Peace of Mind from the Right Team

Buildings have only grown more complex over time.

Proprietary building products have exploded in popularity, but most only see the sales pitch; few read the fine print. Expectations for structural performance have increased in tandem with real estate prices. However, most building practices remain firmly where they were 70 years ago; back when the average house cost less than the price of a modern mountain bike. The governing construction rules in Montana are notably lax, especially for residential construction, with enforcement lacking in over 90% of the state. The barrier to entry as a general contractor in the state of Montana is simply a small fee equivalent to the average tank of gas. Yet most people rely on the ‘expertise’ of their contractor to navigate these complex issues, despite the fact that real estate investment is the largest financial decision the average Montanan will make.

Our History

Providing Structural Condition Assessments to Montana and Surrounding States

After designing yellowcake uranium processing plants around the world, Samuel Hensler, PE, chose to relocate to Billings, MT, as his wife pursued a new career in the healthcare industry. During this relocation, he found employment with Eggart Engineering Company (EEC). Under the guidance of its founder, Quentin Eggart, PE, Sam began performing structural condition assessments of residential and commercial structures. This was a fascinating branch of engineering that Sam had not yet encountered. It involved astute observation, a deep understanding of construction practices from various eras, formulating hypotheses based on a solid knowledge of structural mechanics, testing those hypotheses with imperfect information, and using Sherlock-esque detective skills to reach conclusions. All of this required not only physical agility to maneuver through tight, precarious spaces but also social adeptness to communicate highly technical findings in simple terms to non-engineer clients. As a nerdy, rock-climbing, socialite engineer, Sam had found his calling.
After a few years of expanding EEC’s engineering consulting services, Sam realized that his role had become a distraction from EEC’s primary successful revenue stream—constructing metal buildings. After a long and open discussion with Mr. Eggart, they agreed that it would be best for Sam to practice his consulting services independently. Thus, in early 2018, Sam founded Dynamic Analysis, a forensic and structural engineering firm dedicated to structural analysis.
As demand for these services grew, Sam found skilled engineers who could fit the specific nuances required for condition assessment work. Samuel Bower, PE, joined Dynamic Analysis, bringing years of experience as a design engineer at Sanderson Stewart and as a project engineer at COP Construction. Later, Kyle Huss, PE, joined Dynamic Analysis after a long career involving explosive ordnance disposal for the US Army and rotating equipment engineering for Exxon and Phillips.
Today, Dynamic Analysis has grown into a five-employee forensic and structural engineering firm specializing in forensic analysis for the litigation, insurance, and real estate markets. With its core firmly rooted in forensic and failure analysis, Dynamic Analysis enhances its structural design process with a strong grasp of which building mechanics work best in different situations.
