NAXA Sustainable Designs is a design, engineering, and project management firm. We coordinate design, engineering, and the specialty consultants your project needs, drive it to Ready to Issue (RTI) permits, and stay on as engineer of record through construction.
Most firms just house a few architects and engineers. NAXA is a management team that orchestrates every discipline your project needs and runs the city back-and-forth, so you get one accountable team driving your plans to RTI, Ready to Issue, instead of chasing a dozen consultants.
Zoning, unit count, and highest-and-best-use.
Concept through construction documents.
Structural, civil, and MEP, including light-gauge and structural steel.
Geotechnical, Title 24 energy, fire, acoustical, lighting, all coordinated by us.
We manage the city submittals and corrections.
Plans approved and ready to permit. A milestone, not the finish line.
As engineer of record, we stay on through construction, structural observation reports, submittals, and inspections, to Certificate of Occupancy. Through the TESH group, we can build it too.
Whatever you are building, one team carries it from feasibility to RTI, and the TESH group builds it.

Then, through the TESH group, your home is rebuilt in light-gauge steel.
NAXA is the design, engineering, and management front of the TESH integrated group. Independent in identity, connected in capability.
Feasibility and design at NAXA, engineered and managed to RTI, then fabricated and erected by the TESH group, and delivered as a finished building.
When an SB-721 or SB-326 inspection finds a problem, we design the repair and the group builds it. One team from finding to fix.
Our licensed architects and engineers manage the whole path to permits, with value engineering that has saved clients millions. We have completed 1,500+ inspections, 500+ seismic retrofit designs, 100+ homes and ADUs, and 500+ repair and remodeling projects for more than 500 clients.
From the coast to the Inland Empire, we know the local jurisdictions, plan-check desks, and code amendments that move a project to permit.
One managed team, from feasibility to RTI to finished building.
