Earthquake and Structures, Inc.

Experienced firm providing a professional service.

Arrived on time as scheduled , was very knowledgeable and gave excellent advice, thank you!

Mr. Paul showed up exactly on time, provided an inspection and assessment of my home project, was professional and knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. He provided outstanding customer service, and I would highly recommend him. Excellent! M. Wolfe Oakland, CA .

Was ok, he did not seem to get all the way underneath our house to check structure. He said he could tell from what he saw just by opening the crawl space.

Knowledgeable. Super friendly. Quick assessment.

Excellent inspection. Mr. Paul was very knowledgeable and recommended how to fix all my problems. Thank you

They came in and clearly gave me an evolution of my situation. They advised I would be okay, and if I wanted I could do the minor self repair myself to the foundation and what materials to use. I am going to hire them to knock down a load bearing wall. Those guys are awesome.

My meeting with Mr.Paul was very educational. He provided use with a wealth of information about our structure and planned project. I highly recommend this service.

Hired this company to inspect retrofit work and verify that our house was in compliance with the earthquake standards required by our earthquake insurance in order to receive a discount. We passed the inspection and all was well. I believe that you should pay for the expertise and education behind it and did not feel that we were overcharged. I was a little irritated however that Mr. Paul approached me with a defensive attitude about what he did and what he charged that turned my asking any questions about his services into an argumentative dialogue. I can imagine that his stance comes from a number of unpleasant encounters over the years with people who don't realize that the expertise and the license he brings to his work is what you are paying for, not just the time he has to spend on your project, but he needs to develop an elevator talk for the uninitiated that doesn't end up making his client feel guilty for asking about how he charges.

Hired Mr.Paul for a Structural Engineer report under a very tight deadline and he went above and beyond to accommodate my clients time frame needs for a real estate transaction. It was a pleasure working with him and I will definitely call him in the future for my clients that are in need of his services.

Very thorough in their inspection and provide precise and solid documentation.

Hired BK for a consultation on structural modifications to ridge beam roof. Very prompt service. Quickly evaluated it for me. Would use his firm again.

Initial home advisor email response was poorly written and somewhat off-putting. I'm glad we gave them a try though as they really hustled to help us make a tight deadline and our submitted plans were approved immediately. I recommend their service.

The man from Bangladesh had little knowledge of building construction and suggested ineffective or uneccesary proposals. He was extremely unprofessional and quite unqualified, and charged $100 more per building than the next firm that I hired. They were REAL structural engineers. I'm an engineer myself and know one when I see one. Do your customers a favor and take him off your list. Nick J

They were very prompt and professional in coming out and giving me their advise on a retaining wall problem. Their written report was excellent.

We have only had one meeting so far. He was very responsive and very professional. I cannot fully rate him till the proect is complete.

Funny guy with very thick accent. Didn't inspire confidence, but knew the catalog numbers for the Simpson metal parts off the top of his head. Came up with a practical and cost effective solution. One contractor wanted $6300 to fix the damage, the engineer came up with a plan that will cost about $1000. He called us later because he was worried about us and wanted to make sure things were going well. Ended up a great experience.

Bishwendu was very profressional and helped us find a practical solution. We have his card now and I am sure we will be calling him again for help in our projects in the future.

Working with BK was very enjoyable. He was very professional and timely. The plans he created for us were accepted by the city no problem. He was always easy to get ahold of and worked around our schedule. I would definately recommend ESI.

Very low fee for the initial inspection to determine which are my load bearing walls. Turned out we won't need architectural and engineering plans for our project, but if we did they can provide both. Very knowledgeable and honest. Understand what the client is trying to accomplish.

Biswindu did and excellent job in preparing plans for a roof I was trying to get legalized. He was punctual in our meetings, knowledgeable about his craft and building codes etc. He offered good ideas and steered me in a direction that ultimately allowed me to accomplish my goal and save a significant amount of money. I will not hesitate to call on ESI the next time I need engineering services.

B K Paul did a very good job. He is very thorough and knowledgeable. I even asked him for referral to the job needed and he did send names and phone numbers.

Very professional. Accurately diagnosed the issue.

Very experience and knowledgeable about the building structures and codes. The drawings are clear and easy to follow. Getting the permit from city was a breeze. Job well done.

I had only an inital inspection and informal opinion. He seems very knowledgeable.
