MLAW Engineers is a mid-sized structural engineering firm based in Austin, Texas, operating within the construction sector with a focus on foundations and related structural services for residential and commercial projects. The company offers a range of design and consulting services for single-family and multi-family housing as well as commercial developments, including foundation design, framing plans, energy rating and field testing, soils reports, geotechnical investigations, construction materials testing, inspections, lot fill testing, and forensic analysis. With an integrated approach often aligned with its geotechnical sister company, MLAW aims to streamline information flow and coordination across projects. Founded decades ago, MLAW traces its roots to early innovations in residential post-tensioned slab-on-ground design in Central Texas, and its principals have contributed to widely used design manuals and engineering literature. Its collaboration with MLA Geotechnical leverages extensive subsurface data—MLA Geotechnical has drilled over 500,000 borings—providing a long-running data foundation for foundation design in challenging soils. Over roughly sixty years, the firm has completed a substantial number of projects nationwide, reflecting its established position within the Texas structural engineering landscape.
