Snowden & Meyer was formed, little knowing the dramatic impact they would have in the way foundation design is practiced today. Snowden & Meyer designed the very first post-tensioned slab-on-ground, that went on to be a standard in residential and light commercial construction. WRI's "Design of Slab-On-Ground Foundations" was published, and adopted by the Uniform Building Code.
MLAW Engineers works closely with its sister company, MLA Labs, Inc., the premier leader in Central Texas soils expertise. MLA Labs, Inc. has drilled over 150,000 borings in Central Texas, providing 51 years of data on the most expansive and highest risk soils in the nation! MLA Labs, Inc. offers a full range of construction materials testing, residential lot fill testing (79 G), soils analysis, and geotechnical services.
Since designing the very first residential post-tensioned slab-on-ground in Central Texas in the mid-1960's, MLAW's principals have contributed to the engineering literature, software, and widely accepted design manuals, setting industry standards for foundations on residential and light commercial building projects.
We have been providing services to home builders, general contractors, architects, and individuals since 1964, and our list of clients keeps growing. I have been using MLAW to engineer my foundation and framing plans almost exclusively for 24 years. They are thorough and conservative with their designs.
Attention to detail during the design phase means fewer delays, allowing a shorter construction schedule. A properly engineered structure is built more efficiently with less material waste. The MLAW team can size selected wood or steel structural members, design the entire framed structure, or consult with you to achieve your goals.

We had revisions to the engineered plans for our addition foundation made that ended up not being correct. The materials were purchased in reliance on the plans but ended up being too short. We were forced to reorder certain materials due to this error. Upon bringing it up with the firm, I was told that in spite of this error, the fine print absolved them of responsibility and they would not reimburse me for the added expenses we incurred due to the error. I would have expected a company whose clients rely on their specialized expertise to be responsible and help make things right- not letting

BE WARE: This company lies, cheats and steals to get ahead. I worked for the drilling department under Shauna (she's a snake) as my supervisor. She DID NOT inform me a class B CDL is required to drive the drill rigs at my interview and I took the job at $14hr. A year into my job I found out from a CDL instructor that ANY vehicle with air brakes requires this license. I told Shauna about this and she told me to keep quiet. On October 29,2019 I flipped and rolled a rig between Fredericksburg and Stonewall Texas. I should have been driving the beautiful F250 (drillers get to drive the chaser

Not very helpful. Wife and I were interested in foundation plans for our 7000 sq ft house. They gave us price and never got back to me about questions we had. I took 3 tries for someone to try to answer my questions. Then they said the engineer would call me back, its been 1 week and still no response. Over priced and bad service overall.
