Review by Talin R.in Harrison, NY Project: Analyze a Structural Issue (Structural Engineer)
Shrub Oak was thorough with their drawings. We are architects, and particular about the design. Bernie worked with us & revised the structural design to achieve what we were aiming for. At times, communications were not the best and completion of drawings took longer than expected, but overall had a good experience. Fair price compared to other engineers we bid out to. Would recommend to others with recommendation to allow approx. 1-2 months completion.

Excellent work. Bernie is very personable and truly cares about the work that you are asking him to do, which is uncommon in today's day and age. Great job.
Comment from Shrub Oak Engineering Consultants
We were able to confirm the owner's concerns with a prior remodeling alteration that had seriously compromised the safety of the structure. We provided the owner an Engineering Report that outlined several alternatives, including one to correct the prior alteration, using steel beams, and return the structure to a safe condition.

We were able to work with the owner and examine his areas of concern. We were able to provide him assurances that the issues were cosmetic and not serious structural shortcomings or issues.

We were able to provide the owner a full set of "Construction Plans (e.g. Architectural Plans)" to apply for a building permit. The design converted a 1950's 1 story to a modern looking 2 story Colonial with a Master Suite.

We were able to help the owner close out a prior Building Permit through Inspection & Evaluation of prior construction. This allowed him to obtain a valid and current Certificate of Occupancy.

Very responsive.
Comment from Shrub Oak Engineering Consultants
This was a challenging project that allowed us to provide the homeowner with three different approaches to solving a serious problem. The deterioration of deck supports 25 feet in the air had caused a potentially life threatening structural condition.
