This Earth Day, we’re proud to celebrate projects that move us toward a more sustainable future 🌎🌱

Shear Structural collaborated with on ASHRAE’s Net Zero Headquarters, designed with energy performance and environmental responsibility at its core. This renovation project is a great example of how integrated design and engineering can reduce impact while delivering strong, lasting structures. Projects like this reflect our commitment to building smarter, and for the next generation (and our planet).

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT: Strategic Rebrand 🚨

After a thorough financial review… we’ve identified an opportunity.

Effective immediately, we will be dropping the “AR” from our name.

Introducing: SHE Structural

Why the change?
• AR (Accounts Receivable) felt… aspirational
• “SHE” better reflects who we are—proudly one of Georgia’s only women-owned structural engineering firms

Turns out, removing “AR” improves both our branding and our balance sheet (theoretically?).

Same team. Same structures. Slightly stronger cash position.
