About Us

“Our goal is to continually maintain one-to-one relationships with clients and remain hands-on from start to finish.”
Christopher P. Hillman – Owner of C|P|H Structural Engineering Inc.

C|P|H History

CPHFrontC|P|H Structural Engineering, Inc. was founded in the Lone Star State in 2012 by Christopher P. Hillman with a desire to always maintain a direct one-on-one relationship with clients and remain hands-on in performing his structural practice. Since beginning in 1999, his experience has included residential, commercial, healthcare, education, and industrial structures and encompassed the full breadth of building design and construction. Mr. Hillman has performed comprehensive building design, including architecture and structural systems, and has managed consultant teams throughout the design and construction process. He is a licensed professional engineer in Texas and maintains professional registration in several other states.

In addition to being licensed in the great state of Texas, we are also licensed in 10 other states and have performed design work across the United States and abroad.

Our Values – Put Into Action

We value: Innovation and Excellence, Efficiency and Accuracy, Service to Community, Faith and Charity, Dependability and Reliability. We are continually inspired to reflect, assess and improve who we are as individuals and as a team. Providing the best quality product, AND the best service experience for our clients is our goal.

Some firms focus 100% of their efforts into the design process, thus neglecting the construction phase of a project. It seems to us that things can be done better, and we aim to do it. Rather than limiting our services to a single stage of development, we remain an active participant until project completion. We create cohesive, build-able and successful designs by dedicating ourselves to both phases of a project. We achieve this through expert design and engineering, proactive and positive management of the project through its entirety, and responsible and timely presentation to our customers.
