The structural engineering team at Axiom Consultants, a division of Ruekert & Mielke, delivers safe, budget-conscious designs with a practical, solutions-based approach. Our goal is not to over-design a structure, but to provide what is needed in terms of code, safety, and client needs—balancing the three to ensure the best fit for each project. We specialize in various material types, ensuring that every design is tailored to the unique requirements of the job.

What sets us apart is our in-house collaboration with civil, mechanical, and electrical teams, allowing us to streamline coordination and expedite project completion. With a strong field and construction background, we’ve earned a reputation for solid planning, design, and project delivery across the Midwest, providing smart solutions that keep projects on track and within budget.
