The visionary behind Technika Engineering
Chris Wigginton, PE
Principal Engineer & Founder
Chris founded Technika in 2013 upon returning to Charleston after co-owning a successful multi-disciplinary consulting engineering firm in Atlanta since 2006. Chris's background and experience with all aspects of residential and light commercial construction and design, with a continued focus on complex residential engineering designs, gives him a unique perspective on the necessary engineering principles for these projects. Chris founded Technika in Charleston with a focus on historic structures, working side by side with some of Charleston's premier architects to create award-winning designs. Chris personally manages each project and serves as the primary point of contact for the company as it continues to grow, now completing projects all over the Southeast.
