UTES

I required a Balcony Restoration Permit fairly quickly to move forward with my project.

That means I required a Structural Engineer to review and approve plans. From there, Arash took care of all the forms, submissions, etc etc. And when we had questions or concerns, no issues. He took the calls even AFTER his service had concluded. Very professional.

It was headache-free. There were no surprises. He made everything seamless and efficient.

We are pleased to highly recommend Arash from Utes.

We were EXTREMELY satisfied with Arash services.

Arash was very through and addressed all our concerns quickly and politely. I recommend Arash for your permit and site needs.

Arash was able to determine if my 2 storey house could bear the load of adding a 3rd floor. He provided me with several options for optimizing how I could increase the square footage density while minimizing possible objections from the committee of adjustment. He also demonstrated flexibility in combining elements of the various options so that I could consider moving forward with a solution that best met my particular needs.

We hired Utes to design, architect and engineer drawings for a new Garage we were building, as well as submit & guide these documents through the Toronto Committee of Adjustments & building permit process. Throughout the whole process, Arash was extremely professional, courteous & very responsive. Every time I had a question or needed some clarity on anything, Arash was there to help and did so in the most professional way.
Highly recommend Utes for any structure engineering work, and will definitely go back for any future work. Thank you Arash.

We contacted Utes to provide a structural assessment of our east Toronto, semi-detached home’s 34 year old, 2nd storey extension. The Utes structural engineer promptly scheduled an appointment, conducted a thorough, on-site assessment of the extension including both its interior and exterior condition with particular attention to the foundation footings. Utes provided a preliminary verbal opinion at the time of the visit and followed up with an excellent, detailed, written report that included
recommendations and professional stamp within a week of the on-site visit. Before finalizing the report Utes provided us with a draft for comment. Utes was completely
professional in their conduct, observed all COVID19 protocols, and were friendly, open and polite. Payment was easily made in two instalments by eTransfer. We highly recommend Utes.

Arash was very prompt and clear with his scope of work and provided a full breakdown of costs and options.
He was on time and did the review as indicated.
Definitely recommend.

Quick to respond and set appointment, arrived promptly. Was efficient, professional, and friendly. I would use again.

We had a small-ish residential job. Not a new build. We needed a city permit hence required a structural engineer to review plans and certify. We recieved 3 Quotes from Homestars recommended providers for a Structural Engineer. We hired Utes simply because Utes was very responsive, honoured his time committments and was an excellent communicator. We appreciated his professonalism and the fact that he honored his time committments. Always on time. Always on schedule. He made the process to obtain a City Permit effortless. A true pleasure to work with.

Arash was professional and courteous from the outset of our home renovation project. We ran into issues with the Urban Forestry department in the city and Arash was able to help us navigate the obstacles to get the project back on track. Great engineering firm we will definitely consult again for future projects. Highly recommend UTES for drawings, permits and knowledge in the overall process.

Utes Engineering was a pleasure to work with - Arash responded and coordinated a site visit very quickly and was responsive throughout the process. The job relates to removal of a structural post on main floor of a two story house - preliminary plans had been drawn up by the contractor and Arash was open to working in a complimentary way and to providing insightful alternative solutions as necessary. Highly recommend these services for a residential structural job
