They left us High and Dry we spent 2,000 dollars with them to have our plans engineered. Plans are 99% done submitted and we are at the last step to Getting our building permit. The county wanted 3 small changes for the engineering drawings so they matched the architect layout, Simple things like, Remove a bathroom, Closet, and Change a Fire Wall rating. All very simple things but they refuse to finish the job they started. We have Now have to start from scratch with another firm and are completely out of the 2,000 dollars we spent with them and now have incomplete plans. BEWARE of this firm, Very frustrating and disappointing and expensive. But they got paid so they don't really care to finish what they started.
Response from EK ENGINEERING
"While we understand that you were frustrated with this project, it is important to give an accurate portrayal of you project. In September of 2018, you hired us for lateral engineering of a RESIDENTIAL shop building. In November of 2018, you revised the layout of your residential shop, requiring extensive revision to the previously completed engineering. The project was still considered a "residential" project. In January of 2019, you revised your shop layout once more, requiring additional revisions to the engineering, but the project was still a residential shop. Then one year later, in January of 2020, you contacted us once more regarding your project. Your intended RESIDENTIAL shop project had changed to a COMMERCIAL building. Commercial structures require different code standards & details than Residential structures. We are an engineering firm that provides RESIDENTIAL engineering services, which was what you had originally requested from us & what you received from our company."

This firm was very informative and knowledgeable. They were able to complete things in a timely manner and were great to work with. They have a great working relationship with the county, and go above and beyond to get the job done. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

It's never any fun dealing with the County when you're trying to develop a business and I was in a real predicament for time when I called Chane Ek and within minutes of our call he was on it!! He called the county rep and spoke to him that very hour and within 3 hours he was at my property assessing the septic issue I had for my permit. He helped me find an affordable solution to my problem and he always answered my calls and emails promptly. I would highly recommend Ek Engineering for any Septic issues!!

Nathan EK and Lorelei Lawson of Ek Engineering have been of great help in answering all questions regarding the how's and why's of septic deign and other related building issue. They were of great help even before we decided to have them design our system. This is why we did end up selecting them. I can definitely recommend their services. BWolf

Septic plans went very well. Plans are well done, clear, and all transactions were very well explained.. We also wanted plans drawn up for guest quarters, but the construction part of the company was too busy and couldn't accept any more work at that time. They did not return phone calls to tell us that, though, and that was frustrating.

To meet county regulations for short plat. Cal Ek did the engineering figures and wrote letter to meet the county requirements to put in culvert. Was a hurry up job and they came thru for us.

Did a nice job. Just kept telling us they would have them ready by a certain date and then they didn't (went through this 6 or 7 times). Called the boss and we had them the next day. Guess they were really busy.
Response from EK ENGINEERING
"The home plan designer that was employed at Ek Engineering in 2006 is no longer with the company. All of our employees are required to exceed our clients expectations and provide them the prompt, professional service our company has been known for for over 25 years. Unfortunately, we did not hear that there was an issue until after the project was delayed numerous times. As I see from a more recent comment, I am glad that we have had the opportunity to show that all of us at Ek Engineering do care about keeping to our known standard of professional service in a timely manner. Thank you."
