This is an overview of architecture, engineering, residential and commercial building designers, and architectural forensics consultants, Childress Engineering. We work on a variety of projects, from forensic consulting on the Cowboys Stadium cave-in, to building schools for the children of Cleburne ISD. Our specialty is curtainwall design, a unique architectural school of design that provides more natural light, deeper into buildings, frees up floor space vs. traditional building design, and looks modern and beautiful.

Glass and aluminum form most
curtainwalls. Prior to
Aluminum’s adoption in the
