"Kamran dd a fantastic job. He reached out to me quickly and had his associate come by to look at the walls I was removing. I received an estimate for the work. Kamran worked extra long on the project to help me utilize the beams that I had pre purchased. I would recommend anyone who need a professional engineer recommendation to use OHI engineering"

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

"Bashir and Noorullah were a pleasure to work with. They were very detailed, providing a full set of plans to have a load-bearing wall removed in my home. Bashir was attentive and he and Noorullah answered all my questions. I would have no problem providing a strong recommendation for Structurist for any structural engineering needs especially when it comes to your home."

"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."

"1) I had signed a contract with a brick/masonry company on September 10, 2019, to construct a full brick veneer on the front of my house. The crew worked one day, October 14, 2019, then nothing! Sometime after that, the firm concluded my project required a building permit approved by Loudoun County, VA. I signed a blank building permit form in November. 2) Doug was hired by the firm to conduct a structural engineers analysis of my house and to prepare drawings and written guidance for the construction of the brick veneer wall, for review by the Loudoun County building permit office. 3) Doug came on November 11, 2019, to survey my house. He was on time, efficient and courteous. He knew exactly how to plan and execute his assignment. He did not waste his or my time. Yet he did take the time to answer all of my questions. 4) He minimized demolition needed to analyze the structure by cutting a piece of drywall from the garage (vs the living space) 5) He submitted his work deliverable to the brick/masonry firm ahead of his contract schedule. 6) On a couple of occasions since his November 11, 2019 appointment, he has contacted me to check on the progress of the project. (Work resumed in January 2020.) I believe he genuinely cares that my project is completed properly and to my satisfaction."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

For a safer, family-friendly project in Fairfax, ask your contractor to install temporary barriers and use dust control measures, especially in homes with older materials. Schedule disruptive work when children and pets are away, and designate a safe, off-limits area for them. Discuss daily cleanup routines and request background-checked workers. If your home is near a busy street or school zone, ensure extra precautions are taken around entryways.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes in Fairfax, be wary of vague estimates lacking written details or omitting permit requirements. Professionals who avoid on-site evaluations or don’t address local soil and code considerations may not be familiar with Fairfax’s unique challenges. A lack of local references, unclear communication, or requests for large upfront payments are warning signs. Trustworthy experts provide detailed, site-specific plans and transparent timelines.

Helpful?

Before starting structural engineering projects in Fairfax, review HOA guidelines and coordinate with neighbors if your project may impact shared boundaries. Check your property survey for setback compliance, then schedule soil analysis early—Fairfax’s clay and rocky soils can affect foundation plans. Arrange for underground utility marking, and plan work around Fairfax’s rainy spring season to minimize weather-related delays. Early permit applications and inspection scheduling help keep your project on track.

Helpful?

In Fairfax, structural engineering projects can reveal hidden costs like additional permit or inspection requirements, soil stabilization for clay-heavy lots, and the need to reroute underground utilities. Stormwater management upgrades may be necessary, especially for properties near creeks. Older homes often require asbestos or lead testing, and if your property is in a historic neighborhood, extra review steps and compliance updates can add time and complexity.

Helpful?

In Fairfax, foundations are frequently affected by shifting clay soils and seasonal moisture, making them a common focus for structural engineering. Roof framing and support beams in older or colonial-style homes may need reinforcement. Finished basements, especially those with walkouts, often experience floor joist issues. Decks and porches exposed to Fairfax’s variable weather are also prone to deterioration and may require periodic structural evaluation.
