Structural Engineering Will Ignite Your Career and
Grow Your Business
Many architects say things like:
Why should I have to compromise my innovative design just to accommodate some structural engineer who is OVER designing?!
I wish I had a better understanding of HOW structural engineers make their decisions, so I could challenge their work & not have to waste so much time going back and forth!
What's taking the engineer so long?! Designing a structure shouldn't be so complicated!
But here’s the thing: no matter how much engineers are getting on your nerves, structural engineering matters and isn’t going anywhere.
Structures add muscles and bones to buildings, keep them from collapsing, and make them safe to use. This makes structures a vital part of every project, and knowledge of structural engineering a priceless skill to have.
So, you could keep fighting your engineers every step of the way and feeling lost during the design process… or you could embrace structural engineering, ignite your career, and grow your business instead.
Nowadays, your clients expect you to do SO much more than just the work you specialize in. They want all-around building experts that can execute and finish projects without issues coming up that costs them extra $$$.
They want architects that can do it all and take the project entirely off their plate—not architects that will force them to look for additional help and create new money-draining issues.
That’s where the Structural Engineering Basics course comes in.
Whether you’re a solo contractor or have a team, it will help you become irreplaceable at your workplace, position yourself as the leading construction expert in your region, and land more clients than you can handle.

Meet Your Instructors
Hi. We’re Noah and Mostafa.
Combined, we have over 20 years of practical experience as structural engineers. We work with architects, building owners, and contractors every day.
This made us realize how overwhelmed you feel just by just talking to structural engineers, let alone working side to side with them.
You don’t speak their language and they don’t speak yours.
You’re frustrated by delays and changes your engineers demand.
They’re frustrated by you, fellow professionals, not understanding their role.
We hear you—structural engineers can be difficult to understand, not to mention how unnecessarily complicated books and courses on structural engineering get…
Here’s the problem, though. If you want to send clients flocking your way and become the go-to person for all new projects in your area… you must learn our language.
Otherwise, you’ll be either pushed out by your better-informed competition, or experience a ton of headaches and unnecessary money-draining issues during design and construction.
To help you fight this, we dug up your most pressing questions and answered them in a simple, easy-to-understand language that we use throughout this comprehensive training.
We also shared some insider tips that helped architects with multiple projects during our careers.
You don’t need an engineering background to keep up with our lessons—or pay us thousands of dollars to enroll.
We made this course as affordable as possible, so that we can help as many architects like you understand their engineers better, save money and time, and enjoy their job more.

"I would like to thank Noah and Mostafa from the Structural Engineering Basics team who provided us with an amazing engineering course to my Powerblock team! I was looking for months for a course that can be easily understandable for my structural management crew so they can refresh their memory in all the engineering behind the structural elements on a home. And more importantly a perfect course for new hires. I feel like my company’s knowledge is stronger and I highly recommend any business doing shell construction, whether residential or commercial, to use these courses for their employees. Like they say.... Knowledge is power and we’re definitely more knowledgeable here at Powerblock Builders!

OWNER OF CONTRACTING FIRM
THIS COURSE HELPED MARKO UNDERSTAND THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIS NEW HOME.
“As a current homeowner and future homeowner of a newly built house, I feel that the videos and information provided by the Structural Engineering Basics team have empowered me to know more about the basic concepts and elements that incorporate the structural design of a house. This has educated me on the background and reasons for the design in question, but it has also allowed me to challenge and question particular aspects of the design for my new house. I have new found appreciation for structural engineering and would recommend this education series to any aspiring homeowner such as myself who wants to sleep better at night!”

THIS COURSE HELPED ANDY TRANSITION INTO HIS NEW ROLE AT WORK AFTER GRADUATING.
“As a recent graduate just starting out in structural engineering, this course was tremendously helpful for me to connect what I have learned in school with how it is applied in the real world. Noah and Mostafa's teaching style kept my attention and I liked being able to learn from professional engineers currently working in the industry. Thanks guys!”

THIS COURSE HELPED BEN STAND OUT IN MEETINGS AND ON SITE TO CLIENTS AND OWNERS.
“I am not going to lie, but when Noah reached out to me, I was skeptical at first. I didn't think that they could offer me anything that would be beneficial towards what I do as a Project Manager. But when I went through the course, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of content that provided value to what I do. The knowledge I gained made it easier to review drawings, communicate with structural engineers and complete site reviews.”
