Licensed Engineers. Custom-Built Technology. American-Based.
FoundationPE combines licensed Professional Engineers with proprietary, purpose-built AI to deliver PE-stamped foundation packages faster and more accurately than traditional firms. Every team member is based in the United States. Every output is reviewed by a licensed PE.
Why We Built This.
Every pre-engineered metal building requires a separately engineered foundation. No major manufacturer includes it. So every builder in the country has to find a local engineer, wait 2–4 weeks, and pay whatever that engineer decides to charge — with no published pricing, no consistency, and no accountability.
Jaiden T. Olsen, PE saw this bottleneck on every project. Buildings sitting on trailers. Permits delayed. Clients frustrated. Not because the engineering was hard — but because the delivery model was broken.
FoundationPE was built to fix it. One dedicated engineering firm, licensed in 47 states, with custom-built technology that compresses a 2–4 week process into days. Flat-rate pricing. Complete packages. Real people. Every time.
Custom-Built. Not Off-the-Shelf.
Our engineering acceleration system was custom-built by a dedicated software engineer specifically for structural foundation engineering. It is not a wrapper around ChatGPT. It is not an off-the-shelf AI tool. It is a permanent, proprietary platform purpose-built for this exact work.
The system uses two independent AI engines. The first generates the engineering package. The second audits it — acting as an independent review layer that catches errors the first system cannot see. This dual-system architecture produces a level of internal quality assurance that no single-engineer review can match.
