Obtain Pool Permit

Arash did an exceptional job helping us with drawings and obtaining the city's pool closures and alteration permit.
Arash spent time with the city engineers to understand their requirements, alter drawings to their satisfaction, and obtain our permit.
Arash is very knowledgeable and professional and provided a lot of technical advice during our project. I recommend UTES to everyone.
Thanks so much, Arash.

Structural engineer - evaluation

I highly recommend Arash.
I contacted him to inspect the front pillars of my house that I thought were shifting. He came at the agreed upon date and time - soon after I contacted him.

He did a thorough inspection on the inside and outside. He provided me with verbal recommendation, followed by an email. He is very knowledgeable. He was polite, personable and took time to explain. He gave practical advice for going forward.
He followed up to ensure I understood his recommendations.

Structural Wall Assessment

I bought an older bungalow built in the 1960s with a non conventional home structure. I reached out to Arash to help determine if certain walls were structural because I wanted to break it down to create open concept environment.

Arash came TWICE to check to make sure assessment was accurate.
