Best Structural engineers in United States

Expert professionals with high ethical standards. Helpful and knowledgeable

Ceed Civil Engineering has consistently delivered top-notch engineering solutions. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Highly recommend for any civil engineering project!

I cannot remember having a better experience as a customer.

Ryan was highly responsive, had wonderful attention to detail, and saw to it that my project was completed early!

I look forward to future projects with Ceed Civil Engineering.

I worked with Aaron and Ceed Engineering to edit some online plans I purchased. He was able to include needed structural PE stamps and build (framing, architectural, foundation) plan updates. He's been great to work with and is very responsive.

Could not be happier with the Ceed Civil Engineering crew. Amazing work, timely, and most importantly helped us with all of our crazy asks and questions with our first single family home build. We would not be able to build our dream home without them.

Amazing experience!! Everything went so smooth and easy. I looked into multiple companies and was eventually referred to them by a friend for my home project.

The quality was great and timely and the cost was the best from the companies I had contacted. Most importantly though they explained everything in a way I could understand which helped me to not only fulfill my expectations but exceed them. I would strongly recommend them!

Choosing to work with Ceed Civil Engineering’s structural group was the best decision I made during my building project. Their help in navigating the complicated web of choices and regulations was the foundation to a project that finished ahead of schedule and under budget. I worked with Ryan and his expertise in areas as diverse as site selection, permitting and construction made the process much more straight forward and allowed me to focus on the most important elements of the process. I would never do project without him and highly recommend them.

One of the best firms I have ever worked with. I have worked with Eric on multiple projects and product types over many years, and he brings whatever it takes to get the project done. Eric understands how projects come together after the drawings are finished, and I have never met an engineer more cognizant of how good design impacts the bottom line. He is experienced, efficient, fair, and values the time of others. I highly recommend Eric and Ceed Civil Engineering.

Ceed Civil Engineering just completed our California 16,000 SF custom home design. I was very impressed with the communication Mr. Hoover had with us from the first consultation all the way to meeting with city officials to ensure the plans were approved first round. I am always impressed when a company can complete a project not only under budget, but 38 days ahead of schedule, despite our changes we requested near the end of the project, which effected everything. Thank you again to Team Ceed for knocking this out of the park!

Fake evaluation, and judgments

I had Ceed Civil Engineering complete 3 custom home designs to build in California. They produced excellent quality construction documents for permits and their package was approved by LA County and Beverly Hills on the first round. There reputation exceeded my expectations.

We hired Adam to evaluate the possibility of adding a second floor to our home, and for the structural reconfiguration of load bearing walls in our basement. He was professional, punctual and responsive. He demonstrated great expertise in developing practical solutions for remodeling our old house. We highly recommend his services.

I would highly recommend Stephen Brown with Skarda & Associates.
I would avoid Kamran Ohi. (Below is a very detailed account as to why I select one over the other).

Prior to purchasing our house, on our first walk thru, we noticed that the garage beam was rotted where it intersected the south concrete garage wall. We asked the sellers about it, and they responded that the garage was certified okay by Kamran Ohi. We arranged a meeting with him at the house the next day, and he told us there was nothing structurally wrong with the garage. We then pointed out the rotted beam. Ten minutes later he said the beam would have to be replaced. But only the beam and the rest of the garage was fine. He took no measurements, no pictures, he didn't do any investigation of the beam or garage. He also didn't identify that water was causing the beam to rot. Thinking about it, he obviously never even looked at the beam because it was so obviously compromised that even I noticed it on a open house walk through. I can only guess why the sellers called him in - perhaps it was because they noticed water leaking from the ceiling? Kamran certainly didn't notice the rotting beam and he didn't notice water leaking into the ceiling - two things we know both existed at the time and that you would expect a professional structural engineer to identify.

2. Last year, I reluctantly emailed Kamran about the falling garage ceiling. He came to the house, took no measurements, no drawings, conducted no experiments or investigations. He told me that water was leaking into the garage (shame he didn't say that 7 years ago) and the entire garage, including the south and north walls, would have to be torn down. He said that even the east wall, with the garage door and the steel lintels, would have to be replaced because there wasn't enough support to hold up the lintels (I'm not sure how we knew that b/c that doesn't appear to be accurate). I pointed out the horizontal cracking on the exterior of the south wall (it can only be seen by accessing my neighbors back yard) and he said it was cosmetic. Although, he still said the entire garage would have to be replaced.

3. Eventually Stephen Brown with Skarda & Associates agreed to drive down from Baltimore and see the garage. Unlike Kamran, he actually measured the entire garage, including the ceiling, to determine its depth and construction method, took pictures, identified on his own the horizontal cracks in the south wall, and investigated both the construction of the south wall by pulling off exterior pieces and the construction of the wood beam and ceiling by performing tests on them. He also identified the most probable source of the water entering into the garage ceiling and made recommendations on how to repair, as opposed to destroy, the current garage. Then he produced a report that stated "No attempt was made to determine the actual load carrying capacity of the floors, roofs, or walls of the entire structure. The comments and recommendations that are contained in our report are based on the visual observations of the structure as it now exists. In many cases, the structural elements of the building were covered by architectural materials, which were not removed. Therefore, it is possible that some unseen conditions and latent structural defects, which would alter our report, may exist." In essence, he did everything you would expect from a structural engineer - identified the problems on his own, found the source of the problems, and described a way to fix the problem. He also identified what still needed to be done - specifically - perform a thorough examination of the walls and floor to determine their load carrying capacity.

I usually enjoy my experience here but I think because they're closing, they didn't put any effort into the brunch on 02/23/2020. The people serving the food were not wearing gloves like usual. The crablegs that are always available were never served. We were given 3 shrimp at a time and I thought that was unreasonable for the amount of money that brunch costs. There was no fried chicken until the very end of my visit and it wasn't a variety of parts like usual. They only served wings. It was just a mess.

One of the top in their field. You know you get extensive quality work and support when you bring Hinman on board.

Issac thinks he is so smooth but he is slimy, dishonest and adds zero value. Stay far far away!

Kamran and Jasmine has always been a great help to our company. Whenever we need to install a new air conditioning unit on the roof and it's heavier they get us a stamped letter to our customers telling them whether it's safe or not to add the extra weight. Most of the time we need this done quickly and they always pull through for us. I highly recommend anyone who needs Structual engineering work done to use this company.

Very disappointing. At St Nicholas Cathedral in DC we decided that it is time to finally repair the front entrance steps and make few improvements at the same time. Not a small project. They were so convincing at first and so helpful until a month after we signed their contract. For 3 months I kept calling and emailing asking to speak to one of the engineers, or at least get a status of my project with no results. I asked them many times to at least let me know if they will/will not be working on my project. Finally I was way behind planned schedule so I had to find new Engineering company. Not sure what was the problem, they are one of the top companies in the area.

Very professional and experienced group.

Its a good company
