Redefining the Built Environment

About TváṢṬṚ Consulting

TváṢṬṚ Consulting LLC, (estd. 2021), specializes in providing sound structural engineering solutions for all building and non-building structures with emphasis on the intricacies of modern-day architecture. 

The practice is led by Mr. Viswanath Urala, P.E., who has over 17 years of diverse portfolio of creative projects, with layers of knowledge assimilated from consulting in core structural engineering, multi-disciplinary engineering, BIM management, and from contractor’s perspectives with IPD experience.

Our Success Mantra

“Begin with the end in mind!” Where other engineers would let a contractor deal with methods and means, we think ahead on selected system, fabrication, shipping, and other cost impacts and make clients aware of those challenges early on and help with the decision-making processes. 

"Create & Innovate!” Our creative solutions come from the use of modern innovative methods of parametric modeling and optimization techniques built upon by the industry knowledge of material limitations such as availability, fabrication tolerances, shipping, hauling and installation challenges. 

“Follow the wave of the Future!” We constantly are fine tuning and enhancing the digital workflows based on industry’s current data and future trends and have the flexibility to scale them to suit the project demands from concept, schematic, design development, construction documentation to completion.

Who We Serve

TváṢṬṚ fills in the gaps left behind by big engineering firms and tend to focus on the client needs for projects of any size or scale at any stage. 

Our strength is in Building Envelope systems and with lots of experience from a façade contractor’s perspective such as, system selection, material efficiency, weather barrier, noise and heat gain characteristics, quality control on contractor’s installation and workmanship. 

Apart from façade engineering, we also undertake secondary structural design for the building enclosure, handrails, glass rails, skylight & canopies, fabric enclosures, fabric sails, ETFE cladding, equipment support and anchorage, for all construction projects. 

We work with Architects, Engineers, Fabricators, and Contractors helping them as necessary using innovative methods, not limited to parametric modeling, but also design that is personalized to the need with the promise of providing quick and concise solutions.
