From start to finish, the level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail was truly outstanding. The engineer demonstrated a deep understanding of structural integrity while also respecting the design vision for the space. He carefully evaluated the existing structure and developed precise plans to safely support the load while allowing us to achieve the open, modern kitchen we wanted. His calculations and documentation were thorough and well-organized, which made the permitting and construction process much smoother. What impressed me most was his ability to balance technical precision with practical solutions. He communicated clearly, answered all questions patiently, and ensured the plans were easy for the contractor to follow. The result was a seamless transformation--our kitchen now feels bright, spacious, and beautifully integrated with the rest of the home. If you need an engineer for structural modifications, especially for projects involving load-bearing walls, I highly recommend his services. His expertise, reliability, and commitment to quality truly set him apart.

From the outset, Ramy took the time to truly understand our site and our motivations for the project - specifically, creating a space to care for a parent. He carefully considered the site's constraints and opportunities, along with the real-world conditions that affect construction, and never relied on a generic, cookie-cutter approach. Ramy exceeded every timeline he set. He delivered both the initial concepts and final plans faster than promised, without sacrificing quality or completeness. He's also extremely responsive and quick to answer questions, which kept the process moving and eliminated unnecessary stress. What really distinguishes Ramy is his deep understanding of the building process and its practical realities. He designs with construction in mind, thinking in standard material sizes, anticipating how contractors will build the project, and avoiding unnecessary complications. He knows how to take a project from concept through construction, not just how to produce drawings. Just as important, Ramy's experience with the City of Riverside's permitting process helped streamline approvals and avoid delays. His familiarity with local requirements and review cycles made a complex process feel far more manageable. Ramy was also generous with his time beyond the design work, offering guidance on contractors and next steps. As this was our first building project, his calm, steady presence made a real difference and gave us confidence that we were in good hands and not navigating the process alone. Beyond his technical skill, Ramy is simply a pleasure to work with - thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely invested in his clients' success.

He offered smart suggestions that made our project more cost-effective while also adding long-term value to our home. Ponce Design delivered and took the time to walk us through everything in person. The county of Riverside permit requirements are very strict, and it was clear that Sean knew what the county would require. When the county had requests we didn't agree with, he communicated directly with the county planner on our behalf and guided us through the process with confidence and clarity. You get what you pay for with Ponce Design--his work is high quality, detailed, and thoughtful. His expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend him for any home or ADU project. He is absolutely worth it. Thank you, Mr. Ponce, GT

Our…read moreremodel design included removing (2) walls and adding (2) windows in the kitchen, expanding the laundry room, and raising a sunken conversation pit in the living room. Upon initial contact we emailed details of our project and then had a video conference with Fredy and Nanak to discuss the project in more detail along with their services. A contract for the work was issued and signed and Fredy came out for a site visit to begin. Structural and mechanical engineered plans were then developed with a set of preliminary drawings for our review. We discussed a few adjustments we wanted to be made to the design and then finalized the design details. A stamped set of mechanical and structural engineered plans were issued and submitted to the city via OConsulting on our behalf for the city's review and approval. The engineering and plans were so well done that the only request the city had were minor verbiage to be added to the front page of the plans indicating wind speed of the area, that the property is within an HOA and that no oil drilling is located on the property. With the addition of the specified verbiage to the plans the city then approved the stamped set of plans and the building permit was successfully issued. Our experience with Fredy and Nanak at OConsulting was a pleasant experience. Both Fredy and Nanak were personally a pleasure to work with. They answered all of our questions, listened well to our design goals and vision, were attentive to our project and because of their highly skilled knowledge and skillset they made it possible for us to proceed with beginning construction on our remodel. We are very pleased and grateful for the professionalism of the service we were provided with and are very happy to recommend OConsulting. Thank you to Fredy and Nanak for the excellent service you gave to us and for making our remodel visions possible.
