My husband and I are in escrow on a home in Santa Barbara and the lender and underwriter requested…read morethat we have a structural engineer certify that the garage was on a permanent foundation. I called Casey and he responded immediately and came to walk the property the same day. Not only that, he was very prompt with responding to messages and he sent in a report of his findings early the morning. Casey made the difference in us closing escrow in 5 days instead of waiting an extra week!

A construction person recommended Cedar Structural, Mounir El-Koussa. Not knowing anything about…read moreCedar Structural I called and spoke with him. Initially he seemed interested and able to get my project under way. However, beyond this I was largely ignored by Mouir. I thought we had started my project which had a time deadline. For the next 6 weeks I could not contact him. Despite phone calls to the office and an apparent secretary promising he would return my call that day. I NEVER got a call back. I sent e-mails which went unanswered until I sent an e-mail that I would be looking elsewhere to get my project done. He then sent an e-mail with one simple drawing with no explanation. In an attempt to speak with him I went to his office which is not his office but an office he uses when he meets with new clients. A person who was at that office address, not his business, said he could not remember the last time he was in the office nor did he have any method to contact Mr. El-Koussa. I finally got another architect in Santa Barbara who did not even know who Mr. El-Koussa was. The next communication from Mr. El-Koussa was a bill.

Unfortunately I had a similar experience to reviewer SS, though my project was a couple of years…read moreago. The final cost was approx 3 times the original bid, it took months longer than expected, and an employee left during the job and a new one had to get up to speed on it. I literally called around to switch companies because I was so frustrated but was told they'd have to start the whole process from scratch because of legal concerns using someone else's calculations. Not a good experience.

Would not recommend to any homeowner. The first person to work on the structural plans for our new…read morehome from this company left and the second "engineer" (we later found out he is not licensed) said he had to start all over - at further costs and delays for us. Six months later, the second engineer provided only partially finished plans (yet required 85% of the payments). We then had to repeatedly ask for the plans after that. Finally got the plans 7 months later after he gave them to the architect - we didn't even get a chance to review them. This was probably by design because there were 71 caissons, 50 feet deep on the plans making it impossible to build from a cost standpoint, They then said they could help us with another solution (at of course additional costs to us). Needless to say, we pursued that option but not with this company. We are extremely happy with the structural engineering company we ultimately used - after way to much wasted time and money for unusable structural plans from this company.
