I hired Distinguished Structural Engineers about a year ago to assist with the conversion of a detached garage into an ADU. Farshid and his team worked relentlessly to ensure I had exactly what I needed to ensure the project was able to move forward with my city. Communication was incredible and whenever I came across issues, they were able to resolve it quickly. If you're searching for a high quality group of engineers to assist you with any project, I highly recommend DSE. The value they provide is top notch.

Approved plans at the City of Carlsbad, first try!!!

We had a great experience working with Amgad and the engineering team at San Mina on our home…read moreremodel. The project was fairly complex--it included expanding our living space by building two bedrooms and a bathroom above the garage, as well as removing walls in the kitchen to create an open-concept layout downstairs that required new structural support. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. They took the time to fully understand our vision and translated it into a thoughtful, well-executed design. Their structural plans were clear and thorough, which made the construction process much smoother. Even when we encountered constraints due to city regulations, they worked closely with us to develop a revised design that both met approval requirements and aligned with our needs. We love our remodel thanks to Amgad and team!

We recently both bought a house a few months ago that needed some structural work. This included…read moreremoving several load-bearing walls and vaulting the living room ceiling to open up the space. We reached out to Amgad and within a few days he came out and was able to start the plan right away. It took him only 2 weeks for the plan! He also referred us to a trustworthy contractor that was able to execute the plan with no issues. From beginning to end, Amgad was very responsive. He would also work with our contractor to make sure our project went smoothly. We would definitely contact him again for any future project.

We hired BN Design Build for a total remodel that had major sentimental value -- the kind of…read moreproject where you don't just want a good result... you need the right partner. We started with an ~1,600 sq ft home and Ben helped us completely reimagine it into a 3,600+ sq ft dream home that our family plans to keep for generations. What stood out throughout the process was Ben's rare combo of deep technical capability and a genuinely easy, approachable working style. Ben brought significant in-house strength to the table: full architectural design (including our California room / covered patio), plus engineering coordination around soil/civil and drainage planning. That integrated approach made the process far more seamless -- fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and fewer "who owns this?" moments. And his pricing was fair and attractive for the level of rigor and service. As the build progressed, Ben stayed close and collaborative -- not just sending plans and disappearing. He worked with us and our contractors, answered questions, and helped keep things moving. He was also extremely responsive; he typically replied within a few hours, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to keep a project on track. Ben handled submissions and permitting with the City of Fullerton and worked through City-requested changes efficiently, saving us countless hours and headaches. He also has a sharp eye for detail -- his plans were thorough, complete, and clear -- and he brought creative solutions to get the design we wanted while respecting the budget. Our taste is traditional / Cape Cod, and he did an outstanding job translating inspiration photos into a finished design that feels classic, intentional, and timeless. We went through more than four rounds of revisions, and Ben was patient and constructive the entire time -- he worked with us until we were genuinely happy. Bottom line: Ben translated our dreams into reality, and did it with professionalism, responsiveness, and real care. We recommend him and are happy to discuss our experience with anyone considering BN Design Build. We're almost done with the build and will post pictures once finished!

I highly recommend BN Architect & Associates for attentive and accurate site planning. Benjamin…read moremade our experience so easy, even as our city passed ADU ordinance changes mid-plan. Response times are fast, they're great at drafting exactly what you want within the scope of compliance to regulations. I was very pleased with the professionalism and ability.

We laid out what we wanted and Fredy told us what we could and couldn't do. He told us he could have the plans done pretty quickly and we were happy with how it was going until.. We wanted to add a skylight and asked Fredy about it. He quickly said we couldn't and gave no real explanation why. So we did a little research, asked another engineer and found out it was possible. When we called to ask Fredy about it he YELLED AT MY WIFE and basic said not to question him. It seemed Fredy didn't want to do the extra work to look into it. He ended up adding it after I had another conversation with him. It's not over.. Once we finally get the plans and turn them into the City for review they get sent back to us. FREDY MESSED UP NORTH AND SOUTH! It then took him over 2 weeks to correct it! THIS COST US OVER 10K DOLLARS because the project was held up and we had to keep paying the mortgage FREDY MESSED UP OUR PLANS 2 MORE TIMES AND COST US OVER 20K DOLLARS IN MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND MONTHS OF IDLE TIME Please don't be fooled by the 5 star reviews. If you are in the market for a good, timely and competent engineer I suggest you look elsewhere.

He was very open to helping me conceptualize what I wanted; he offered great suggestions and options for me to choose from. They delivered plans within their estimated timelines. I went through 4 bids, and his agreement was fairly priced. I am grateful for him putting together a master plan for us and looking forward to the build.
