Getting the design right! We love meeting with our clients, brainstorming ideas, and altering designs a bunch of times in the beginning. Looking at the structure from a bunch of different ways ensures a good result everyone will be happy with.
Full services support. We are well-versed in working with building departments, inspectors, and builders. We take lead on logistics in project permitting to ensure things go smoothly.
Construction assistance. We take pride in our ability to perform all of the work we design. Our engineers are not the type to sit behind the computer - we get our hands dirty just as much as the contractors we work with.

In the town of Roscoe, NY JS Engineering & Design was brought in to complete a full services design-build project to construct a 3 bedroom, 2,400 square foot residence. With close proximity to trout-town USA and surrounded by nature, we sought out to create the perfect country escape.
Services included design, engineered and stamped permit drawings to include a site planning and septic design. Also included was full building load modeling and room-by-room HVAC calculations and system design. As this is design-build, JS Engineering and Design has overseen all elements of construction, ensuring the end product meets the design exactly, and all codes and standards are properly followed.
3D CAD renderings we completed and modified as necessary to ensure every aspect of the house was designed to flow as intended. Materials and colors were tested in software before being implemented in reality
Renderings help bring the ideas to life, and allow you to visualize the space better. They also allow for simulating natural lighting and seasonal changes
Although not always required based on client needs, the ZIP system is a go-to for us. By incorporating rigid foam insulation and a weather resistant barrier in each panel, they make for a solid, air-tight construction that saves time and ensures energy efficiency.
Large beams capable of spanning long distances are used throughout the house to ensure an open floor plan, and plenty of room for gatherings. The house will feel open and cozy at the same time, allowing for diverse multi-purposed use of space.
High efficiency cold climate heat pumps, and a combination of spray foam and high efficiency insulation design made this house eligible for thousands of dollars in energy efficiency rebates. Meticulous load modeling allowed JS Engineering and Design to select optimal HVAC systems and insulation designs.
The owners being car enthusiasts needed a high-ceiling garage. a 13 foot ceiling height was incorporated into the design to ensure enough space for a car lift, and plenty of room for mechanical activities.
Large beams and floor design ensure the living space above is free from any sound or vibration transfer.
