DESIGN THE IMPOSSIBLE

Structural clarity meets creative vision

We partner with homeowners, architects, and builders to bring bold ideas to life. Whether you're designing for complex terrain or navigating city approvals, we deliver detailed, code-compliant structural plans that turn vision into a buildable reality.

Designed with vision. Detailed with precision.

At Dana Structural, we bring bold visions to life through custom drafting and structural plan design for modern homes, hillside builds, additions, and fire rebuilds across Los Angeles and Southern California. Every plan is tailored, permit-ready, and rooted in clarity, creativity, and compliance.

Founded by Dana Elshaich, a trusted voice in residential structural drafting with 15+ years of hands-on experience, our woman-owned studio blends precision with purpose. Whether you're navigating city permits, reimagining a lot, or collaborating with an architect, we provide the structural roadmap to help your project rise—beautifully and soundly.
