"Accurate and Prompt work for a good value. Very satisfied with Structures R Us!"

"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."

"Great help identifying structural issues in my old home!"

I am a licensed Professional Engineer providing structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects. I work with homeowners, contractors, and design professionals to help move projects through the permit process by providing structural calculations, drawings, evaluations, and engineering letters as needed.\n\nIn-person structural inspections are available in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Remote structural consulting is available in Delaware and North Carolina.\n\nTypical projects include load-bearing wall removal, beam and header sizing, additions, decks, foundation concerns, and framing evaluations. My goal is to provide practical, code-compliant structural solutions that are clear, efficient, and tailored to the project.

"The specific representative was Keith Hull, Professional Engineer.  He was courteous, professional, and thorough and, to the point, provided an analysis which saved us a lot of money.  The written report included appropriate photographs, a description of the structure of the house (and of its integrity), and recommendations with regard to how to repair the foundation wall to prevent the intrusion of water in the future. <br />"

"JCabido did a full inspection and gave a ton of details before starting the work. They helped us find a structural engineer to judge what was vital or not to do. The quote for the work was very clear. The work they did on our house was very thorough and they did a great job. The finished job looks fantastic and the workers were polite and cleaned up every day. We did not have any inconveniences while they worked on our house and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. I would recommend them highly. The cost is a bit high but it was worth it for a job well done, professional communications and solid work."

"Our 40-year old home has developed several interior and exterior cracks over the years. I hired Design Depictions to understand their causes and make sure we do not have a structural (e.g. foundation) problem before addressing the cosmetic issues. Michael spent far more time than I expected discussing, reviewing, and analyzing these issues. One of the cracks formed in my daughter’s room shortly after we renovated the house in 2008. The architect and builder were not able to diagnose the issue on this non-weight-bearing wall, but Michael came up with an explanation very quickly based on the location of the wall relative to the joists. It’s so nice to have this mystery finally solved! Michael followed up the meeting with a detailed analysis describing the causes and remedies for the cracks he observed. I couldn’t be more pleased with Design Depictions. I will definitely recommend and use their services again."

"John was hired as our general contractor. Was in charge of demoing our old house. Running all new utilities from the street to house. Foundation perp. and all the drainage/pumps, concrete floor. Helped set the house and everything that was involved in that. (Lots of work). They did the heating a/c, water heater, all electric hookups, porches, bilco basement doors, tiled bathrooms, graded and seeded the yard, driveway. We spent several months working with John and his people. Nothing but great things to say. They can take care of anything and everything needed."
