"Mr. Deshwal helped us with the architecture and structural engineering in our home remodel project. He helped us with the permit process and getting our designs iterated and approved with the City of Sunnyvale on time. He also helped with an addition of the master suite. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had several changes in our requirements along the way, and Mr. Deshwal was very flexible and supportive. We are very satisfied with his work and highly recommend him"

"Working with Francisco and his team was amazing! From start to finish, they made the whole process of remodeling my house so easy and stress-free. Francisco really listened to what I wanted and came up with creative ideas. He was very responsive and always kept me in the loop. The final result is even better than I imagined. My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

Customers say: True professional

"We met Mike at the San Jose homeshow.  He seemed like he had a lot of experience.  We liked the idea that everything was handled in house, from design and engineering to building. 
Mike was great at returning calls, follow-up and making an appointment.  My husband and I had basic plans we had created showing the idea of our project and were trying to get an idea of if we could afford to start the project.
We made an appointment for Mike to come by.  He called when he was supposed to arrive to let us know he was running late but would be there.  When he arrived, he seemed like he was already off to his next appointment.  He was very much in a hurry.  He did a lot of talking about his ideas, but not a lot of listening as to what we were thinking.  He did have some great ideas as to what he would do with the project.  He dismissed the research we had already done on the project.
After this brief meeting, he took the drawings we had prepared and told us he'd get back to us with an estimate for architectural and structural engineering services.   He never got back to us.  We didn't follow-up with him because we didn't feel like we would be a good fit.

Mike gave me a call after seeing my review on Yelp and on Angie's List.  He apologized for my experience and explained that his mother passed away shortly after our meeting.  Due to his mother's passing he needed to take care of many of her affairs and deal with family matters.  I hadn't contacted him again as I decided we wouldn't be a good fit so knew nothing of his family circumstances.  He had misplaced my contact information.  Once he saw this review he could find me again and called me to apologize for this experience.  He offered some services with reduced rates to make up for my experience.  He also asked me to update this review.

I feel like Mike was sincere and apologetic and was really wanting to make things right.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
