Forum Engineers was formed in 1994. We started out by providing plan review service to the building departments around Puget Sound area. Within a year, we added structural engineering service to builders, architects, and developers. Our engineering service was focused on residential and light commercial wood buildings. Through our engineering and plan review projects, we developed software (mainly in the form of Excel spreadsheets) to increase our accuracy and productivity. These spreadsheets have been updated day be day and some of them became quite powerful and user-friendly. We finally decided to market our spreadsheets in November 2001. You may order the spreadsheets from our "software" web page or download and use the ones we put on our "download" page.

It has been fun to provide the above-mentioned services and products to our friends and customers (they all eventually become my friends). We appreciate the opportunity to be of personal assistance to all of you.
