I worked with Structech on several structural engineering remodel projects in Woodside, CA this…read morepast year, including: a very large deck on piers, window relocations, general engineering questions, and pergolas. Hamid is very personable and highly competent. I am a homeowner, not a contractor, and therefore needed a bit of guidance along the way. The first major project we worked with him on was a deck extension. After determining what we wanted in terms of a support structure (minimal visual impact due to guest room at that level), he designed a deck that met all codes and local requirements that made sense. When we needed to expand even that deck due to a gas line issue, it was a simple solution. When I had difficulty sourcing some of the material (try to find high strength screws that can penetrate 1/4" of steel at Home Depot), he stepped in to find it or called out alternative materials (one manufacturer, Trex, doesn't manufacture all of the steel trusses listed in its engineering catalog anymore). He provided very valuable advice relative to some unpermitted work by a previous owner and also how to address some of the shortcomings of 40 year old construction. Our last project was a lot of fun, we had a 20' opening that we wanted to span with a pergola. The design called for a 27' length, which, in the interest of keeping architecturally clean, could only be accomplished with metal. Steel would have been a cheaper material for the pergola, but the weight would have required a much more substantial and expensive support structure (rebuilding instead of using existing), and a massive effort to install. Hamid recommended aluminum tube, which while more expensive on the pergola material and fabrication, was a much more cost effective solution. also, with a sharp edge square / rectangular tube, the design is spectacular. I would highly recommend Hamid for any structural engineering work.

Ended up being super expensive. They were having trouble using my logo which I never had a problem with at other places. She needed it in some unheard of format I believe it was called vex format.

Only go to this place if you are not in a hurry to get your products and if you want them to create your logo, lastly if you're okay with a bunch of added fees. -biggest problem was their Lack of communication.

Here's my experience. I was building a new house and my…read moreplans were rejected by the City for dozens of reasons. Feeling overwhelmed I searched for someone to help me through the process. I contacted Dennis at Bay Area Permits and arranged a meeting. He had me meet him at Starbucks which I though a bit odd going over architectural drawings in the middle of a bustling coffee shop. He needed a $3,000.00 retainer to get started to help me resolve my permit issues. I tried to hand-deliver the check later that night and found that the Business Address was just a mail drop in Los Gatos. So I mailed the check. We had a follow up meeting and Dennis said he would get started. I have no idea what he did other that he mentioned he needed to access "archives" at the county etc. After that, Dennis was extremely hard to get ahold of. Many calls were not returned, emails not replied to etc. After Months went by Dennis told me he was sick. In the mean time I had resolved most of the issues myself. The main thing I wanted Dennis to resolve was to prove to the City that a house had existed on the lot before as that would save me $17,600.00 in permit fees. We had another meeting where he gave me a Sketch of a home from the 60's? in an area where my lot is. This was supposed to prove to the City that a house previously existed on my lot? I figured the City would laugh at me and they did (chuckled) and said the sketch did not prove anything to them. Desperate and a fish out of water regarding records searching I figured I would take a day off work and try to figure it out myself. I went to Santa Clara County (on Hedding and First St) with the APN number. The receptionist suggested I try the tax assessor as they would have records of previously paid taxes on my parcel. The Tax Assessor told me the parcel number had been changed and I should check with the building Dept. The building Department cross referenced the new APN to the old APN, found the original permit from the 1950's and the demolition permit from the 1990's when the house was torn down. My total time at the County from arriving at the facility to driving away was 34 minutes. Armed with these documents, the City waived the $17,600.00 fee from my building permit. I followed up with Dennis and he stood firm that the sketch he gave me should have been good enough. From my point of view I am a novice, if I could solve this issue so quickly myself then why did he have so much trouble? Dennis mentioned that he would get me some money back but I never heard back from him. I called and left a voice mail asking about my refund, he never replied to my voice mail. This was roughly a year ago. I'll give Bay Area Permits 2 starts instead of 1 star because Dennis seemed nice on a personal level.
