for Residential and Commercial Building
One of the most common kinds of home interior remodels and commercial tenant improvements require removing one or more load bearing walls to create a more open space. While it is no small task to take down a load bearing wall, it provides your space with a more open layout and makes it feel bigger and freer inside.
While sometimes a load bearing wall can be identified based on its location, it often takes a certified structural engineer to determine if the wall is load bearing or not and if it is, how to safely remove it while still keeping your building structurally safe and sound in the event of an earthquake. Our California structural engineers can make the determination from either an onsite inspection or by looking at your building’s original blueprints that may be on record with your city’s building department. The accidental demolition of a load bearing wall without consulting a licensed structural engineer can cause a lot of damage to both life and property.
for Residential and Commercial Building
Is your building prone to earthquakes? Our expert structural engineer retrofit team in California can do the necessary evaluations and engineering for a seismic retrofit or a soft story retrofit.

Aakash and the designer Mr. John Mabe have been very patient with me. I had 8 iterations of the design where we are remodelling a four bedroom two bath house in Palo Alto to a five bedroom four bath house and adding a family room. The main constraint was utilizing the maximum allowed square footage and reusing as much of the structure as possible to minimize construction costs while at the same time designing a large family home.
On all these three counts, John has delivered well. I have run the design by more than a dozen contractors, and many have praised that this has been the best design they had seen ever in terms of details and structural engineering.
Thanks John and Aakash.
When I found Design Everest on the web, I sent a short email and had a response immediately. They took the time to explain the process of designing and structural engineering. This was my first project and had a ton of questions and got all of my question answered. I will use them on future projects!
Design Everest was amazing to work with. I had called a few other structural engineers and they all said they were 6-8 weeks out in terms of availability. Design Everest came out the next day and completed a structural inspection in a very professional manner. They also followed up multiple times to make sure I was satisfied with their work and to see if I understood everything. This was the second time I've used them and I've now told my friends about them. Highly recommend! Jessica and Marcus were great to work with.
We recently used Design Everest for a complicated new 3 story building in a commercial district of San Francisco. Great value for a complex building.
