He was incredibly knowledgeable and hands-on, especially when it came to navigating city requirements, securing permits, and coordinating inspections, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable.

Ryan was proactive in flagging issues early and thoughtful about solutions, and the final result exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him for any major renovation or construction project.

I feel somewhat bad writing this review just because I didn't have the fortune to work with the people that are good at this company. If you happen to get Kent Sezen, he is the weakest link. An engineer who is simultaneously rude and when called out on that rudeness, petulant and perhaps even vindictive. He ignores design constraints, and "phones-in" his work, says he's done prematurely and needs payment NOW (see prior review of Kent, its so true). He has a very large ego that is bruised easily. I will give him this: When I asked him to not treat my contractor like his personal secretary, he immediately responded "I quit", and I asked him to stay on because I thought he was over-reacting to me asking him to be nicer. I should've let him go at that moment and its on me that I didn't. At the sake of supporting his competent co-engineers, maybe they are worth using, but it's unfortunate they have tied themselves to this guy.

Additionally the output from the structural engineers was efficiently shown in a virtual meeting describing exactly what changes are required and they worked with the contractor to find the most cost-efficient design.

After the plans were released and payment was made Lokesh remained very responsive to requests as they come up. I would definitely use Prostruct again if I have another structural engineering project.

After dealing with a basement flood and running a fan and dehumidifier extensively I noticed…read moreseveral cracks in a support beam. It's possible that they'd been there for a long time, but I uploaded the photos to Claude and it strongly recommended getting a structural engineer to assess the damage. I put out several inquiries and ProStruct responded very quickly. I had a free phone consultation with Irvin Chua of ProStruct and he said that he could have an engineer assess the cracked beam and to look for any other sources of damage. Note, that one will need to pay upfront ($875 is their standard fee), which gave me some pause but moved forward as there didn't look to be many structural engineers with a Yelp presence. Irvin arranged for their engineer, Francis, to make a site visit. Francis was professional and confirmed that the foundation and support beams all were in good shape aside from the crack. He went over his recommended repairs and noted that a handyman could handle it and we didn't need a contractor, which saved us money. The report provided was clear and detailed and the handyman had no problems following the recommendations. Repairs are now complete and we have peace of mind that our housing support is solid again.

Shrey was the project manager and Marcus was the lead engineer. They worked closely with our architect to complete the initial structural engineering and were very responsive throughout the entire process. After we submitted the plans to the city, there were several questions and comments from the city, and the team responded quickly and worked with our architect to address them. Whenever additional discussion was needed, Shrey and Marcus were readily available for video calls with us and our architect to review the issues and resolve any outstanding items. Their communication and follow-up were excellent. Their pricing was also very reasonable, and overall we were very pleased with the quality of their work, responsiveness, and professionalism. I would definitely recommend SF Bay Engineering to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive structural engineering team.

They didn't answer the bulk of my questions, and they ended stating they don't have the bandwidth to take on my project.
