Morgan Structural

What Morgan Structural does

Morgan Structural is a boutique structural engineering firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Diego, California. The firm specializes in structural engineering services for mixed-use developments, multi-family residential projects, and custom residential builds. According to self-reported metrics, the firm has completed over 500 projects representing more than $250 million in built construction value since inception. Morgan Structural operates as a privately held, founder-owned entity led by Jeff Morgan, and as of the most recent reporting employs between 1 and 10 people across two offices.

The firm's client base consists primarily of developers and architectural firms, with named engagements including Sawaya Architecture, Skinny Homes, Scott M. Grunst & Associates, and Hubbell & Hubbell Architects. The firm differentiates itself through builder-focused structural design documents intended to reduce construction friction and through principal-level engineer involvement on every project, positioning itself as an accessible boutique alternative to larger structural engineering practices. Morgan Structural's product is the structural engineering deliverable itself—analysis, drawings, specifications, and construction administration—produced by licensed engineers.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue derived from structural engineering engagements, with distribution occurring directly via referrals and repeat relationships with architectural firms. Revenue mechanics follow standard structural engineering fee structures, typically calculated as a percentage of construction cost or fixed fee per project. In 2025, the firm opened a secondary office in Raleigh, North Carolina, extending its geographic reach to the East Coast and signaling intent to scale beyond the founder's home market.
