Why Shock and AWe?
S&A stands for Shock and Awe — a mindset as much as a name.
Our structures are built to absorb stress, defy failure, and earn trust. That’s engineering. The awe comes from how we work: clear communication, smart decisions, and zero nonsense

Our Story
Arei James launched S&A to bring sharp, responsive engineering to projects that matter. Doesn’t matter if it’s new construction, adaptive reuse, or a tense moment on a job site. We think fast, draw clean, and make sure you never have to second-guess the structural side of your project.
With over a decade of experience, she has historical success with a vast range of projects spanning many industries. Having knowledge working with different partners such as owners, contractors, architects, and fabricators, our goal is to be a team player providing structural success.
