We are truly humbled by the kind words of our clients.
“I have worked with Palmer Engineering for nearly 30 years and there is a reason I have continued to have a close working relationship with the firm. Unlike many engineering consultants, the firm, and in particular Baku Patel, has proved willing to explore creative, but practical approaches to design challenges. Baku is someone I enjoy collaborating with as a partner in the process. He has a special ability to understand and appreciate the design intent. His knowledge of structural systems, construction methods and relative costs is an invaluable resource for making critical decisions on how we can best achieve our goals as an architectural design firm.”
—Markham Smith: Founding Partner – Smith Dalia Architects, GA
“We’ve worked with Palmer Engineering Company for most of our firm’s history and I’ve worked with them personally for the past fifteen years. Baku, Eric, and their team have a collective expertise that spans multiple markets and rivals that of much larger firms. And while that broad knowledge base is critical to our practice, we value them just as much for something quite the opposite—their flexibility, responsiveness, and creative problem-solving make each project feel customized in both design and experience, for us as well as our clients. That’s a difficult combination to beat.”

Palmer Engineering serves all of these varying requests in an expedited manner with a thorough review that includes a dialogue of means and methods for the best solution for the General Contactor to execute for the schedule and budget.
As Wilson & Dawson, Architects work also includes Historic Renovation/Rehabilitation we certainly appreciate and recommend Baku Patel and Palmer Engineering based on their previous exceptional support of these projects. Their experience and expertise are greater than computer structural models. Palmer Engineering provide the work on difficult hybrid structural conditions including mass masonry bearing walls, wood beams and columns structural frames and infill supports. Their efforts establish a full understanding of the systems and the design loads. They then overlay new code requirements and finally but “greatest” provide corrections that are the best suited to the project.
