Get matched with top structural engineers in Monte Sereno, CA

"Davendra is an impressive individual by resume and a real pleasure to work with. He is very professional and knowledgeable, but also did very detailed and complete work which resulted in a permit without changes. He did this promptly for a reasonable price. I would certainly hire him again if I needed a structural engineer."

"Very honest engineer. He performed a mandatory seismic inspection that was required for the city of Hayward. There was no foundation issue whatsoever. Before Mr Padir did the inspection I had a retrofit company look at my building and they told me it would cost $58k to fix the problem and I almost fell for it. It turns out that one joist was rotten from a sewer leak that was repaired. It is hard to find honest people these days. I am so glad it is only a cosmetic fix and a sister joist installed next to it to relieve the pressure on the building. Thank you once again Mr. Padir. Excellent job and quick turnaround."

"Very experienced structural engineer who could analyze our rooftop deck and give us a plan for doing the roof and hotub of our dreams!"

"Rich has completed several projects in the past and plans breezed through plan check, I did not use him for this project because of engineering requirements in the job. ."

"Upon purchasing our home, we were greeted by a peculiar layout in the master bathroom: an uncomfortably small shower directly facing the toilet, flanked by a cabinet and closet on the left. In our quest for a remodel, we invited 5-6 contractors for proposals, yet it was Daniel who stood out by presenting an ingenious solution. His proposal not only significantly enlarged the shower space but also optimized the overall layout, demonstrating his exceptional expertise. Consequently, we entrusted Daniel with our remodeling project. Throughout the renovation, Daniel, along with his team members Nick and Jorge, exhibited remarkable dedication and craftsmanship, culminating in flawless execution. Although the project extended slightly beyond the initial timeline, the quality of their work affirmed its value. They were consistently receptive to our ideas and queries, ensuring open communication and addressing any specific requests we had. Moreover, their respect for our home was evident, as they diligently protected our floors with rugs and shielded the bedroom with plastic film. I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel and his team for their professionalism, skill, and consideration. They will undoubtedly be our first choice for any future remodeling endeavors."

"Mr. Arbel is designed a retirement center remodeling in Cupertino for us and he was very thorough, professional and on time. I recommend him for anyone who needs an architect."

"Mark Brand asked all of the right questions and worked tirelessly with the city permit department to make sure everything we wanted to do would be approved. Beyond being amazing on the phone with the city, his design fit with our mid-century home and anyone who has seen it is amazed at the transformation of our small back yard. We started this project with Mark in 2019, long before COVID-19, and completed the major construction in October of 2020. The actual construction began in May 2020 with demo, to completion in October 2020. Mark and his staff were with us through the entire process, communicating with our Contractor and Pool installer and keeping everyone in the loop and on track. I had never worked with an architect before, and feel grateful that my first experience was with Mark Brand and his team. Fees are explained up front, and although the fees were a healthy part of our budget, I know I got what I paid for! Communication with email and phone calls, as well as site visits were always timely, with any issues explained and problems worked through and resolved to avoid delays."

"Very well, their experience and professionalism helped us through the design and permit/approval process, the home is beautiful."

"I highly recommend this company. All projects are always completed on time, and communication is excellent. I’m always kept informed about what’s happening with the project and what stage it’s at. Whenever I have questions or need an update, they respond quickly and clearly. They are reliable, professional, and very easy to work with."

"Shilpa working with her structural engineer completed all the architectural and structural plans and calculations for a 400SF single story addition, complete with drilled piers and grade beams, in just over two months for submittal to City for review. Shilpa is very easy to work with and is quite readily available to fit my work and project schedule. Shilpa is very responsive to my comments and timely completion of required documents. Cost is reasonable. City has few review comments and issued permit for construction. I would definitely retain Shilpa again when the need comes up."
