My specialties include: - New construction - Custom Homes - Remodels - ADUs - Garage conversions - Bearing wall removal - Mechanical and Tank Anchorage - Retaining walls - Value Engineering - Commercial - Tenant Improvement My goal for your project is to provide continuous communication from start to finish and provide structural drawings that are cost effective, meet architectural intent, buildable, and are structurally efficient.

Steven promptly completed the simple drawing and calculations I needed for my small remodeling project. The work was done at a very reasonable price, and I’m happy with the result.

Excellent, professional assessment of our foundation. Highly recommend.

I was able to obtain a quick estimate of cost for my small project. We agreed on the data they required from me and the actual scope of work. The design was completed on time and at the quoted price. Easy payment options.

Steven conducted a structural feasibility visit at my residence and was thorough, professional, and friendly. I especially appreciated his expert opinion on my foundation issues which helped guide me in my next steps to monitor crack movement before investing significantly in remediation work. He also walked through my house to answer all the questions I had regarding structural changes I've had in mind. Would certainly recommend and work with Steven again for any structural engineering work.

I can’t recommend Steven from SMB Engineering enough. He worked with us on a complex addition of a tiled archway to our house - he completed the work a bit early & with no corrections from the city. The process was incredibly smooth and his rates were very reasonable. I’d also note that he explains his work & plans clearly. He’s very responsive and he even simplified our original model to save money without sacrificing durability. You couldn’t pick a better SE for your work.

Steven was great to work with. He communicated clearly, met the timeline he committed to, and was responsive throughout the process. He was professional, easy to collaborate with, and helped get the structural package completed for permit. I would recommend him for similar structural engineering work.

Was a pleasure to work with on structural design for a remodel or a room where a wall will be removed and ceiling raised. Cheers!

Steven was great to work with for our backyard 2nd story deck construction. He provided the plans in a timely manner. Plans were approved without issues with the city. He was easy to work with and provided alternatives to the plan when I requested it. I was relieved to have him because he ensured the structure would be safe and long lasting. I hope we can work on a project again in the future.
