HAWA Engineering P.C. is a licensed structural engineering, architecture, and inspection firm approaching its twenty-fifth year of practice across the tri-state area.

Our work spans the full range of the region's building stock, from single-family homes on Long Island to commercial developments and high-rise towers in Manhattan, and the same documentation and oversight applies whatever the size of the job. Inspection, design, filing, and construction administration are handled by the same team, so a project does not change hands as it moves from identifying a problem to resolving it.

What distinguishes the practice is where our people come from. Our principal, Waseem Hakeem, P.E., brings over twenty-five years of experience on New York City projects, and he and several senior staff came up through construction before moving to the design side. That background shapes what we draw: we know how a repair gets sequenced, what a scope will demand of a contractor, and which details survive contact with a jobsite.

It also shapes how the work is run. Our principal reviews every project personally, from the first inspection through the final filing, so clients deal directly with the licensed professional accountable for it.

Our approach

What clients get from working with us.

Principal-led

Every inspection, drawing, and filing is reviewed by our principal. One point of accountability from the first site visit through sign-off.

Construction fluency

Our principal and senior staff came up through construction. We design repairs that can be built, and we understand the trades, sequencing, and logistics a scope will demand.

Credentials in house

Licensed engineers, QEWIs for facade inspections, QPSIs for parking structures, special inspectors, and expeditors on staff. Work stays with us from assessment through filing.

Realistic expectations up front

Because we have built as well as designed, we can tell you early what a job will involve: the scope it really takes, how it sequences, and how long it runs. Fewer surprises once the work starts.

Quick check

Which inspections apply to your building?

Five questions. This is general guidance rather than a compliance determination, but it will tell you what to ask us about.
