"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"

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: Quality work

"Sharmila came recommended to us when we were ready to design and build a large cabana in our back yard. We met and let her know some of the ideas we had in mind. Sharmila has done similar projects in the past and was a wealth of knowledge in every step of the way, from the design to the amenities. Sharmila handled the drawing of the structural plan, application for permit, submitting plan to the city, etc. Throughout she was always on time and kept us updated on where we were in the process, very thorough. Sharmila is a true professional that was a pleasure to work with, we could not be happier with her and the design of our cabana."

"There was good communication among all members of the team, especially with Daniel, our project manager. When we had issues, he went above and beyond to get them resolved, weather it was product resourcing or dealing with unexpected issues. We had a good idea of how our final project would look like because we had 3D drawings from their designer who, also assisted us in procuring all materials prior to the start of the project. We were very happy with the quality of the workmanship, especially because the previous contractor had done such a poor job on our bathrooms. The quality standards of the B&B team are superior. As far as timeliness, our job was delayed because of product delays but would otherwise have been completed on time. We are absolutely happy with our bathrooms and with the job that B&B performed."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Completing structural engineering projects in San Jose, such as seismic retrofits and foundation repairs, can boost your home’s value and attract buyers who prioritize earthquake safety. Upgrades that support additions or ADUs are especially appealing in San Jose’s competitive market. Proper documentation and permits from these projects reassure buyers and appraisers, making your property stand out during resale.

Helpful?

In San Jose, structural engineering project timelines vary based on project type and local factors. Foundation repairs and seismic retrofits often take several weeks, while larger renovations or ADU construction may extend to several months. Local permit approval, soil analysis, and seismic safety requirements can add time. Early coordination with your structural engineer helps anticipate delays and keeps your project on track.

Helpful?

When hiring a structural engineer in San Jose, look for experience with local seismic retrofits, knowledge of area soil conditions, and a strong track record with city permitting. Ask for references from recent projects in your neighborhood and confirm they carry proper insurance. Clear communication and familiarity with San Jose’s building codes are essential for a smooth project and timely approvals.

Helpful?

In San Jose, structural engineering projects provide immediate safety improvements and may lower insurance risks. Addressing issues like foundation repairs or seismic upgrades reduces the chance of costly emergencies and makes future renovations easier. Long-term, these improvements protect your property’s value, help prevent structural damage, and ensure your home meets evolving building codes for lasting peace of mind.

Helpful?

In San Jose, combining structural engineering work—like seismic retrofits or foundation repairs—with other upgrades such as plumbing or electrical improvements can streamline your project. Coordinating these tasks minimizes disruptions, reduces repeat labor, and may simplify the permit process. This approach is especially effective before starting major renovations or adding an ADU, helping you avoid redundant inspections and maximize efficiency.
