About Us

Expert Witness Licensed Professional Engineer Glass Glazing Building Envelope

Stewart P. Jeske, P.E. Founder

Stewart Jeske, P.E. created JEI Structural Facade Engineering & Drafting during a time of soul searching.  He knew he needed a niche area of structural engineering and 2003 offered that opportunity.  Glazing system codes began changing quickly, requiring more P.E stamps and more complicated designs requiring specialized engineering experience; not taught in any major U.S. university.

This high performing team of glass & glazing façade engineering experts emerged.
