We are in the process of getting final approvals for ADU plans in the both the City of Winters and Lathrop. If you are interested in building an ADU in either city, contact Jackson and Sands Engineering for site plans and information.

At Jackson & Sands Engineering, Inc, a wide array of tools are available to us to create effective solutions for you. In our industry, like many others, not one tool can complete every job and not all tools are needed for every project. Much like a carpenter who has their most commonly used tools in their tool bags, yet more tools in their tool box, and even more tools that are rented for specialized projects, we find ourselves using our core tools on most aspects of every project, other tools may be used less frequently on most projects, and even more tools are needed on a case by case basis. The most commonly used tools for us include:
Wisdom from Experience– This is a tool that keeps growing and adapting to the times. Our years of experience in the industry greatly contribute to completing innovative and efficient designs. Our experience is compiled on top of the experience of those before us, as they trained the next generation of engineers. Something we are eternally grateful for and will continue the tradition by training our next generation of engineers to come.

The most commonly used tools for us include:
Resource and Code Manuals– We constantly find ourselves referencing the required design manuals such as the ASCE 7-16 and California Building Code as well as industry generated manuals from the National Design Specification for Wood Construction and publications by the Engineered Wood Association.

Microsoft Excel – Excel and other spreadsheet software are a staple in our line of work. We have several excel sheets set up for every project. Some spreadsheets track progress, others are used as standard forms, and yet others compute complex equations that are nested within multiple sheets. When our other calculation type software, such as Enercalc and Forte, hit their limits for certain projects, we can trust that excel will take us the rest of the way by creating new spreadsheets and equations to calculate and determine our desired results.
Frank Sands and Sean Jackson will be attending the Structural Engineering Summit - November 7-10th
We will be there to expand our knowledge about the latest in structural engineering.
We will be interacting with and learning from leaders in the field, curious problem solvers, and expert speakers. We will get the opportunity to stay current on advancements and best practices in structural engineering and building and design codes—in education sessions and in the Exhibit Hall. We will be discussing technical, business, and industry challenges—and work toward solutions in a collaborative community. We will be learning to build our business and leadership skills. Reconnect and network with those in your professional community.
We are excited to bring those ideas back to our firm and clients.

Forte Web – a web based timber beam calculator. We find this tool very useful in determining the bending and shear capacities of wooden beams and joists. The layout is more cumbersome than its desktop version predecessor, however we have made the adjustments needed and find this tool very useful in our designs.
