Structural Engineering, when performed correctly, enhances the form that the Architect has devised. HEAD of Engineering was created to assist attorneys, insurance companies, contractors, architects, engineers, owners and developers - as an independent set of eyes - in determining whether designs meet code minimums and the standard practice in the industry and, on occasion, perform forensic investigations into causes of failure of a facility to perform as was intended.

On the rare occasions when codes or standards are not met, structural materials are under strength, extraordinary loads are experienced on the structure or safety methods on site prove to be inadequate, we are available to help attorneys, insurance companies, contractors, architects, engineers, owners and developers to determine the reasons that the structural systems under-performed and, where possible, how to efficiently return the facility to fulfill its intended function.

​Michael C. Head, PE, LEED AP BD+C formed HEAD of Engineering, LLC to give the legal, design and construction communities an experienced option when problems (opportunities even) arise on a project.

​He has more than 35 years of structural engineering analysis, design and project/construction management experience throughout Saudi Arabia and the United States ranging from the design of new facilities and forensic investigations to renovation and retrofitting of existing structures in the GMP, Design/Bid and Design/Bid/Build delivery method.

In these 35+ years he has been primarily engaged in the design and construction of building structures. During that time he has seen the good and the bad, what works and what doesn't and seen the design and the construction processes change dramatically.

His investigation, design and construction experience make him highly qualified to engage in forensic investigations and address a court as an expert witness.

Consequently, he has taken this next step in his career to assist the design, construction and legal communities in analyzing problems and determining how to address and solve them.

Mr. Head was formerly Senior Structural Engineer in the Atlanta office of Heery International, a full service architectural, engineering, project management and construction management company with offices throughout the USA.

At TLC Engineering for Architecture, a multi-disciplinary firm (MEPS) in 12 offices in Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee he was a Principal/Partner and Senior Structural Engineer where he served as Chairman of TLC’s Structural Committee.

He was responsible for the day-to-day development of projects from proposal to preliminary design through preparation of contract documents through construction to project completion. His contributions include client liaison, managing the design team, engineering design, coordination of drafting, specification preparation, coordination with contractors and other disciplines, scheduling, shop drawing review and resolution of construction related issues on a wide range of projects using structural steel, composite steel, cast-in-place concrete, post-tensioned concrete, precast concrete, concrete masonry, steel studs and timber.

As Structural EOR of the Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts in Orlando, he managed TLC’s design and CAD staff in addition to two minority structural sub-consultants and ARUP who served as theater sub-consultant to TLC as well as coordinating with three architectural firms (3 AOR’s) on this $240 million project.

​His work experience at Stanley D. Lindsey and Associates Ltd, Brittingham and Associates, O'Kon and Company, Omrania (UK), Ltd and Ove Arup and Partners (now ARUP) also included many prestigious and complicated projects and forensic investigations.

He is a registered professional engineer in 12 States and Washington, D.C.,  a registered Special Inspector in Florida and a LEED Accredited Professional.

His diverse portfolio includes aircraft hangars, airline terminals, apartment complexes, arenas, central utility plants, churches, concert halls, convention centers, educational facilities, medical facilities, gymnasiums, hotels, laboratories, manufacturing plants, low and high-rise office buildings, parking decks, performing arts centers and radiation treatment plants and multiple forensic investigations.

​His clients have included military and government agencies, universities and school boards, private developers, international airports and air carriers, banks, media corporations, hospitals and hotel chains, attorneys, developers, property owners and insurance companies.
