Miles has experience in structural design and detailing of residential and commercial structures. He has designed and managed projects including:

• custom single-family residences,

• multi-family apartment and condo complexes,

• commercial facilities, warehouses, and

• ancillary structures (retaining walls, screen walls, and swimming pools)

Utilizing a variety of building materials including dimensional lumber, engineered wood products, masonry, concrete, rolled steel, and light-gauge steel.

He has designed the following types of structural systems and performed construction phase observations to verify plan compliance for:

• steel,

• masonry,

• wood and concrete superstructures,

• conventional and post-tensioned ground supported foundations,

• conventional and post-tensioned elevated foundation systems,

• pier-and-beam foundations,

• masonry and concrete ground-supported or elevated retaining walls and screen walls, and

• ground supported or elevated pools.

This design experience has given him a greater understanding of what is required during the design process so he can effectively evaluate structures for construction and design defects, along with natural perils.
