"I got fined because a Rock Wall contractor messed me up by telling me a permit was not needed so I had to pay a big fine. A friend recommended Aaron Shimizu Architecture company who was quite knowledgeable. Aaron was quite easy to talk to and made me relax by explaining the process he was quite knowledgeable He explained the steps and started the process for the new permit very quickly and as we progressed his staff kept me in the loop. I became very relaxed because of his experience. I got my legal permit after the process was finished. If I have any problems again I will definitely call Aaron he is a smart man."

"Carlos was very professional when he came to do the site visit. We went over details over my small project. He submitted his proposal the next day. Only reason I didn t select him was his price was almost triple the amount of the other five proposals I received, for the same work. Now only time will tell if it was the correct decision, but based on how small my job is, I felt it wasn t worth the price proposed. I think his price is more for commercial projects. Good luck!"

"Kyle Ikeda Recommendation Kyle has been a very pleasant and personable craftsman to work with. The first time he came to the house to do an estimate he asked whether he needed to wear a mask or not and we told him we preferred he wear a mask when speaking with us. He did as we asked. He is very considerate and accommodating. He never forces his preferences on you. He makes expert and excellent professional and design suggestions but ALWAYS leaves the decisions to the home owner. During the estimating process he went over in detail the design options available to us, Making sure we understood the cost scale as he presented each option based on the current structure of the bathroom and its present features that is appealing and we should consider keeping. He was also very honest about whether certain ADA compliant features need to be adhered to. He also discussed with us the plusses and minuses of safety features to consider given our age. We decided on two design options based on ours and his valuable input and asked him to quote both options. He produced quotes for both options within two weeks. He then followed his quotes with a face to face meeting discussing in detail what was and was not included in each quote. Once we decided on which option to go ahead with, we then went into more detail on the specific hardware and tile to be selected. His extensive portfolio of previous remodels helped us greatly in choosing the hardware, size, color and tile pattern options to possibly use. At this stage Kyleʻs extensive experience and master craftsman experience was invaluable. During the remodeling process he reviewed daily what was done and what he was planning to do the next day. What we also appreciated about Kyle is that he is a very organized and neat professional, he cleans up at the end of each day. If Kyle sees an issue in the original design due to the tiles or hardware we chose or modifications he needed to make, in order to make the overall design look more appealing he will stop, consult with us before implementing any changes. His artistic skills come into play here and again his suggestions led us to make the whole project look so much better than we had envisioned. One time we noticed a bad variation in the tiles from the same box he had already set. He had just left the house 15 minutes ago and We called him about it. He turned around and came immediately back to the house and removed the offending tiles and reset it with tiles that matched. This illustrates how accommodating he is and how he will go out of his way to please the homeowners. In summary we very very highly recommend Kyle Ikeda as a master bathroom remodeler. He has excellent design and artistic skills and his recommendations based on his extensive experience and portfolio are right on. His communication skills are excellent and he involves the homeowners in all aspects of the remodel from the design phase to the final remodeling phase. The quality of his work is exquisite. The tile work is immaculate and the installation of our unique shower system was completed without a hitch. The pan was installed perfectly with no pooling and the water all flows to the drain. All the plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and tile work was done by a single person, Kyle Ikeda himself. No subcontractors are involved to cause scheduling holdups. Our renovation was completed on time in 3 weeks total, from tear down to completion. If you want a master remodeler with all the skills needed to do your perfect remodeling job, hire Kyle Ikeda."

"We are very satisfied with the job Johnathan has done on our home.. He communicates well and listens to your needs on the project. He truly takes pride in his work. He pressure washed, sanded, primed, made necessary repairs and gave it two coats of the finish paint. Paint quality was excellent. We will definitely hire him again and recommend him to friends and family."

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Honolulu, HI

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
