Based in Reno. Building Reno.
Our office is at 1680 Montclair, a few minutes from Midtown. When a Reno project needs a site visit, a structural observation, or a plan-check conversation with the City of Reno or Washoe County, it happens in days — not after a flight from a national firm's nearest hub.
We work across the whole city: hillside custom homes in the foothills, remodels of Old Southwest bungalows, podium multifamily in Midtown and downtown, tilt-up and TI work along the freeway corridors, and equipment anchorage for the industrial parks east of town.

Reno Code & Licensing Knowledge
Nevada PE + SE Dual License
Palisade Engineering holds both PE and SE licensure in Nevada — qualified to seal everything from a deck repair letter to designated essential facilities.
City of Reno & Washoe County Plan Check
We submit to City of Reno and Washoe County regularly and know what each desk wants to see in a structural package — fewer correction cycles, faster permits.
Reno Seismic & Wind Design
The Truckee Meadows sit in an active seismic region with significant wind exposure on the foothill edges. We design to the code editions Reno-area jurisdictions actually enforce.
Local Site Visits & Observations
Being headquartered in Reno means an engineer can be on your site quickly — for construction-stage observations, damage assessments, or pre-purchase structural reviews.

Reno Structural Engineering — FAQ
Do you have an office in Reno?
Yes — Palisade Engineering is headquartered at 1680 Montclair, Suite B, Reno, NV 89509. Reno is our home market: site visits, structural observations, and plan-check coordination happen locally, usually within days.
What projects do you handle in Reno?
Custom homes and remodels across Reno's established neighborhoods and foothills, multifamily and podium projects in Midtown and downtown, commercial and tenant improvements throughout Washoe County, structural observations for real estate transactions, and seismic equipment anchorage for the region's industrial and data center corridor.
Which building departments do you work with in the Reno area?
City of Reno, City of Sparks, and Washoe County building departments, plus Storey County for the TRIC corridor. We know how each plan-check desk reads structural calcs and what they flag, which keeps permit cycles short.
Can you look at cracks or settlement in my Reno home?
Yes. We perform structural observations for homeowners, buyers, and agents — a licensed engineer visits the property, reviews the observed conditions, and documents findings in a sealed report that lenders and the building department accept. You can book a site visit online.
How fast can a Reno project get to permit?
Typical Reno projects move from design to permit submittal in 4–6 weeks. Being local means fast site visits and direct coordination with City of Reno and Washoe County plan check.
