What Complete Structural Consulting does

Complete Structural Consulting, Inc. (CSC) is a privately held structural engineering firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The firm provides delegated structural engineering design services to steel fabricators, manufacturers, steel detailers, and general contractors across all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, leveraging PE or SE licensure held in every jurisdiction. Service offerings span 12 categories, including steel connection design, stair and handrail design, building and foundation design, steel joists and deck, barrier cable design, solar canopy design, erection stability analysis, protective structures, pre-engineered steel buildings, 3D scanning, and specialty metals. The company executes more than 1,500 projects annually for clients that include NFL stadiums, MLB facilities, NASA, major technology firms, universities, hospitals, airports, and government institutions, supported by four regional offices in Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Denver, and the Washington DC metro area.

CSC's technical stack includes industry-standard structural engineering software (AutoCAD, Mathcad, RAM Elements, RAM Connections, Trimble Connections, IDEA Statica, Hilti Profis, and Bluebeam) combined with 3D scanning hardware for digital capture of existing structures. The firm is also developing an internal software platform with AI capabilities, APIs, integrations, and data pipelines intended to automate engineering workflows. Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than published as rate cards; there is no public revenue disclosure. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored by the firm's position as a fabricator's engineer that understands both design intent and production-cost considerations.

The firm operates without disclosed outside capital, is led by President Michael Roach, PE, alongside four Principals (Kevin Beery, David Lavenhagen, Cody Johnson, and Andrew Kays), and has a roster of approximately 30 named engineering professionals spanning Associate, Project, and Design Engineer roles, supplemented by project managers, technical leads, business development, and operations staff. Marketing is primarily direct sales supplemented by an active social media presence, a careers page used for talent acquisition, and earned-media placements such as a feature article in Structure Magazine's August 2024 edition.
