    We hired Emad to help us with septic system design and plan for our property. Emad was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the requirements and guidelines established by each city, makes recommendations that take our budget into consideration and is patient in answering our questions. He stayed in constant communication with us about the status of our project and was transparent with the cost and time it will take. Overall I highly recommend Emad!

    Thank you Emad for the quick inspection of the pool during our escrow. Your professionalism and knowledge was truly appreciated! Buyers are happy with the report you provided and quick turn around time. Definitely recommend!

    Running Springs foundation repair
    Nikolay G.

    Emad and Amgad have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I approached them for help with a challenging project. We bought a cottage on a steep hill in Running Springs, CA. The house had a cracked foundation and I was not sure what would be the best approach for repair, considering the location. Emad took the time to explain all my options and provided recommendations. The team at SME Engineering has extensive experience working on hillside projects which gave me a lot of confidence in their recommendations. In addition to providing the plans/drawings for the repairs, Emad personally visited the site multiple times, he even spent time trying to help with finding an available contractor. Again, the project was tricky, and finding a qualified and available team to get the work done was not easy. I ended up working with one of the teams that Emad recommended, which also did a fantastic job. Last but not least, Emad personally visited the site multiple times and worked closely with the contractor to make sure they are following the plans correctly. If I work on more projects in the mountains, I am definitely going to use the services of SME Engineering again, and you should too! A+++

    We we're looking for an established contractor to design a full size RV Garage and guide us through the permitting process. The proposed build site was on a property we own in Corona. Amgad and Em travelled to our location and discussed the plan with us personally before we ever made a commitment. Enduring through a city's "plan checks" can be arduous but necessary to ensure the structure meets city and state coded guidelines. I can say that without exception, the professional drawings submitted by SME Engineering were excellent with zero rejections... they know their business. Our delays had to do with fire sprinkler requirements and geology reports that were eventually mitigated with SME's assistance. I would definitely recommend SME Engineering to anyone requiring expert architectural assistance for a small or large project.

    Before and after - 24' of Fleetwood Sliders

    Where do I start? This review is long overdue, but I wanted good "after pictures" to show the finished product. I found SME Engineering on Yelp during a long arduous "to the studs" remodel on our second home in Palm Springs. On this particular project, we wanted to basically blow out two whole walls along the back of our house and put in all sliders to create that open indoor-outdoor vacation vibe to our covered patio and pool area. This wasn't going to be an easy job to retrofit an older house with this new concept. I scoured Yelp for a structural engineer that was competent and still provided good value for the services rendered. After speaking with a few companies, I chose Amgad at SME due to his extremely responsive nature, the reviews from his former customers, he fit in our budget, and he was willing to help us find a General Contractor for the actual work (which was near impossible during all the covid remodels). Throughout the process, Amgad was cheery, helpful, insightful, and responsive to my every request. I had never worked with a structural engineer before, but Amgad made the process simple for me. In the middle of the construction, I would have nightmares that the house would collapse while the supports were holding the house up. Despite every assurance being made to me that the process that was being taken was secure and stable, I remained nervous (that is just my nature). BUT what I came to find out towards the end of the project (from comments from the GC, the inspectors, and others in the trade), Amgad was very conservative with his approach to ensure safety if there was ever an earthquake, etc. The footings were placed 10 ft down because of the type of soil/sand that PS is built on and the weight of our tiled roof. Everyone I spoke to was blown away at how he took every precaution and now I feel very comfortable that nothing will happen to our new structure under any circumstances. Amgad was great ALL-AROUND to work with, but the qualities I appreciate most from him are his competency, his ability to get back to me almost immediately whenever I needed to ask him something, and his availability to be a continued resource to the GC who did the work (that he helped me secure) without charging extra to ensure that his plans were followed exactly. Again, I was thrilled during and after working with Amgad and so I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have and I also have TONS of pictures throughout the process I am happy to show anyone if you want to private message me. Thanks, Amgad!

They will do whatever it takes to get you to sign the contract. The work is subpar and just plain BAD in most aspects. I'm posting this to protect anyone researching making an investment in a remodel or rehab. Their subcontractors are constantly discussing money and contracts with us the homeowners instead of the employer. Trust me - Look elsewhere. This company DOES BAD work, they do not communicate well, and they will argue with everything. These pics are just a few examples of what we'll have to fix or pay other people to fix. Run!!! Find another company!!! Larry's response below is nonsense also. Nothing complex whatsoever, but for this company it must have been. Absolute nonsense and gaslighting like every other conversation with Larry. If he ever listened. Met him once and never saw him again. He just collects money and makes up excuses for shoddy work. For the record- they still have my house key - never returned it. They left many items undone and garbage for us to clean up after them as well.

They did a great job, everything looks solid, and they left the area really clean. I'm happy with how it turned out and will definitely call Moreno Framing and Carpentry again for future projects.
