Services
Creating, renewing, preserving, sustaining: This has been the vision of Silman since our beginning as a one-person New York based practice in 1966. Since then, Silman has grown to a staff of more than 160 across six offices located in New York, NY, Washington DC, Boston, MA, Ann Arbor, MI, Chicago, IL, and Los Angeles, CA.
Silman is noted for its collaborative spirit in the design of new architectural works and on some of the largest and most noteworthy renovations and additions in the US. Silman fosters an approach centered on constant collaboration between owners, architects, and consultants to provide the highest quality structural engineering services possible.
We are recognized for our intense commitment to collaboration. We are proud of that recognition and the joy we have found working with others. Collaboration underlies everything we do and has been the foundation for deep and lasting relationships, honed over multiple projects and, in some cases, generations of leadership.
We are a team of unique personalities who share a common purpose - to foster a collaborative approach that provides high quality structural engineering services. With offices in New York; Washington, DC; Boston; Ann Arbor, MI; Chicago; and Los Angeles, we are effective listeners, creative problem solvers, and knowledgeable professionals when it comes to all facets of design and construction.
We have a long history of working on projects that support and enrich communities through social initiatives and nonprofit organizations.

Don’t question there “billing” OR they quite the job and threaten to pull the entire application. Very spiteful and maligned. I have never seen anything like it and I have worked with many engineers in NYC. These guys have galacticly inflated egos and if you do not cater to them you will regret it!! Move on to a small form who cares about you.
