About

KTA was founded by Kyle Twitchell in September 2018. KTA is a structural engineering firm that is headquartered in New York, NY. We pursue projects where we can apply our structural expertise to all facets of your project, whether this is structural design, façade consulting, special inspections, construction administration, forensic analysis, adjacent property representation, and contractor support. Since our founding, KTA has taken the value stance of approaching all projects as an architectural engineer. Working with all the stake holders on the project to collaboratively aim towards a finished project that everyone can be proud of. Above all else, we also keep in mind that the structures, buildings, homes and spaces, created through our work play a deep/impactful role in people’s lives.
