About RCP & Associates

Principal
Richard C. Pierce

For every project we undertake, our principal, Richard C. Pierce provides leadership as a consulting structural engineer focusing on design, forensic, legal and non-design related commissions.

Richard has a strong background in designs with post-tensioned, conventionally reinforced, and precast concrete systems, structural steel framed systems, pier, piling and spread footing foundation systems and conventional wood framed buildings. That background also includes extensive work in historic restoration, preservation, repurposing and repairs of historic brick, concrete, heavy timber, and steel framed buildings.

Following a successful career leading Pierce Engineers, Inc. I formed RPA to continue to assist and help design/construction friends and colleagues with various issues encountered during design of difficult projects, or investigations into jobsite issues.

I’ve always considered my role as Structural Consultant to be one centered around problem solving, and not just manipulation of analytical methods, techniques and tools. I believe I have acquired an exhaustive set of experiences founding and directing a leading nationally focused structural engineering firm that has led to specific expertise that is immeasurably helpful when assessing design or construction issues.

Most clients result from long-time relationships developed over time, along with word-of-mouth referrals to others. I thoroughly enjoy helping people out and am humbled to be considered an asset to a client, project or case.”
