Very Professional, knowledgeable and reliable

KH Davis were really great. They helped us with all the structural drawings and permitting for a full home gut in Mississauga.
Jomar and the team were a pleasure to deal with. They were very professional, punctual and knowledgable. They did all drawings within a good turnaround and also helped us with coming up with a good structural layout that still fit the project budget.
Highly recommend them!

Exterior Brick/Structural Issues

I am so happy that I found KH Davis Engineering. I had been looking for a structural engineer to provide a report for me for brick cracking and structural issues that had been discovered during a bathroom renovation. Jomar, KH Davis came to take a look and provide an assessment. He was courteous, friendly and professional. He also provided me with a bit of advice on how to proceed with the project. Thank you, Jomar! I will definitely call KH Davis for upcoming projects.

Certifying that foundation had been done properly

We called Ken with an unusual request, we had just purchased a home but the sale was contingent on determining if work done without a permit was done correctly. Before Ken, we had called 10-15 other engineerings who didn't know if determining the foundation was poured correctly could do it. Ken and his team kept us updated throughout the process and retroactively obtained a permit for the work.

Main Floor Open Concept

We purchased a century home in Toronto and needed the services of an engineer to create an open concept main floor. On his initial visit to the property Ken's keen eye for detail alerted us to a potential issue, termites. Not only was he correct but he also guided us through the process of addressing the structural issues we uncovered. The scope of work expanded beyond our original plans but its comforting to know that our home is now safe for the entire family. Thank you Ken.

home addition including secondary suite

We chose KH Davis because they specialize in old toronto houses, they focus on structural, and they work with an HVAC designer (so the whole package).

Our design had some complexity due to the incorporation of a secondary suite (legal apartment) and our desire to tie into the existing house as simply as possible and keep costs down.

Our designer was VEEERRRRY patient with us and continued to provide knowledgeable advice as we worked through multiple revisions to zero in on what we wanted and what we could afford.

By working with KH Davis first to get permit ready drawings, we weren't tied to any particular contractor and could get accurate quotes from multiple builders.

The design process can be lengthy and requires cooperation and communication from both parties. KH Davis was committed to our project and we are very happy with the result. Thank you!

Duplex Apartment Renovation

We had a very tired Duplex apartment that needed updating badly, and we knew exactly what we wanted but after talking to several architects who wanted to put their own stamp on the project and not what we wanted, (we have done this before), with some input from them we found K H Engineering Consultants, who actually listened and understood the concept we had in mind.
Without any fuss their engineer Jomar got to work on the design drawings and with understanding of what we wanted very little changes were required.
From the outset Jomar was very clear in explaining the process including the submission of the drawings to the City of Toronto for permit, gave us an approximate timeline for the process which, and understandably would be out of his purview.
Jomar was always available for questions and queries including jobsite visits, the consummate professional as is the whole organization of K H Davis Engineering Consultants and I have no hesitation in recommending K H Davis Engineering and Jomar the handle your renovation or construction project.
Thanks guys.
