We provide architectural engineering and structural engineering services including expert witness testimony. Vacek LLC is an architectural and structural engineering company in the Houston Texas metro area. Vacek, LLC is one of few firms in Houston that deals with multiple facets of building science and engineering. Many engineering projects involve investigations where structural damages are traced to sources that require termination before repairs can proceed.
Other engineering projects involve renovations where, in instances, walls and columns are removed that support the structure. Alternate support methods are developed. Some engineering projects are simply new construction while others are reconstruction requiring forensic engineering solutions. Every project is unique. Vacek LLC, formerly Vacek Group, is a Houston area structural and architectural engineering company established in 1994.
The company offers years of experience to insurance companies, attorneys, architects and the private sector.

Moisture Control Evaluations of Building Envelopes have become critical in recent years.
The new building envelopes (exterior walls, roof assemblies, elevated floor assemblies) have become more air tight due to energy conservation efforts causing the components to be more susceptible to moisture accumulation.
Moisture accumulation leads to deterioration and mold growth.
These moisture control analyses provide insight into which assemblies are more prone to moisture accumulation and which assemblies are better suited to your structure.

After Building Moisture Analyses are completed, Building Material Moisture Content Investigations are performed to compare actual data to the computer analyses.
Moisture content readings are obtained with the use of moisture meters.
Air temperatures and relative humidities are also recorded with the use of psychrometers.
Color coded drawings are generated that identify moisture content variations of different materials.
Moisture scales are provided on each drawing to identify elevated moisture.

Foundation and Floor Elevation Surveys are used to identify unusual movements of a foundation or suspended floor.
Measurements are obtained with electronic level equipment and the data is fed into the computer.
Two-dimensional and Three-dimensional survey drawings are generated.
The Three-dimensional survey drawing is color coded so that the movements of the structural components can be more easily understood.
In instances, a site survey is performed to identify correlations between the site slope and structural movements.

Structural specifications can be provided for a myriad of building types, as listed on the Homepage.
Materials include wood, concrete, masonry, steel, aluminum, gypsum, and plastics.
