ABOUT KRIVONEN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Big enough to deliver,
small enough to care.

At Krivonen, we care about helping our clients and building real relationships. Our work is based on the connections we create with people and the solutions we develop to solve their problems. Structural engineering is part of a larger process that brings ideas to reality, and our role is to create efficient solutions that ensure the bones of design are strong and long-lasting. Our professional approach is based on collaboration. It’s approachable and personable, just like us.

From commercial and industrial to education and residential, we have completed over 10,000 projects throughout the region that illustrate innovative and efficient structural systems at work.

We create strong solutions.

 

We form lasting connections.

 

We foster peace of mind & integrity.

Licensed to work in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming.

Why Krivonen?

Strong Solutions

Our designs ensure safe and high-performing structures. We create the skeleton of the building which allows it to withstand loading from its environment and usage. Our solutions have to work for everyone involved. Good communication, unique creativity, and precise capabilities are how we provide the solution.

Lasting Connections

We are in this for the long haul with our clients. We recognize the trust they place in us and take that seriously. We listen well and respond thoughtfully, recognizing that their success means ours as well. Just like the connections within the structures we design, the connections with our clients are what stand the test of time.

Peace Of Mind

We provide forgettable structures. These are buildings that our clients don’t have to think about because they perform well with little structural maintenance. Our clients also rest assured that our services are priced competitively and that our solutions are cost-effective.

Over 10,000 projects and 25+ years of experience.
