My retaining wall project sits in a critical…read morearea in Medina, and I had zero experience with this type of work, which dragged out the permit process. Eli not only led the design, but also guided me throughout the process with the kind of advice you'd expect from a friend. He's resourceful, knowledgeable, and consistently responsive. I wouldn't have been able to move this project forward without him. Truly appreciate his support.

Eli is a godsend! I stumbled across Eli's business while desperately trying to help my mother…read morerebuild her home after a total fire loss. I was nearly ready to give up when I found him. After our initial consultation, I knew he was the right man for the job. He became our PM, engineer, architect, permit expert, et al. He had a monumental task before him; including sorting out all the environmental issues, correcting/recreating work done by other contractors, finding solutions for issues neither of us had previously dealt with, etc. He saved us so much time/money. We now have an approved King County permit in hand and ready to build! This is entirely due to Eli's creativity, expertise and skill. We wholeheartedly recommend ESG Design. Eli, thank you!

We've worked with this company multiple times, and communication is incredibly important to us…read more They are quick to respond, always clear when we need clarification, and very easy to reach by phone. We especially love working with Evan--we've trusted him with several complex projects, including an 8-foot foundation wall and our aerial studio rigging. I truly can't speak highly enough of Evan or the company as a whole.

The general contractors who build my projects have also expressed appreciation for CSES as a structural engineer who designs with a sense of what is practical for residential wood construction means and methods. CSES bridges a gap between the needs of architecture firms and homeowners. I decided to rate my experience as 4/5 only because I've had some "meh" experiences with staff engineers as CSES has grown as a company.

I hired this company to complete an as-built and a build-out, and the experience has been nothing…read moreshort of frustrating. My main contact, Joe Pascua, has been completely unresponsive and constantly procrastinating on the project. At first, they claimed they couldn't start until they received more information once they got it, they added another four weeks to the schedule. After I submitted payment, communication became sparse and inconsistent. Joe repeatedly promised updates and completion dates that never materialized. This ongoing lack of communication and follow-through has cost me hundreds of dollars per day in delays, and continues as I have yet to receive the finished permit-ready drawings. I would strongly caution anyone considering this company they do not deliver on their commitments or communicate in a timely manner. If you don't have money to waste stay away.

Hands down the best experience I've had with a company! Joey Pascua was a pleasure to work with,…read moreand to be frank, he deserves a raise! He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and offered advice when the government was illegally trying to hold us up on our project. They by far have the best prices in the industry, and a company has never looked out for my interest the way these guys did! They did a wonderful job on our shop inspection, and the home design they are doing for us is coming along beautifully. I can't recommend them enough, whether you need an architect, structural engineer, designer, or anything in between, whatever your home needs are go to these guys! They will take good care of you! P.S. If you see this same review for Rueppell Home Design/Design Build NW, it's because the companies are related and I wanted to give these wonderful guys a shout out everywhere I could!

I wish I could give this zero stars. Needed plans for a basic pole building worked up. After…read morenumerous weeks and multitude of attempts to get them to call me yielded NO communication at all. When I finally got the drawings there was a large perimeter footing under the slab that I wanted to be removed due to cost, there were other items they put in that was not needed as part of a pole building and not part of my request even though I provided pictures and drawings of what I wanted. They charged me 3 additional hours of engineering time. It took me weeks more time to get this 3 hours job done, again multiple attempts to have them call me back. Only when I threatened legal action did Russ call me back. I finally got the plans and instead of removing the footer as requested, they only made it smaller claiming they need to me below the frost line. I called the county and that IS NOT required by code and they have never seen that before the guy said. I need to get this built, PNE took so long I am now behind schedule, so I need to take these plans and HOPE the county will accept them. I do not have the patience to wait more months nor can I afford start over with a good firm.
