I connected with Michael for a consult on vaulting a ceiling in a potential house we were…read moreconsidering to buy. The contractors we spoke with needed input from a structural engineer, and Michael was able to do a quick summary of structural ramifications and structural redlines of the rough floor plan. I was extremely impressed by his responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work even for this small ask. He charges by the hour and I was more than happy to pay for his time, but he provided the detailed summary with just the floor plan and didn't even ask for payment in the end as we were just looking for an estimate for cost of construction. I would recommend Michael to anyone seeking a structural engineer, and would be happy to hire him in the future if I need his services again.

I had Seismic Northwest install a reinforcing beam, drywall work, and electrical. They did a great…read morejob with the beam and the drywall work, the electrical was another matter. Long story short, I requested that all of the new connections be made in boxes that were accessible, such that if there is ever an issue, the connection points are easily discoverable and accessible. Despite the communication, the net result was that they left 2 hidden connections in the ceiling, and what's worse, they used 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. While communicating about the boxes etc, they were not honest on 2 different occasions; once where I had to push back for them to expose a connection that was hidden, and another time when I discovered the hidden connections they created in order to expose a connection in box. I had another electrician come out to fix the issues after I discovered the hidden connections and 14 gauge wire. Now, for what is worth, I don't know how much the issue stemmed from Rocky or the crew he had on the job. If they just did the structural work and the drywall, I'd easily give them 5 stars, but because of the unfortunate experience with their electrical work, I had to bring it down to 2 stars. If they just did electrical, I would have easily given then 1.

Previously, I worked with…read moreanother residential structural engineer regarding some concerns I was having about a new house I purchased. I needed some additional information from that engineer, but after a month of trying to reach him, I finally gave up and put calls out to new well-reviewed structural engineers. Out of the six I contacted, Dimitry was one of only two who actually got back to me, and within a timely manner. I was very impressed with his knowledge and his ability to translate everything into laymen's terms that I could understand. Additionally, he spent an extremely long amount of time on my property, looking at everything and pouring over the construction plans. I felt confident that he was considering everything before giving his opinion and suggestions. Lastly, I found his rates more than reasonable, especially for the amount of time he spent on my property and his level of expertise. I highly recommend Dimitry and Structural Design Shop if you are in need of a knowledgeable, experienced residential structural engineer.

Dmitriy is a godsend. We're so grateful to have found him. We had a pretty complex problem surface…read moreright in the middle of demolition for a small entryway project, and our current structural engineer suggested we demolish the entire front of our house from roof to foundation -- an overwhelming and baffling suggestion. I reached out to Dmitriy in a panic and he was available to swing by practically the next day and immediately come up with a series of far more nuanced, elegant solutions that actually took into account the age of our house and the scale of the project. After his initial site visit, he was able to get detailed structural sketches to us in under 3 days. In a city where structural engineers are routinely turning down projects or quoting weeks or even months-long turnaround times, that in itself was a miracle. You can tell he works hard and definitely knows his stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out if you need an extremely smart and impossibly responsive pro to swoop in and save your ass, like we did! Thank you so much again, Dmitriy.

After our initial consultation, I knew he was the right man for the job. He became our PM, engineer, architect, permit expert, et al.

We now have an approved King County permit in hand and ready to build! This is entirely due to Eli's creativity, expertise and skill. We wholeheartedly recommend ESG Design. Eli, thank you!

I contacted SDA two weeks ago to get plans drawn up for a basement window addition. I completed…read moreand submitted their required form, and sent an e-mail asking how I could pay my deposit and when we could get scheduled. I never heard back. I e-mailed them a week later and they acknowledged they lost track of my form. (However, because of that, they were willing to fast track my project, so that was nice.) They later called me asking what dimensions the window needed to be, how far off the ground it needed to be, and how wide the window well needed to be. This seemed odd to me, being that they are in fact that design engineer. They told me this is something that would need to come from my contractor. When I talked to my contractor (who's been great), he said this is information that always comes from the engineer and while he's familiar with some of the general requirements, it's the design engineer that knows all the specs. I called Chris at SDA back and told him my contractor and interior designer were more comfortable with relying on the engineer's knowledge of local permitting requirements. Chris interrupted me mid-sentence and said "Ok well I can't help you then" and hung up on me. How an engineer isn't familiar with basic, local permitting requirements is beyond me and is quite scary. Be wary.
