Best structural engineers near Washington, DC

"Responsive and thorough. I needed sizing calculations. Kamran called me to get more details about my project and determined he could help me right there over the phone. He ran several calculations and talked me through various options. we were done and I had the analysis in my email in 10 minutes. brilliant experience. I will definitely work with him again!"

"Having major remodel on lower level. Contractor tried to rope me into major work (and project delay) suggesting normal cracks on cinder block walls indicated a foundation issue. When I pushed back, he put project on hold stating I needed a structural engineer to certify. I called the first two people on home advisor locally and Omid got back to me in 2-3 min, was at my house within an hour and delivered a certified report within 3-4 hours. He listened to the situation and spoke with my contractor to hear his assessment before beginning his assessment measures. He directly pushed back on what contractor stated and provided simple solution for one crack that was more than hairline. Report was meticulous, he spoke with contractor directly, and saved this project. It was more affordable than what was suggested on average costs. While I couldn’t divorce from the unethical contractor mid project—I would have been stuck with no out without the work of Omid!"

"We have several disconcerting cracks on the walls, around window frames, and around the fireplace, both horizontal and vertical, and we wanted a structural engineer to evaluate. A&A Structures responded extremely promptly and the engineer, Yahya Alibadi, agreed to come the same day. He was a pleasure to deal withâ extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and down to earth, patiently answering all our questions, no matter how tangential.. He spent more than two ours inspecting the house inside and out, explained what he saw, the options for fixing the problem, and followed it up with a long, thorough, and clear report that we will share with the contractor who will be doing the repairs. We later had an email exchange and phone conversations to clarify some points further, and he continued to be extremely helpful. We are planning some construction work on the house soon, and we will definitely hire A&A again. Highly recommend."

"I would highly recommend working with Structurist Consulting. They were responsive, readily available, gave more time than anticipated on a complicated structural examination and most importantly, really nice."

"We hired Bitarchitects for a major renovation of our home and were extremely pleased with the experience. It was a substantial investment, and we valued the architects' expertise and guidance throughout the project. From the beginning, we had the opportunity to speak with several professionals, hear different perspectives, and make informed decisions. We worked closely with the architectural and design teams, followed by the structural and mechanical engineers, before moving into permitting. Although permitting presented some challenges, the team remained engaged and continued working with us until we successfully completed the process. Bitarchitects then helped us navigate construction and coordinate the different contractors, subcontractors, and agreements involved. Having one integrated team guide us step by step made a complex project much more manageable. We appreciated their knowledge, persistence, and continued support, and we highly recommend Bitarchitects."

"We hired Doug to check out some walls we wanted to remove but weren't sure whether they were load-bearing. He came by, took a look, opened up the wall in a few places, and had the signed and stamped engineer letter to us very shortly after that. Professional, responsive, and friendly service, we would use again."

"We have been working with Todd Willoughby since early in 2018. We had purchased a piece of land along the Chesapeake Bay and wanted to build a small but thoughtfully designed contemporary garden cottage for our retirement. After speaking with a number of architects we chose Todd and we have been very happy with that decision. Over several months, we worked have closely with him through the several design phases, culminating in a very complete set of construction documents, that we are now using for bidding. Throughout the process, we have found Todd to be personable, smart, perceptive and creative. He has been able to translate our ideas into working drawings that one of the contractors noted was called the most detailed he has ever seen. Todd has captured our vision for an environmentally friendly house with solar and rainwater harvesting. We have met with him many times talk through the many details, choices, and constraints you inevitably face. He has done all the coordination needed with the other specialties the engineers, surveyor, and solar energy firm. Having enjoyed this first part of the collaboration, we are hiring Todd to help us through the bid evaluations and construction admin phases. The best recommendation would be our actual house, but until we get there we can say Todd has done an excellent and professional job getting us this far, and we look forward to working with him through to a completed project."
