Eli not only led the design, but also guided me throughout the process with the kind of advice you'd expect from a friend. He's resourceful, knowledgeable, and consistently responsive.

After our initial consultation, I knew he was the right man for the job. He became our PM, engineer, architect, permit expert, et al. He had a monumental task before him; including sorting out all the environmental issues, correcting/recreating work done by other contractors, finding solutions for issues neither of us had previously dealt with, etc. He saved us so much time/money. 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!

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.

Some of that work was duplicated in my house, which was helpful. Every step was excellent. From initial consultation, design (plus follow-up changes), demo, install, and completion/cleanup. The best part? Only a tad over six weeks to do the work!! That timeline is among the many reasons to consider Seismic. Most firms outsource - 'sub out,' if you will. All those subcontractors may well be excellent. But any delay for their work hits your calendar. Rocky and his team handle just about everything in-house. Which really speeds up the process without impacting quality. Suffice to say, when I have another need that Rocky and his team can handle I'll be calling him first.

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.
