    Soon after reaching out, Austin came by to inspect the space and returned some plans to submit to the city.

From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to delivering good-quality results. Despite the recent city legalization challenges, they handled everything with transparency and expertise, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Their knowledge of local regulations and attention to detail really set them apart and gave me peace of mind. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy design team, I highly recommend EAS Designers. I would absolutely work with them again and encourage others to do the same!

    So I'm seeing cracks on my ceiling and they are starting to worry me…read more I checked Yelp and Nextdoor for some structural engineer recommendations. When I contacted them to get more information they responded timely. Made an appointment with them about a week and a half later. Arash came to the house and looked everywhere garage, outside, all the rooms. And thankfully he said there is no foundation concern. Took him I want to say about 40min to look everywhere. They are not cheap. My eyes almost popped out of my socket when I heard about their rate. But I want someone with experience to look at the house. Anyways, there is a little hiccup with the invoice but they reached back to me quickly to resolve it. The inspection cost is separate to the report fee. Just fyi. Nice people, happy to have found them.

    I cannot say enough good things about Kent! He has helped us with the most important purchases…read morewe've made and with one of the most important things for our family (safety). While on the market for a house, our realtor contacted Kent for several verbal inspections. On one property that we were interested in making a bid on, we weren't sure if we needed a structural inspection because the house appeared well maintained and the lot was very flat. However, Kent came and told us this house would likely fall apart in a big earthquake, because it appeared never to have had any seismic retrofits since it was built 100 years ago. Bringing it up to current safety standards would likely be a huge project costing around $400k. We avoided a real lemon! Before making an offer on our current house, Kent also came. This house was in bad shape with a lot of deferred maintenance and borderline in a yellow zone on the Kropp map. However, Kent told us that the foundation looked good, seismic retrofits had been done probably in the last 20 years (so no further work was needed), and it was probably on bedrock. Sure enough, when we were replacing sewer laterals, the crew confirmed his evaluation (it was very difficult to dig and they had to drill a lot). At the same visit, we mentioned that we were going to see another house that just listed, which was more move-in ready. Kent advised us (free of charge!) that he already inspected that house and to avoid it completely. It was in a landslide zone and had already encroached into the neighbor's lot! That saved us a lot of time! Recently, I contacted Kent to evaluate our detached garage for seismic retrofitting, which to our knowledge had never been retrofitted since it was built about 100 years ago. Kent came for a site visit and wrote up a short report. He noticed that some of the concrete around the pillars looked newer and encouraged us to look through old permitting archives. When we did this and sent him the microfiche files from the early 1990's, he told us that indeed seismic retrofitting was done then and we didn't need to update it! Saved us probably around $30k!

After purchasing a new home…read moreand enduring my first winter, I was incredibly nervous to find significant water in my crawl space and cracks along the raised foundation. I initially signed a contract with Prostruct, but after Irvin reviewed my photos, he demonstrated a level of integrity that is rare to find. Instead of taking the job, he honestly informed me that my specific issues fell outside their scope. He took the time to explain what I was seeing, referred me to a geotechnical engineer who could actually solve the problem, and issued me a full refund. I greatly appreciated his transparency and professional guidance. I highly recommend Prostruct Engineering to anyone looking for an honest assessment--they clearly prioritize the customer's needs over their own bottom line.

Their team is very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The plans were well-prepared and detailed, and the city approved them with minimal corrections, which really speaks about their quality and attention to detail. One of the projects was on a hillside property, where the foundation requirements were quite intense, but their team handled it seamlessly with well-thought-out and detailed designs. See pics. They always delivered on time and maintained excellent communication throughout the process, keeping me informed at every step. I highly recommend ProStruct Engineering to anyone looking for reliable and efficient structural design services! A special mention to Lokesh, who I worked with directly -- he was very responsive, understood my needs clearly, and made sure everything was addressed on time.

    We have been working on a 2nd floor addition to a 100 yr old house. As one can imagine, there are…read moremany significant structural issues that may arise unexpectedly when opening up walls and seeing how people build things 100 yrs ago. David and Ray have been incredible since the beginning of the process, helping us navigate through all the structural concerns and always trying to find a value engineering approach - whether it was optimizing depth of foundation work, or finding ways to reinforce old windows, coming up with ways to get headers into locations where there isn't the space, and/or proposing alternative shear wall options when there isn't room to fit things. Ray, our project engineer, has been the best communicating and responding to all our questions and worries. He carefully reviews the problem at hand that arise and often will provide 2 or 3 possible options that our builder can work on. With our current project, Ray is always super prompt to resolve any issues via call or email, or video conference and if necessary an onsite visit to inspect the construction phase. He was just crawling in our crawlspace the other day and notified our builder if some items that needed to be addressed to maintain a positive continuous connection from 2nd floor down to 1st floor and to crawlspace foundation. We are now adding the 2nd floor framing and almost done the most stressful part of the project. We have done 3 major remodels in the past with other firms where it was difficult to get in touch with anybody. With Ray and David at Simplengi Engineering, it has been a very refreshing experience to have experts that promptly responds to all our concerns. Value engineering, great timely communication, attention to detail, common sense, simple and smart engineering. We highly recommend Ray and David and Simplengi Engineering for any structural work. Simply great engineering. We don't plan to do another remodel for 100+ years but if we did, we would hire Simplengi 100% for sure.
