Attention to details of Soft Story retrofit work by Sinai Construction


The significance of paying attention to intricate details that are often overlooked cannot be overstated. Take, for example, the welded piece delicately positioned on the rebar cage, which forms the very foundation of the entire structure. Despite their seemingly minor nature, these components are indispensable in guaranteeing the overall security and stability of the building. While the rebar offers reinforcement by binding, the contribution of each individual piece is paramount in safeguarding a soft story building.



When it comes to a soft story retrofit, the process entails strengthening a multi-unit building with under parking, which is susceptible to structural vulnerabilities and incapable of enduring lateral forces like those encountered during an earthquake. Our team of experts meticulously evaluates these structures by scrutinizing the current support framework and the number of units positioned above the soft story level, ensuring that every aspect is thoroughly examined for optimal safety and resilience.


Through this detailed assessment and meticulous approach, we aim to enhance the structural integrity of these buildings, fortifying them against potential risks and bolstering their ability to withstand unforeseen challenges. By addressing these critical aspects, we not only prioritize the safety of the occupants but also contribute to the longevity and durability of the entire structure, fostering a secure environment for years to come. Contact us for your soft story retrofit and we will send one of our experts to answer all of your inquiries. Call (323)655.0960 today.
