Even though he could've made a healthy fee off of me, he took about 20 minutes of his time, and explained to me on the phone exactly what I needed. If I ever am in the need of a geologist in the future, earnest will be the first person I reach out to.

Working with Farzad Yahya Aalam and his structural engineering and construction management firm has…read morebeen one of the best decisions we made for our project. Farzad is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to his clients' success. From the initial consultation through the final stages of the project, he managed every detail from A to Z, making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and organized. He was always available to answer our questions by phone, email, or text, and he took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently. His pricing is very fair and provides exceptional value for the level of expertise and service you receive. While you may find someone who charges less, it's unlikely you'll get the same level of experience, responsiveness, and attention to detail. And if you find someone who charges more, hiring Farzad is an easy decision because of the outstanding value he delivers. Most importantly, Farzad prepares thorough, high-quality plans that give you confidence your project is positioned for a smooth approval process with the city. His professionalism, integrity, and dedication make him someone I would recommend without hesitation. If you're looking for a structural engineer and construction manager who truly cares about your project and will guide you every step of the way, Farzad Yahya Aalam is the person to hire.

We used Dary Engineering for Architecture plans and they did a wonder job. Diaa was very…read moreprofessional and paid close attention to detail. These were my first set of plans that I had drawn up by an Architect and I was very impressed. We've even gotten compliments from contractors on how well the plans were. We summitted our plans to the City and they only needed minor corrections. He provided the corrections in a timely manner and they came back approved in a week. We would like to thank Diaa very much for the outstanding service that was provided. Their pricing was also very reasonable and we are happy that we found them. We definitely hope to use them again in the future.

Thank you Francisco I will never forget your generosity!

5 Stars! I highly recommend FJ Engineering. They served as the structural engineer of record (SEOR)…read morefor our major single-family home remodel and addition. Their expertise literally saved our build from a very poor framing contractor. The contractor caused massive delays due to non-existent planning, mismanaged materials, and repeatedly misinterpretation of the structural stamped drawings, including framing ceiling joists improperly and installation detail errors. Fortunately, the owner, Francisco Garcia, stepped in with efficient practical solutions for every single error while maintaining code compliance and structural integrity. Francisco was incredibly patient, performing comprehensive hold point inspections, clearly explaining details to help contractor's rework and omissions. He accommodated last minute inspection requests time and time again. Now that framing is officially signed off by the city, we have absolute peace of mind. Francisco and his team are the communicative, professional experts you want in your corner, whether for a remodel or new construction. FJ Engineering will contribute to the success of your project through the value they bring from initial development of structural plan drawings and his diligent oversight through final sign-off.

I also want to mention that my project took less time than originally thought. As a result I was invoiced for three hundred dollars less to reflect the actual time spent.

A few hiccups along the way with the final permit but Sam acknowledged the mistake on his end and said he would sign off the edits in the revision phase of construction. I will give an updated review once that time comes. Quality: quality of work was good. Efficient in communication and dealing with a difficult city in a permitting process. Took about 6 months for the permits and the city kicked back for corrections 2x which is pretty standard. Value: felt his pricing was fair and reasonable Customer service: always responds to phone calls. Even after our final payment when we had questions or needed assistance. So not a "take your money" and we are done type of guy Overall impression: would use him in the future for any architectural or structural engineering jobs

After the 2 month period he barely started working in 1 of the plans only. He lied to me throughout the 2 month period that everything was going as scheduled. After 4 months of delaying , lack of communication, excuses and lies I had to hire someone to pressure and push him to get my plans done. He promised he would have my plans finished and would have Jennifer speed up things and work with us, which the result was the same. A complete nightmare. I got tired of his excuses and unprofessionalism and gave him a couple of deadlines which he didn't meet. So I fired him after 6 months of delaying my project and getting no progress done. Now I am taking this to court to get my $18,000 I paid him and compensation of 6 months for delaying my project. VERY UNRELIABLE
