Specialty Engineering Capabilities
at Morabito Consultants
Contractor Assist & Construction Support
Our team works directly with contractors to resolve field conditions, sequencing challenges, temporary support needs, and other construction-phase engineering issues. We provide practical, code-compliant structural solutions that help protect safety, reduce delays, and keep work progressing on site.
Shop Drawings & Delegated Design
Morabito Consultants prepares shop drawings, structural calculations, and delegated engineering designs for specialty building components. Our experience includes steel connections, light-gauge framing, retaining walls, flood walls, railings, stair systems, miscellaneous metals, and other contractor-led design elements.
Temporary Shoring, Bracing & Structural Stabilization
Safe construction, renovation, and repair projects often require engineered temporary support systems. We design shoring, bracing, underpinning, and structural stabilization solutions to support existing structures, protect workers, and accommodate construction activities while permanent work is completed.
Demolition Engineering and Means-and-Methods Support
Morabito Consultants develops temporary support and demolition sequencing solutions to help contractors dismantle structures safely and efficiently. Our demolition engineering services consider adjacent structures, construction access, load paths, and project-specific constraints to reduce risk during complex demolition work.
Swing Stage Scaffold & Access System Design
Exterior renovation, façade repair, and building envelope projects often require engineered access systems. Morabito Consultants designs swing stage scaffolding, suspended access systems, and related support details to help contractors access work areas safely while meeting applicable structural and safety requirements.
Specialty Structures & Custom Engineering Solutions
Our engineers develop custom structural solutions for unique field conditions, specialty components, and nontraditional construction challenges. We collaborate with contractors, fabricators, architects, and owners to produce buildable designs that align with project goals, site constraints, and code requirements.
Choosing Morabito Consultants for Specialty Engineering
Morabito Consultants brings decades of structural engineering experience, advanced analytical tools, and practical field knowledge to specialty engineering assignments.

What is delegated design?
Delegated design is when a project’s engineer assigns responsibility for designing specific components to a qualified specialty engineer. This might happen with structural steel connections, retaining walls, light-gauge framing, stairs, or specialized building systems.
Can Morabito Consultants prepare shop drawings?
Yes. We prepare engineering calculations and shop drawings for a wide range of structural components to help fabricators and contractors meet building code requirements and project specifications.
What types of contractors do Morabito Consultants work with?
General contractors, construction managers, steel fabricators, concrete contractors, specialty subcontractors, restoration contractors, and building owners are just some of the types of professionals we support on projects of all sizes.
Can Morabito Consulting provide engineering support during construction?
Yes. Our team can provide solutions during the construction phase, such as temporary shoring and bracing designs, demolition sequencing, scaffold engineering, field modifications, and more.
