Why You Should Learn The Fundamentals of Structural Engineering?
Structural engineering is a vital skill for everyone involved in construction, no matter if you’re a professional, an investor, or a building owner.
It’s what adds bones and muscles to buildings, keeps them from collapsing, and makes them safe to use. Most importantly, it builds solutions for real-world problems that won’t go away, regardless of how much we advance our technology and science.
That not only makes structural engineering an unavoidable part of every construction process… but also one of the most in-demand, money-making skills of the future.
It’s a skill that sends clients flocking your way and saves you a ton of money you’d spend on hiring another engineer, wasteful back-and-forth communication, and endless project reiterations.
And yes, it will also save you headaches and money-draining issues caused by miscommunication with your engineers—because we’ll teach you how to speak our language and make better engineering decisions yourself.

Meet Your Structural Engineering Basics Instructors
Hi. We’re Noah and Mostafa.
It feels like you and your structural engineers just don’t speak the same language. You’re excluded from the project. They’re disgruntled.
Frustration builds up, unnecessary problems crop up, and, before you know it, your project turns into a nightmare.
As professional structural engineers, we have had thousands of encounters with clients and partners. Once we realized how many headaches and money-draining issues miscommunication can cause during construction, we knew we had to do something about it.
That’s why 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 insider tips that we used on several projects during our careers, such as a 14-story apartment building in Winnipeg and one of the world’s tallest buildings—a Royal Mecca Tower in Saudi Arabia.
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 contractors 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!

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.”
