Because Your Foundation is Fundamental.

At Design Everest, we start at the very bottom and work our way up. It’s a gusto for stability that drives our structural engineers to provide the utmost dependability starting with your home’s foundation.

Structural Plans & Permit Sets

Remodeling can be the best choice for upgrading your home to match your current lifestyle. Maybe a house extension, additional story or ADU will give you and your family some much-needed elbow room. Or maybe it’s time for that dream kitchen to come to life. Either way, getting spot-on structural plans and permits can be a tricky and slow process without the right knowledge.

Not only do Design Everest structural engineers know your city’s permitting process like the back of our hands, but we help you craft creative, practical and lasting solutions for a stunning home.

Structural Evaluation

Concerned about cracks, sloping or settlement of an existing home or recent purchase? A structural inspection evaluates a home’s structural soundness from the ground up. No stone goes unturned as our licensed experts take a hard look at foundations, framing, shear walls, load bearing walls and more to uncover potential trouble spots and provide solutions.

In addition, Design Everest pros issue a comprehensive structural engineer inspection report so you fully understand any challenges and gain next steps for a bright outcome.

Structural Calculations

Whether you’re building new or renovating, your project needs structural calculations to make sure your dream home stays standing. Everything from digging the foundation and building materials to reinforcements and final costs are carefully scrutinized. Plus, our structural engineers provide a detailed analysis of affected joints, walls, beams and roof load.

With Design Everest, you can relax knowing your home is in the right hands.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I have used Design Everest for several houses and the experience has been great each time. They have a team of designer, architects, structural engineers, and project managers to make sure things are constantly being completed and moving forward. Their guidance and experience helped navigate through issues before they 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."

"It's probably one of the few firms you can fully trust in the Bay Area. I got referred by a friend to Design Everest for a kitchen and bathroom remodel of my condo. They sent an architect to map out the current conditions of our house. The architect was very patient as we took our time to go through the plans, and he also suggested which complemented the way we wanted to remodel our home. They completed the plans within two weeks, and overall it was a very satisfying process. We are very happy to go with Design Everest. We will surely go with them if we need any engineering work in the future!"

"Design Everest provided timely and accurate Mechanical and Plumbing drawings which were approved by the local jurisdiction the first time they were submitted. This was a short-notice commercial permit which made timing even more crucial, and they came through big time for us."

"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 questions answered. I will use them on future projects!"

"We worked with a designer, a PM, 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"

"I ordered an engineering report for a real estate transaction for the foundation portion of inspections. Great company, easy scheduling, great report that was complete and concise. The engineer reported on the foundation as well as the structure itself. Highly recommend."
