We've had Cornell work on a few projects for us. For one project, he came out last minute to help us draw up structural plans due to the fact that a (bad) contractor we were working with knocked out walls without consulting us! We were so grateful for his attention to detail and willingness to help us out during a very stressful time. Another project that he supported us with was advising my husband on the structural integrity of the space beneath our stairs, so that we could build a little reading nook under it. We'll also be working with Cornell for our upcoming extensive remodel as we add on to our house. Highly recommend his work!

A young engineer inspected the house I bought before I bought it. He was very thorough during the inspection and writing the report. But it took a while for him to give me the report.

Burt Cornell listened to our concerns, and addressed them all. He was not satisfied until he could understand all of the interrelationships of our home�s structure, and explain the symptoms we and he observed. He then provided detailed cost effective improvement recommendations. We appreciated his analytical thoroughness, and commitment to provide us high value.

They communicated perfectly every step of the way, made every scheduled site visit as requested and were willing to discus the project with the contractor and evaluate his ideas, I have only good things to say about them.

Cornell Burt s the most knowledgeable PE I have worked ever worked with. He visited my house for one structural beam calculation and looked over whole house. Then he drew a sketch of where every load was supported. I was so impressed that hired him for my nest project!

I hired Burt Engineering to look at a wall I wanted to remove. I was provided with a written report, including diagrams, that my contractor can use when removing the wall. I would definitely hire this firm again.

Cornell Burt is very detailed in his work. I appreciate his candor and willingness to work with us on a design that fits our needs. Cornell came over and was very professional and went over everything. I liked that he helped us understand why certain options are better than others. He also provided us with the proper paperwork for a permit within 2 days.

We are very pleased with Cornell's expediancy in helping us. He came out right away and drew up our plans etc and helped us whenever we had a question. Definitely would recommend him if you want solid plans and a helping hand when needed. We specifically hired him because we were wanting to take out load bearing walls, replace support beams to make everything nice and open and a flush ceiling(our current beams hang down). twice we have used Cornell and happy each time.

Cornell took the time to look up our original house plans, as well as refer us to a reasonably priced colleague. My fears about our previous construction possibly being unsound were allayed.

Cornell was so helpful, he took the extra time to check everything, not only to design the baem for my house, but also he gave me many advises on haw to take care of other things, he answered all my questions that day and the days after. He really goes the extra mile. Thanks a lot for all your help, and I'm looking to work with you again in the furure. Jose Chavez
