Basement underpinning and finishing

We were very happy with the service we received from Jomar at KH Davis. He was responsive, helpful, and thorough. He provided great advice and happily answered all of our questions.

Many thanks to KH Davis!

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.

Structural Consultation, Plans and Permits

We requested KH to take a look at our (very old and crooked) house and provide a structural assessment before we undertake renovations. They were easy to work with, explained clearly what the issues might be, answered a ton of questions we had about the structure and renovation options, and provided a clear and easy report on the state of the house.

Following this, we worked with KH Davis to draw up some plans for renovations, including some major structural changes in the basement and main floor. They were really helpful and flexible, helped us to figure out exactly what we wanted and what was possible, and made the whole process very painless. In the end we got the plans approved with no issues and will soon start work on the house.

Would definitely work with again!

If I could give 6 stars I would!

KH Davis (Jomar) stepped up to the plate on a complicated project when we lost our previous engineer - it was a difficult project with many roadblocks and hurdles - however they worked with us diligently to get the project over the finish line. I would recommend KH Davis, and specifically our engineer Jomar Manzano to anyone - amazing attention to detail and superior customer service!
