What clients say
Reviews from homeowners and contractors we've drawn for.
Without question, Hoang is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and talented engineers I have worked with in the past 30 years. He works through the design of my projects and resolves issues regardless of complexity.
This was the last piece of a four-part project: design, structural analysis, permitting and troubleshooting during construction of a 1,500 sq ft multi-story deck. Helpful and professionally competent throughout.
Went above and beyond to help plan a container home addition to an existing farmhouse, and accommodated every reasonable request. Would highly recommend to contractors or homeowners.
The work was completed ahead of time and correctly. Hoang clearly understands his work and the needs of permitting offices. I'll be using him again for future projects.
Delivered exactly what I was looking for well before schedule, and communication was excellent. He made all the revisions I needed until I was satisfied.
Plans were delivered fast and communication was excellent. Willing to do revisions as needed to make sure everything meets requirements.
