Get matched with top architects/engineers in Orange, CA

"I recently worked with Design X Architects on a tenant improvement (TI) project. We encountered several difficulties with the city that required design changes that I did not want to make. Design X was able to fight for what I wanted and get it through as is. They have a deep understanding of city codes and zoning, which enabled them to argue back to the city and make our vision a reality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an architect."

"Bryan from level Engineering was very helpful and was aware of our time line. We really appreciated his work."

"GS ArcDesign has had the privilege of working with New Beginning Engineering for many years, successfully completing over 15 projects together, with more projects currently in progress. Throughout this collaboration, I have consistently experienced the highest level of professionalism, reliability, and technical expertise from their team. Their services—including structural design, structural calculations, energy compliance (Title-24), and MEP engineering—have been integral to both residential and commercial projects, particularly those involving legalization and permitting. Each project has been handled with thoroughness, precision, and a commitment to excellence. As an architectural firm, we rely heavily on engineering partners who are not only skilled but also dependable and trustworthy. New Beginning Engineering has consistently met and exceeded those expectations, making them one of our most valued collaborators. I hold a very positive impression of New Beginning Engineering and confidently recommend their services to anyone seeking competent, reliable, and professional engineering support."

"We have been working with Sam on our home project to take down a load bearing wall and we are pleased with his work. I liked that he enjoyed small projects and the city engineer approved the plans the first time they were submitted. He also has come by to inspect the work our contractor has performed and advised the corrections that needed to be made so our home would be structurally sound. I highly recommend."

"They drafted up engineering plans for me to go from a composition shingle roof to a metal roof, added 5 skylights, so they had to calculate and engineer the rafters around the skylights, plus adding a roof cover over the front porch. Their calculations included swapping out the ridge beam to a larger beam and some supports upstairs for the ridge beam. Their turn around time was quick."

"I worked with Alpha once before, and they assisted with a second project 2 years ago which, now finally completed, I'm able to write a review about. Alpha helped with structural plans for windows in a garden level unit in order to prepare the proposal for city approval. Alpha is a big company and it took them a little while to complete everything; however I can certainly say that the engineer and contact people were knowledgeable and thorough. The plans were approved with their help and now that the unit is permitted for occupancy, the windows are a lovely attribute to the space."

"Francisco is a very professional person; he assists you with the entire process involving the city, and his prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend him."

"Raj, is a stand-up guy full of integrity. We needed Structural Engineering Design and Calculation services for a retaining wall in our backyard- the wall is neighbor adjacent and retaining a slop, and would exceed 75LF in length and 4FT height. It needed to be designed thoughtfully; And we needed it to be prepared and presented to the City for a Building Permit, so it also had to adhere to our city's unique municipal codes and ordinances. And we needed it done ASAP. Raj, took the challenge and delivered! Raj, came over immediately, he worked over the weekend for us, and delivered all the necessary designs, calculations and drawings, such that it can go to the City by Monday morning. All while putting up with our countless questions, emails, and phone calls. And of course the Engineers at the City Planning & Building Department granted the permit without hassle. His patience, professionalism, and calm demeanor is why we will call Raj again for all of our Engineering needs in the future."

"Structural Engineer Ehab contacted me about my residential property inquiry. He had already reviewed my property and the general situation I was inquiring about when I called him back. We spoke to me about his concerns with the project and answered all my questions over the phone. He was excellent to work with. Professional & Knowledgeable. Would highly recommend reaching out for technical issues concerning residential engineering. The reason he wasn't hired was that he provided feedback that dissuaded us from taking on a costly project that would not have achieved our stated goals. I will definitely reach out to Ehab in the future prior to beginning any major residential addition or remodel."

"Very knowledgeable. Iâ ve dealt with a lot of Structural Engineers. His ability to relate complex situations into easy to understand explanations clearly shows how knowledgeable he is. His background in construction adds a constructability component that is unmatched. Highly recommended. ."
