Evergreen Engineering - Code Evaluation and Consulting Services

Evergreen Engineering understands the intent of IBC/IFC family of codes. We have extensive knowledge of the older editions of UBC and BOCA codes as well. Therefore, we can evaluate existing facilities and forecast future expansion capabilities or any required upgrades. We also help identify cost-effective code compliance paths during design or construction phases of new facilities.
