owner and Architect have specific goals, and we focus on those end goals throughout the project.

COLLABORATIve

We strive for detailed coordination between the structural system and the architectural project constraints, as well as mechanical, electrical and plumbing system coordination.

CREATIVe

We seek creative and unique solutions to our structures, thinking "out of the box", but keeping costs always in mind.

COMMUNICATIve

We constantly communicate with our Clients through a variety of medium and utilizing technology in the best possible way to ensure we are clear with our design concept and execution.
