Sauzteq Engineering Inc.

Hired Mohammad to provide advice on removing a couple of walls for a residential basement renovation. Mohammad advised which walls could be removed, and where supports would continue to be required. He provided additional advice on repairing a crack on a 20ft wall and where structural supports would be required to support a modified staircase.

The company came to our home as promised, showed up on time, very pleasant. Did a great job reviewing our home and delivered our drawings a week post visit as promised. We were very pleased with the results and glad we hired them to come in our home and plan out our upcoming renovation.

I needed a structural engineer to provide me with advice and drawings on removing a load bearing wall and vaulting a ceiling. I sent a request out to Mohammad and received a reply within 24 hrs. (on New Years Day). We set up a site visit for the following Wednesday. Mohammad was punctual, polite and professional from the start. I was so impressed with his expertise that I retained him to include additional structural drawing for the removal and replacement of a load bearing beam and pillars in the basement and a relocation of a set of stairs leading to the basement. Within a week he sent me a draft of the drawings for my review and comment. Everything was clear and concise and upon my approval a stamped set of drawings were sent to me. I was very impressed with Mohammad's expertise, level of communication and timeliness on this matter and the pricing was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Mohammad's structural engineering services for structural drawing for building permit purposes.

We hired Mohammad based on his excellent Homestars reviews and we have not been disappointed.

He was very thorough in taking measurements and assessing the structure of our house. He has been punctual and easy to reach/responsive. He was patient and detailed in answering our questions, on site and on the phone. Most importantly, he provided us detailed and accurate drawings, as promised, within a week of his visit (and in them he was able to help us avoid an ugly post despite the tricky location and length of our load-bearing wall).

We haven't yet hired a contractor to complete the work but Mohammad has already indicated he is happy to work with our contractors/the city wherever his assistance is needed.

We would not hesitate to recommend Mohammad to others!

We were looking for an engineer who would draw a structural drawing of our house so that we could submit a permit to remove 2 load bearing walls and flush the bulkhead beam between kitchen and breakfast area.

We have interviewed many structural engineers for the job and our decision to work with Mohammad turned out to be one of the best choices we've made during this renovation.

First of all, Mohammad was very punctual and responsive. Whenever we or our contractors had a question, he always made himself available to us. If Mohammad missed our calls or messages, we always heard back from him shortly.

Second, Mohammad was very flexible and accommodating when working through various revisions. We had made couple of revisions from the original plan and every time we have asked for the revision, his response was very fast and accommodating which made our entire experience very pleasant.

And most importantly, with his drawing, we were able to get a permit no problem and passed the structural inspection without an issue. We would definitely recommend Mohammad to anyone who is looking for a structural engineer’s drawing. Mohammad was very fast, respectful, easy to work with and delivered the fantastic result.

We were looking to open up our floor plan on the main floor. Mohammed provided plans/drawings to remove load bearing walls.
Mohammed was professional, reliable and quick to respond to any inquiries.
If you are looking for an engineer, look no further! The plans we got were very detailed. Mohammed was very polite, considerate and a pleasure to deal with.

We appreciate your help.

Thank you.

They were fast and very helpful, I wasn't expecting the detail in the floor plan and was very pleased. Gave me a run down on how the structure is laid out.

We began to look for an engineer to do the blueprints for our 2 basement walkout doors. We asked family and friends if they could recommend someone, nobody was able too. We decided to go to homestars and we found Sauzteq Engineering, Mohammad returned our call after a few minutes and since then everything went smoothly. He came to our house to measure and was very friendly, professional and paid a lot of attention to detail, we knew he would do a great job. In a week he called us with the drawings ready and offered to do anything else the city needed, he helped us through the whole process and it was painless due to his dedication and guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for anything related to this field. Thanks Mohammad!

I needed an urgent assessment for removal of a load bearing wall. Mohammad came the same day.
My contractor’s calculation for the post to support the beam was not accurate, but thanks to the Sauteq’s timely response and urgent calculations of the requirements, we were able to complete the task in time and accurately.

We reached out to Sauzteq Engineering a little over a month ago to help us with our renovation permits. We had submitted some drawings to the city that required a stamped drawing from an engineer and Mohammad was fantastic every step of the way. He was always quick to respond to phone calls/emails and the turnaround time on the drawings was very quick. We couldn't be happier with the service and would recommend this company to anyone.
