Structural Engineering Services
Straight Edge is led by Ryan Beck, PE, a licensed Professional Engineer serving Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. Get residential structural assessments, foundation design support, and repair documentation backed by real engineering.

Meet Your Engineer
Most foundation companies send a salesperson. Straight Edge sends Ryan Beck, PE, a licensed Professional Engineer who founded the company right here in Fort Collins and has spent more than a decade diagnosing and correcting structural problems across Northern Colorado.
Our expansive clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on local foundations. Ryan inspects every project personally, documents the root cause, and designs a repair plan for your home, not a one-size-fits-all product pitch.

What We Provide
Professional engineering support for homeowners, buyers, and builders across Northern Colorado.
A licensed Professional Engineer inspects your foundation, framing, and load paths to identify what is actually moving, why it is moving, and how urgent it is.
From additions and new construction to underpinning and helical pier systems, we design the repair or support structure to fit your soil conditions and loads.
You receive a documented scope of work with engineering reasoning behind it, useful for contractors, permits, insurance questions, and peace of mind.
Already quoted for repair work? We review the proposal against what the structure needs, and we verify completed repairs were built to specification.
The Straight Edge Difference
A structural engineer looks at your home differently than a repair salesperson does. That difference shows up in every step.
We identify the root cause first, so you never pay for a repair your home does not need.
Every repair scope is engineered for your structure and soil, then built to those specifications.
Written findings and plans hold up with buyers, lenders, insurers, and building officials.
The engineer who assesses your home also oversees the correction, start to finish.
Need repair work as well as engineering? We handle foundation repair, crawl space repair, waterproofing, and more. See all our services, or learn about our Fort Collins team.
