Design & Engineering in Latrobe, PA
JP Construction does design and engineering in Latrobe and the rest of Westmoreland County. Licensed and insured, with free estimates.
Structural engineering, drawings, and permit management with the local municipality.
Latrobe and the surrounding Unity Township give us two kinds of work: additions and garages on the older city streets, and pole buildings, custom homes, and commercial projects on the rural land outside town. We have been doing design and engineering here since 2015, and the same project manager runs your job from the first site visit to the final inspection.

Design & Engineering Built for Latrobe Properties
A few things come up again and again on Latrobe jobs: older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition, and rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates. We plan for both before we price the work, and we know what the local building department wants to see on a permit application, which keeps the review from dragging on.
Common challenges we address here
- Older city homes on stone foundations that need a look before an addition
- Rural Unity properties on well and septic that need utility locates
- Lots that slope toward the Loyalhanna and need drainage planning
Seasonal Considerations
Latrobe gets more snow than the communities closer to Pittsburgh, and the spring thaw saturates rural soils. Pads and foundations go in best once things dry out in late spring.

JP Construction managed our architect coordination and permit applications for a complex addition. Everything was submitted correctly the first time and approved without a single revision request. Smooth process.
Our project sat stalled for months because of permit issues before we found JP Construction. They sorted out the documentation, resubmitted, and had approvals in hand within three weeks. Wish we had called them first.
