From the very beginning, we were impressed with Senthil, Ryan and other members of Zenith team's level of professionalism, prompt response, architectural knowledge and effective communication.This level of service was seamless through our entire engagement with Zenith Engineers Inc., from obtaining the building permit to successfully passing all necessary inspections by the SF Building Department. No one questions their architectural work because they are so good at what they do. We had some initial concerns after reading negative reviews, but as the project progressed, it became clear that those comments were based on personal grievances, rather than valid concerns. The team at Zenith Engineers Inc. has a high level of professional ethics and integrity. Zenith's management team had explained to us early on in the project, the strict adherence to code and compliance was paramount throughout the project. If Zenith compromises to satisfy unsatisfied clients, the building will end up being non-compliant and more importantly unsafe. We truly appreciate Zenith's commitment to quality and integrity, even if it means earning a few negative reviews along the way, which seem rather unfair to them as they are simply doing their job. I am extremely satisfied with the professional and excellent work the team at Zenith Engineers Inc. provided us and will hire them in a heartbeat for all our future structural and/or seismic engineering needs. Thank you Senthil, Ryan and the Zenith engineering team for your professionalism and support. It was our best decision to work with you and experience such high standard of professionalism, work ethic, and integrity.

    After having used Zenith for multiple projects in the last few years, looks like it's finally time…read moreto look for someone else for the next one. We started using Zenith because of its responsiveness and effectiveness when it came to structural design. With them as part of our team, we were able to keep up with the City submittal and response timelines we had set. Fast forward to today, and we can't get a hold of anyone. When we do, it's always an excuse for why they didn't respond, without a resolution. We sent them the last City comments 30 days ago and have yet to get anything viable to re-submit back to the city. Given that this is a 30-unit hotel project, going with a different firm now will mean a complete re-design of the project; an absolutely painful exercise that will set us back months. Zenith knows that. So it's absolutely shameful for them to act in a way that would even suggest that our only choice is to get the entire project re-designed by another firm just to have it keep moving forward. So much for "we respond to emails within 30 minutes and always answer phone calls" as outlined on one of their online profile. Knowing how we were treated on this round of City comments and the fact that the entire company seems complacent about what they try to embody in their rhetoric, I would stay away for any future project.

    Working with Irvin at Prostruct Engineering was a breath of fresh air. After purchasing a new home…read moreand enduring my first winter, I was incredibly nervous to find significant water in my crawl space and cracks along the raised foundation. I initially signed a contract with Prostruct, but after Irvin reviewed my photos, he demonstrated a level of integrity that is rare to find. Instead of taking the job, he honestly informed me that my specific issues fell outside their scope. He took the time to explain what I was seeing, referred me to a geotechnical engineer who could actually solve the problem, and issued me a full refund. I greatly appreciated his transparency and professional guidance. I highly recommend Prostruct Engineering to anyone looking for an honest assessment--they clearly prioritize the customer's needs over their own bottom line.

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY -- terrible communication and shady tactics…read more I reached out to ProStruct Engineering for a simple onsite structural evaluation at my home in Danville. They sent a 10-page contract and demanded the full $1,100 upfront the same day, before any work was even scheduled. After I signed and inquired, I asked the project manager multiple times for a firm date when the engineer could come out for the survey. Instead of giving a straightforward answer, they used clear delay tactics and kept putting me off with vague responses. When I finally decided to cancel before any site visit or report was started, their own contract (Section 5.5) clearly states I should only owe a $500 "setup fee." Yet they are now treating it as if I owe the entire $1,100. This is a classic "pay us everything first, then we'll drag our feet" operation with a heavily one-sided contract designed to trap customers. Save yourself the stress, the risk of a lien on your house, and the endless runaround. There are plenty of other licensed structural engineers in the Bay Area who actually communicate and don't play games with scheduling. Would not recommend. Proceed with extreme caution.

That's when we met Doug -- and everything changed. Our project wasn't simple. The permit required us not only to build a brand-new house but also to renovate and legalize the existing old house. Doug stepped in, redesigned the new unit beautifully, and reimagined the old house so the two complemented each other perfectly. The construction of the new home went incredibly smoothly. Doug's professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The quality of his work truly exceeded our expectations. The renovation of the old house turned out to be much more complex than expected, but Doug handled every challenge with steady leadership and creativity. He brought the right people together, found thoughtful solutions, and kept the project moving forward steadily through each difficulty. His dedication and calm problem-solving turned a demanding process into a truly rewarding experience. The whole process took nearly five years -- but in the end, we have two beautiful homes that feel cohesive, warm, and full of life. Doug's commitment, honesty, and heart carried us through. We're deeply grateful for his expertise and friendship throughout this journey. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your home as much as you do, Doug and his team are the ones to call. We can't recommend them enough. Please feel free to contact me if you want the reference. My phone: 408-800-6698. Michael

    Douglas Fernandez of Fernandez Design and Builders in San Jose remodeled my entire home in 2007 and…read moredid such an excellent job; my home now is so beautiful and unique & a great fit for my way of life. The good news is that he was so fair and honest; he really watched costs which is so unusual, and in the end, I could be so much more innovative and creative and do so much more than I could have been with any another contracting firm; even more importantly, we had such a good time working together (even the demolition which I dreaded was a piece of cake because of Doug). I left throughout the remodel on many business trips, & there was so much progress and usually a surprising new touch Doug added every time I returned home. Since then, Doug has been there for me on many other occasions. The good news is that Doug is happy with and enjoys smaller remodeling jobs as well. Last year my outside deck came away from its stucco wall & needed a complete retrofit, including adding more structural columns to further support the deck. He loves a good challenge and coming up with great creative and exciting solutions that are brilliant, yet not expensive. Doug's cell is 510-377-9711. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information; my cell is 650-804-8894. Best wishes, Kaaren Powers

    Bruce was fantastic to work with and would highly recommend American Soil Testing. We hired Bruce…read moreand his team for a soils report for a planned addition. He was very patient with our questions and more than accommodating of our accelerated timelines through the entire process. He was responsive and very knowledgeable about the permitting and building process. Pricing and turnaround times were very reasonable and competitive. The report was thorough and definitive. One thing that could be improved: it wasn't until our structural engineer discussed the soil report with Bruce that we were told the soil analysis and report we got was only to assess a pier foundation. We were also interested in whether the soil could support a mat slab foundation and we were only told afterwards that it would require a totally separate drilling, analysis and report (and another few weeks of lead time). It was confusing why our original soil analysis wasn't comprehensive enough to also say whether a mat slab would be sufficient and we would've appreciated the info beforehand. Other than that though, Bruce and his team is excellent to work with and we would definitely work with him again.

Three people just had to hire someone else and they are out $4000 because he is so horrible to work with. I am out $4500 and he is a completely unreasonable and he thinks he is smarter than anyone else, when really he is so full of himself no one can get through to him. He is super abusive, many many people have issues with his personality. This company should not exist anymore he is that bad. Will not listen and in my opnion is a complelety abusive and dishonest person. His managwr told me he does not work with push piers or do work for push piers AFTER I paid them and I ws very clear that the foundation fix I needed was being done with push piers, He took my money and he had no way to meet my needs, very dishonest, I hired Bruce Emam to do a soil test for my foundation repair and a possible addition. He called right when the workers were about to start and wanted $1000 more - shady. He tried to pressure me and yelled at me and called several times for more money before they would start working. Like he was holding me hostage. I tried to talk to him he just talked over me and was yelling over and over like he was beating me up with his words. He got off on being a bully. Very aggressive, very powerplay. He said much more extensive work was needed. I had explained the project throughly several times and all was well documented. He would just yell and not listen, total bully. The bait and switch was not appreciated. I cancelled the job and am asking for my deposit back. After calling many other soil companies I realized my job was too small and Bruce was the only one who would do it in the timeframe I needed. I called his manager and he said he would do it but I still had to pay $4500 instead of $3900. Bruce and he was upset at the bad review and wanted me to take it down. I said when I have a good experience and you guys turn out to be nice pople I can take down the bad review. He did the soils report and asked for my money before he would send the report. I said I paid him a deposit I would like to make sure he did the report before paying, but I ended up paying. His report apparently stated they needed concrete piers which are three times more expensive and according to the foundation company completely unnecessary. They said it completely over the top, Those are only used on a landslide or slopes in extreme situations and my ground is flat and totally not needed. He is just all about money. I feel He is intentionally trying to screw me over and make the job three times more expensive. I feel He is very much a power-play guy, holds people hostage has SERIOUS, SERIOUS control Issues, has "I have to be right issues". In my personal opinion, There is something psychologically wrong with this guy. It seems to me he enjoys being vicious and will try to destroy you if you disagree with him. I would never never never recommend this company to anyone and I feel he is a scam artist and highly unethical because he is such a control freak. I am thinking of calling the other people who have worked with him and had to get a totally new report to file a class action lawsuit with me against this terror of a man. Any takers??? He is all about money and a complete CONTROL FREAK AND YOU MUST OBEY HIM OR HE WILL BE BRUTALLY MEAN TO YOU. His own workers say there are many complaints about his personality. I need a full refund or I am seriously considering a lawsuit againt this unethical dishonest bully. This is my experience. This guy is BAD. This is my personal experience with this highly ABUSIVE and overly dominant individual STAY AWAY.
