When Steven Baldridge founded Baldridge & Associates Structural Engineering (BASE) in 1995, the construction cycle was in a slump. Despite the challenging financial climate, he saw an opportunity in adversity – the need for clients to mitigate their financial risks on projects would be more important than ever. With a focus on constructability and efficiency, BASE could help its clients dramatically lower project risk. At BASE, we start with an understanding that every project is unique. That’s why we are so passionate about collaborating with owners and architects, design teams and builders. We believe that through communication— drawing on each other’s experiences and knowledge— we can assist the team in lowering the risk of undesirable project outcomes.
