PROJECTS

I have used Design Everest for several houses and the experience has been great each time. They have a team of designers, architects, structural engineers, and project managers to make sure things are constantly being completed and moving forward. We went through countless iterations until my vision was brought to life. Their guidance and experience helped navigate through issues before the arose, bringing our dream into reality. I will recommend Design Everest to anyone looking to complete the plans of their dreams quickly with a team of experts at a reasonable price.

David B. Oakland, CA

I am impressed with Aakash and his team. Extremely professional, superbly responsive, meticulous in their quality of work. I could not have asked for more. I have definitely enjoyed working with them and would certainly recommend them to friends and family !!

Rahul C. Milpitas, CA

I have worked with 4-5 engineers over the last two years of running my architecture firm. Sadly, I hadn't quite found an engineer that was a good fit for me. After working with Design Everest on 3-4 projects in the last few months, I've been really impressed. They have a clear pricing structure, thorough drawings and calculation. They have taken the initiative to drive project progress and work well with owners and consultants. Highly recommended if you need any structural work done in the Bay Area!

Danny B. Bay Area, CA

We worked with a designer, a project manager, a structural engineer, and a Title 24 expert from Design Everest to design an ADU. Their close coordination allowed us to remotely design a custom ADU during the coronavirus epidemic. They were patient and allowed the design to iterate many times. Now it's time to build the ADU!

Douglas M. Marina Del Ray, Los Angeles, CA

I used Design Everest for the structural engineering on a new single family home. It was a unique project as it is in the burn scar of the Valley Fire in Lake County. We are building on the foundation from the previous home. From my first contacts with Design Everest, they were professional, excellent listeners and worked to be accommodating on this unusual project. We had a "bump in the road" and the team worked together to quickly resolve the problem and turned out great results. The plans were reviewed by the County Building Department on the first pass and the permit issued.

Patrick K. Marina Del Ray, Sacramento, CA

Design Everest is a very organized and professional company, I can't say enough good things about them. They are very prompt and courteous in all communications. Their prices are competitive. I recently had a project I needed engineering for right away, they promised a date and delivered right on time which enabled the project to continue without any headaches. Thank you, Design Everest!

PLATFORM WITH A GOAL TO CREATE SPACE FOR LEADERS OF THE ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

We believe there is a missed opportunity to address the issues around housing in California. Collectively we failed to use the opportunity of technology and innovation in the most fundamental part of our dwelling: Housing and construction. Therefore, we created this platform to hear from the pioneers and disruptors of the scene to think together and find a way forward.
