Saiful Bouquet Structural Engineers

Saiful Bouquet Structural Engineers opened in Pasadena in 1997 with four people and has since become one of Southern California’s larger pure structural engineering firms. Its corporate office is now on South Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles, with a second office in San Diego. The firm designs structures for higher education, healthcare, civic and justice buildings, offices, sports venues and historic buildings, and it wants a say on cost and constructability, not just member sizes. It was structural engineer on the Robert Day Sciences Center at Claremont McKenna College, where rotated floors and big cantilevers called for heavy Vierendeel trusses. The building just won an ENR West Best Projects Award of Merit and a 2026 SEAOSC award.
