What MJ Structures does

MJ Structures, PLLC is a private structural engineering consulting firm headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2004 by Richard Martin, PE. The firm provides structural design services for residential, commercial, institutional, parking, and cultural building projects, working as an integrated member of the architectural design team rather than as a bid-shop commodity provider. Services span multiple structural materials (structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry, and wood) and include sustainable and LEED-certified design work, with notable projects including the South Congress Hotel, T3 Parking Garage, Capital Studios affordable housing, the Austin Convention Center Expansion, and the Waco Mammoth National Monument exhibition building.

The firm's underlying technology stack is Building Information Management (BIM) for spatial building frame modeling combined with structural frame analytical software and architect-BIM interoperability tools, which the firm explicitly positions as allowing it to compete with structural engineering practices several times its size. The firm maintains a website-hosted portfolio of 100+ projects and has won 30+ design and construction awards, principally from the Austin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Texas Society of Architects, and national bodies such as the International Parking Institute, the Chicago Athenaeum, and World Architecture News.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services fees billed to architects, developers, and institutional clients on a quote basis. The firm operates as a sales-led B2B practice with no public pricing, no subscription or productized revenue stream, no API or software product, no external funding, and no disclosed parent or subsidiary relationships. Customer concentration sits across multiple named architectural firms (Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, Dick Clark Architecture, Lake Flato, Page Southerland Page, TeamHaas, Andersson·Wise, LTL Architects, Cotera + Reed, Noack Little, Sanders Architecture, Danze Blood) and developer clients (Foundation Communities, P. Terry's), with a regional Texas focus and selective out-of-state projects in New Mexico and Virginia.

Broad incumbents

• Simpson Gumpertz & Heger: National structural engineering firm specializing in building structures, enclosures, and structural forensics. Directly comparable in providing structural engineering consulting for architect-led projects, but operating nationally with much larger headcount and resources.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with structural engineering practice serving architects on complex cultural, commercial, and institutional projects. Comparable on signature building expertise and architect collaboration model, but at a vastly larger scale.
• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates: National engineering consultancy with structural engineering, forensics, and building restoration practices. Comparable technical depth on complex structural challenges, but with a broader service portfolio and significantly larger geographic and scale footprint.
• Walter P Moore: Large national structural and civil engineering firm with a Texas presence. Directly overlapping in structural design for buildings, parking structures (a key MJ Structures specialty), and cultural/institutional projects, but operating at materially larger scale and project sizes.
• Page (now Stantec): Major architecture/engineering firm that has worked with MJ Structures as a client/architect partner. Overlapping in Texas project work on institutional and commercial buildings, but offers structural engineering as part of a much broader integrated design practice.

Regional players

• Smith Seckman Reid: Tennessee-headquartered engineering firm with structural practice and presence across the South. Comparable in providing structural engineering consulting for buildings, but primarily serving a different regional footprint than MJ Structures' Texas concentration.

Direct peers

• Datum Engineers: Austin-based structural engineering consulting firm with comparable multi-material expertise (steel, concrete, mass timber, masonry) serving similar architecture and developer clients across Texas. Highly comparable in scale, project types (cultural, institutional, hospitality), and local market positioning.
• LBYD Engineers: Structural and civil engineering firm with strong presence in Texas and the Southeast. Comparable in delivering structural engineering consulting for commercial, institutional, and recreational buildings through architect-led project teams.
• TLC Engineering Solutions: Multi-discipline engineering firm with structural engineering practice serving architects and developers on commercial, healthcare, and institutional projects. Comparable B2B professional services model and project-based fee structure.
