I have built two projects with ATA Engineering and am in the process of starting a third. I appreciate ATA's rapid response to me needs and their ability to save me thousands when the crews make a mistake. A lot of factors go in to engineering a structure including Soil Engineering and the California earthquake codes. While I feel these other entities play a huge role in the overengineering of a structure, ATA has always found the most cost effective approach to keep everyone happy. 7 of my other structural engineers are truly guilty of overengineering the structures to save their own skin, ATA is not. I appreciate the pricing that I receive from ATA to engineer my projects. They are fair with their pricing and if anything they are under priced. It is not uncommon for them to make changes to the plans due to architect/client revisions and not charge for them. My other 8 engineering firms charge by the minute for anything that changes, even to talk on the phone. Give ATA Engineering a shot at your project, you will not be dissapointed unless you expect someone to work for free.

After our modular home manufacturer unexpectedly canceled our order, we felt lost and unsure of how…read moreto move forward with building a new second unit on our property. That's when we met Doug -- and everything changed. Our project wasn't simple. The permit required us not only to build a brand-new house but also to renovate and legalize the existing old house. Doug stepped in, redesigned the new unit beautifully, and reimagined the old house so the two complemented each other perfectly. The construction of the new home went incredibly smoothly. Doug's professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The quality of his work truly exceeded our expectations. The renovation of the old house turned out to be much more complex than expected, but Doug handled every challenge with steady leadership and creativity. He brought the right people together, found thoughtful solutions, and kept the project moving forward steadily through each difficulty. His dedication and calm problem-solving turned a demanding process into a truly rewarding experience. The whole process took nearly five years -- but in the end, we have two beautiful homes that feel cohesive, warm, and full of life. Doug's commitment, honesty, and heart carried us through. We're deeply grateful for his expertise and friendship throughout this journey. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your home as much as you do, Doug and his team are the ones to call. We can't recommend them enough. Please feel free to contact me if you want the reference. My phone: 408-800-6698. Michael

Douglas Fernandez of Fernandez Design and Builders in San Jose remodeled my entire home in 2007 and…read moredid such an excellent job; my home now is so beautiful and unique & a great fit for my way of life. The good news is that he was so fair and honest; he really watched costs which is so unusual, and in the end, I could be so much more innovative and creative and do so much more than I could have been with any another contracting firm; even more importantly, we had such a good time working together (even the demolition which I dreaded was a piece of cake because of Doug). I left throughout the remodel on many business trips, & there was so much progress and usually a surprising new touch Doug added every time I returned home. Since then, Doug has been there for me on many other occasions. The good news is that Doug is happy with and enjoys smaller remodeling jobs as well. Last year my outside deck came away from its stucco wall & needed a complete retrofit, including adding more structural columns to further support the deck. He loves a good challenge and coming up with great creative and exciting solutions that are brilliant, yet not expensive. Doug's cell is 510-377-9711. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information; my cell is 650-804-8894. Best wishes, Kaaren Powers

The WNH team was great from start to finish. They sent someone out to inspect our house to…read morerecommend what needed to be done to satisfy the state and didn't try to upsell us on unneeded work. They submitted the required paperwork to the city, scheduled the work quickly once the permit was issued, and scheduled the inspection after it was done.

I highly recommend them.

Tay and his team at Earthquake Retrofit/WNH Construction completed the earthquake retrofit of our…read morehouse in a professional and timely manner. After I contacted Tay, his team quickly visited our house the next day, and provided a quote the following day. Along with the industry-standard "Earthquake Retrofit Plan Set A," I decided to "go big or go home" and also went along with the recommended optional repairs, including the installation of Simpson's AC4 Pier Caps. Soon after my decision, Tay drafted the plans and submitted them to the city. Waiting for the city's approval took approximately two weeks, but once we received approval, we scheduled the start of work. The work itself only took two days. Today (which was the day after completion), the city inspector arrived and approved the retrofit. Tay's team shared pictures of the completed work with me (taken within the crawlspace), and emailed them for my records. Happily, I have the final permit in-hand for our records, and for our insurer. I'm very impressed that the work was completed in the timeframe promised, with a city inspector arriving the next day approving the work. I hope all of the contractors I work with in the future provide services in a similar manner. I highly recommend Tay and his team at Earthquake Retrofit. If you're at all interested in retrofitting your home for the next big quake, give them a call.

I feel somewhat bad writing this review just because I didn't have the fortune to work with the people that are good at this company. If you happen to get Kent Sezen, he is the weakest link. An engineer who is simultaneously rude and when called out on that rudeness, petulant and perhaps even vindictive. He ignores design constraints, and "phones-in" his work, says he's done prematurely and needs payment NOW (see prior review of Kent, its so true). He has a very large ego that is bruised easily. I will give him this: When I asked him to not treat my contractor like his personal secretary, he immediately responded "I quit", and I asked him to stay on because I thought he was over-reacting to me asking him to be nicer. I should've let him go at that moment and its on me that I didn't. At the sake of supporting his competent co-engineers, maybe they are worth using, but it's unfortunate they have tied themselves to this guy.
