Mike Bouchard - Masshousecalls

Val served on our town's fire station building committee. He solved many problems that our paid engineers couldn't. He is a tremendous asset to the town, a terrific committee member and all around great guy!

      Semi-retired with my one-man firm conducting structural engineering for residential and small commercial-industrial buildings. Though specializing in wood and timber framed buildings, I also design with steel, aluminum and concrete. I limit myself to an hour's ride from Groton, MA. It is not economical for clients to have me travel farther. Click on Company Website below to see publications I have written or co-written.
