Licensed Engineers. Custom-Built Technology. American-Based.
FoundationPE combines licensed Professional Engineers with proprietary, purpose-built AI to deliver PE-stamped foundation packages faster and more accurately than traditional firms. Every team member is based in the United States. Every output is reviewed and certified by a licensed PE.
Why We Built This.
Every pre-engineered metal building requires a separately engineered foundation. No major manufacturer includes it. So every builder in the country has to find a local engineer, wait 2–4 weeks, and pay whatever that engineer decides to charge — with no published pricing, no consistency, and no accountability.
Jaiden T. Olsen, PE saw this bottleneck on every project during his years running Ballpark Engineering — a structural engineering firm he founded in 2008 that has completed over 675 projects across multiple states. Buildings sitting on trailers. Permits delayed. Clients frustrated. Not because the engineering was hard — but because the delivery model was broken.
FoundationPE was built to fix it. One dedicated engineering firm, licensed in 47 states, with custom-built technology that compresses a 2–4 week process into days. Flat-rate pricing. Complete packages. Real people. Every time.
Built on a Decade of Engineering Experience
FoundationPE was founded by Jaiden T. Olsen, PE — the same licensed Professional Engineer behind Ballpark Engineering, a structural engineering firm established in 2008 with over 675 completed projects. FoundationPE applies that same engineering rigor to a specific, underserved problem: getting permit-ready foundation packages to metal building contractors and manufacturers faster than anyone else in the industry.

Custom-Built. Not Off-the-Shelf.
Our engineering acceleration system was custom-built by a dedicated software engineer specifically for structural foundation engineering. It is not a wrapper around ChatGPT. It is not an off-the-shelf AI tool. It is a permanent, proprietary platform purpose-built for this exact work.
The system uses two independent AI engines. The first generates the engineering package. The second audits it — acting as an independent review layer that catches errors the first system cannot see. This dual-system architecture produces a level of internal quality assurance that no single-engineer review can match.

The Team Behind Every Stamp
Licensed engineers and dedicated support staff \u2014 every one of us based in the United States.
Jaiden T. Olsen, PE
Principal Engineer & Founder
Licensed Professional Engineer and founder of FoundationPE. Jaiden started Ballpark Engineering in 2008 with a drafting table and a commitment to making structural engineering faster, more accessible, and more accountable. After completing over 675 projects and watching the same foundation bottleneck stall metal building projects for years, he built FoundationPE to solve it — one dedicated firm with custom-built technology, licensed in 47 states, designed to deliver permit-ready foundation packages in days instead of weeks.
Leadership
Joshua Miller, PE
Director of Communications
Licensed Professional Engineer overseeing how FoundationPE communicates with manufacturers, contractors, and the broader metal building industry.
