Secure Your Building with Soft Story Retrofitting from Sinai Construction

Stay Safe with Preventive Action

If you own a building in Los Angeles, especially one with a soft story structure, seismic safety should be a top priority. Soft story buildings—typically structures with open ground floors used for parking or retail—are especially vulnerable during earthquakes. At Sinai Construction, we specialize in soft story retrofitting to strengthen these weak points and help protect lives and property.

How Soft Story Retrofitting Works

Our retrofitting process focuses on reinforcing the open ground floor to withstand seismic forces. A key part of the solution involves:

• Steel Beams – Installed to create a solid structural frame that can handle lateral movement.

• Steel Straps – Used to securely tie the structural elements together, distributing the seismic load and minimizing damage.

This combination helps prevent collapse and ensures your building meets Los Angeles seismic retrofit requirements.

With years of experience retrofitting buildings throughout Los Angeles, Sinai Construction is a trusted name in structural safety. We understand the local codes, the risks, and how to get your retrofit done efficiently and correctly.

Don’t wait until after the next big quake to take action. Call Sinai Construction at (323) 655-0960 and schedule a consultation. We’ll help you secure your building and protect your investment—for today and for the future.
