Iron Engineering provides cold-formed steel engineering, shop drawings and inspection services for contractors, panel manufacturers and architects. We have worked on hundreds of retail projects, including supermarkets such as Whole Foods, Big Y and Market Basket, and stores such as Five Below, Homesense, and Burlington Department Store.
Many projects involve renovating existing facades of retail plazas, and many others involve new construction. Through our extensive experience, we’ve seen it all and know the potential challenges that can come with a retail project.

When we take on a retail project, we’re prepared with a short list of items we want to check right away with the architect and/or engineer of record. We know how to resolve these challenges early in the process so we can hit the ground running and avoid any unnecessary project delays.
