What is a SPRINGPOINT?
Arches, vaults, and domes are some of the earliest structural elements capable of spanning great heights and distances, creating space, shelter, and a uniquely beautiful form. A springpoint is the location from which these forms begin to rise off of their solid supports; into and over space.
who is SPRINGPOINT STRUCTURAL?
Springpoint Structural was founded in 2018 by Craig Swift, focusing on providing structural engineering services for historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and creative and unique new construction projects.
In 2021, Springpoint acquired and merged with Fox + Associates, a structural engineering firm founded in 1992 by Clive Fox. The Fox team has extensive experience with innovative higher-education and K-12 construction projects among numerous other projects types.
The combined teams now operate seamlessly as Springpoint Structural, bringing our knowledge of both modern structural technology and archaic structural construction to all projects on which we collaborate.
Springpoint is a Virginia SWaM Small and Micro business.
