Get matched with top architects/engineers in Bethesda, MD

"My contractor removed the wall and now I have a wonderful open-island kitchen with granite.  Kamran was amazing, super professional, responsive and very honest from a price perspective.  He charged only 275 for one inspection, when all the other structural engineering company who gave me a quotation, would have charged 400-500 dollars only for the inspection.  He charged me only once, even if he came out twice.  So happy with his services, I decided to call him again to assess the possibility to place a roof-deck on my roof.  He came, inspected the roof, made a positive assessement and did not charge me for the visit, saying that if we decided to move forward with the deck, he would have charged me next time when he would come to take the measurements.  Kamran was so kind to provide me with the contact of another contractor specialized in roof decks, with prices much more competitive than those on the market. I am very happy with his service and will for sure contact him again every time I will need a structural engeneering advice.

"We needed some advice on a structural engineering concern arising during a kitchen renovation and we needed it fast and simple to understand. Azzam was able to come to our house fairly quickly and provide both a diagnosis of the problem and some some reasonable solution options that were practical and doable. He was able to simply answer all my questions in a way that a non structural engineer could understand. I highly recommend Triple J Consulting"

"This company is wonderful. The project manager, Jason, and his crew were amazing. They turned a tiny bathroom and tiny room into a large, gorgeous, elegant bathroom. I used this company for two other bathroom remodels. Be sure you get Jason if you want a professional and efficient team."

"Justin came by to evaluate the job on a Saturday morning after missing our initially scheduled meeting, getting hung up on another project.  He was pleasant and knowledgeable about what was needed to complete the job.  He promised an estimate by Monday and followed through on that promise.  He was able to work us in within a couple of days later.  He and his two man crew hung the drywall in a single day, working around garage door openers support brackets and other unique cuts.  I was impressed when he pointed out that he had marked the multiple drain pipe cleanouts and valves buried behind the drywall for future reference.  The gentleman he sent the following morning completed the mud and tape work.  My only critique would be that he seemed to rush to finish and the work done in the later part of the morning did not match the quality of his work early on and it will require some touch up work on my part.  However, I was very pleased overall with the quality of the work, the professionalism of the workmen and the great attitude displayed by everyone.  I would not hesitate to hire Adam Contracting again.

"The engineer was very prompt, very clear. He gave me exactly the information I needed to make a decision, and more. He has also worked in my neighborhood before."

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

"Todd Willoughby is a very talented architect. We have had the pleasure of working with him to design our custom home in Middleburg, Virginia. Todd is extremely knowledgeable about residential and commercial construction. This is our third custom home, and we have worked with several other architects on various projects through the years. My husband is in commercial construction and has worked with numerous architects in the past forty years. The biggest difference with Todd is that we felt as though he wanted to design the house that WE wanted, not the house that he wanted to design for us. He listened to every suggestion and made every change we recommended to design our home exactly the way we envisioned. His step by step design process allowed us to see our ideas come together. We were able to see whether we were achieving the look we had in mind. Todd gave us very helpful suggestions. He responded to every question and email almost immediately. He told us exactly what to expect and when to expect it. His 3D model was amazing and unbelievably helpful in allowing us to "experience" the sizes of the rooms, windows and many other little details. It gave a perspective that is just not possible to get from a 2D drawing. Todd was even able to put the civil engineer's grading plan on 3D showing the house and property. We have never seen an architect be able to do this. It helped immensely. We could not have been more pleased with Todd Willoughby's skills, knowledge, responsiveness, professionalism and ability to deliver exactly what we wanted by the date promised. His pricing for his services is very competitive and reasonable. He is truly a nice guy. We look forward to working with Todd again in the near future."

"I was very happy with the work done, it took a while, but I was not in a hurry, and appreciate all the attention to detail to get it right.  I don't think it was an easy job.

"Great drawings and very professional. I’m putting this project on hold until the fall. It appears there’s other items on the foundation wall that needs to be taken care of before the landscaping company can do their job"

"I wish to highly recommend Michael Shannon and his company, Managed Renovations, to anyone considering a home renovation or construction of a new home. We engaged Mr. Shannon in 2007 to provide preliminary construction advice and then to act as our construction management consultant so we could effectively act as our own general contractor for the actual construction of our new home in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He was involved in every aspect of the project from reviewing preliminary plans and final permit drawings, to preparing an extremely detailed estimate of construction costs, to recommending skilled and very capable trade contractors for all of the required tasks and then scheduling and supervising the contractors that we hired to do the actual construction of the house. He coordinated and oversaw all aspects of this project in a very efficient and timely manner. He maintained a wonderful working relationship with me and my wife and everyone associated with the project. Our architect was very impressed with his construction knowledge, creativity, and attention to details. His interaction with our contractors, architect, engineers, county agencies, and utilities was exemplary. He was able to schedule and coordinate seamlessly the work of the myriad suppliers, construction trades, county inspectors etc. that all are necessary for a fast, efficient and satisfactory construction project with nary a hitch. Whenever any unforeseen events or unpredictable situations presented themselves, which occur in any large construction project, Mr. Shannon always resolved these situations with grace and aplomb. Mr. Shannon was never shy about suggesting alternatives that could save us money and/or result in a better product. For example, Mr. Shannon suggested a pre-cast concrete foundation construction technique that resulted in substantial cost savings and a stronger, more resilient foundation. He also suggested we have our excavation and concrete contractor install a specialized interior and exterior foundation drainage system so that the frequent, heavy rains we get in DC would never result in a drop of water in our basement. Over the twelve plus years that weâ ve lived in the house, and through may violent storms, weâ ve never had a drop of water anywhere in the house. This attention to â doing things the right wayâ is a value and practice that is lost on much of the home construction industry today. I cannot overstate his diligence, attention to detail, and his determination to help us build the house of our dreams. He was available anytime, day or night, to meet with us, and address any questions or other aspects concerning construction. His creative suggestions, integrity and willingness to â sweat the detailsâ is utterly beyond reproach. Often, on weekends and sometimes even late at night, we would see him at the construction site, reviewing the work our contractors had performed, to be sure that they had done their jobs correctly and that the house was durable, structurally sound, and a product for which he and we could be justifiably proud. And for this work, he never charged an extra penny beyond that which was called for in our building services consulting contract with his company. Finally, by enabling us to act as our own general contractor for our project, Managed Renovations allowed us to build our new home for less cost, less risk, and with more control (just like Michael told us he would help us do)! In a word, Mr. Shannon and Managed Renovations was the best!"
