Soft-Story Retrofitting
Soft-story buildings—those with open parking or large openings on the ground floor—are especially vulnerable during seismic events. RLFC Construction, LLC offers specialized soft-story retrofitting throughout the Bay Area and Northern California to help property owners comply with local mandates and ensure safety. Our retrofit methods often include shear wall additions, steel moment frames, and other structural reinforcements that prevent collapse in a major quake.
If your multi-unit or mixed-use building falls into this category, don’t wait for the next big earthquake to expose its weaknesses. RLFC Construction provides thorough assessments, engineering coordination, and efficient execution that keeps tenants and operations in place. Let us help you meet compliance requirements while increasing the long-term security and value of your property.
