Company Overview

Company History

CSD Structural Engineers was original founded as Computerized Structural Design (CSD) in 1968 after an incredible

opportunity became available. It was at this time that Collins Engineers / Stevens Construction decided to change

focus and leave the engineering field. This left many of their clients without a structural engineering firm to turn to.

At the same time, two local professors, Don Buettner and LeRoy Lutz, at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee

decided to leave the world of academia and return to the professional practice of structural engineering. As they

became aware of the changes at Collins, they stepped in to fill the void. Soon after, Jim Fisher joined the firm,

providing a balance of academics and practical engineering to the firm.

With the existing relationships with the former Collins Engineers, Stevens Construction, ties to academia, and a drive

towards providing uncompromising excellence in engineering—the future success of CSD was certain.

CSD has made a name for itself working with local clients and nationally recognized firms by providing structural

engineering and building design services. Every project is different, but CSD works to provide economical and

practical solutions for all of our clients. This level of service has helped to build lasting relationships with many of

our clients. We strive to be more than just a part of the project team, but a reliable resource for many years to

come.

CSD prides itself on their beginnings and continues, to this day, to provide excellence in engineering as our founders

would expect.

Industrial Buildings

CSD provides a wide range of capabilities for industrial clients for the design of new facilities and the renovation of

existing facilities. Special expertise in the design of crane buildings, foundries, warehouses, pre-engineered

buildings, cold-storage food processing buildings, and machine foundations has led CSD to national recognition in

these areas.

We consider the design of each industrial building a new challenge; however, we recognize that the design must

evolve from proven concepts and criteria. We understand that the requirements for each industrial project are

unique and that the manufacturing process is paramount. The building must serve the production operation. We also

recognize the importance of a quality, well designed, yet cost effective building. Our experience with industrial

buildings makes us responsive to the needs of our client for these projects.
