They are knowledgeable, fair, and always prompt to respond to my questions. **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Thanks for the great review Jason! Looking forward to working together more in the future. **★★★★★ — chad\_gwndesigns, Dec. 2015** > I work for a number of contractors and have used a variety of structural engineers. Ryan, with Arx Engineering, is hands down the one I would recommend the most. He is honest, straightforward, his engineering is not only competent but easy to follow and he works with people if they have a way that they'd like to build something he will try to accommodate that (as long as it is still structurally sound). He is easy to communicate with and I've never had any negative experiences using him. I deal with many different building departments and hear their comments on different engineers. When I come in with engineering from Arx Engineering, they always comment on how it should be an easy review as he is a good engineer. I would (and always to) recommend him to everyone. **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Thanks for such a great review Chad, I appreciate it! **★★★★★ — Jet Development, Inc., Sept. 2015** > Arx Enginneering provides all of my engineering services . As a small general contractor I do a lot of design build work. I have worked with Arx for several years . They are efficient , timely, reasonably priced and always available by phone when working in the field and need a quick answer or response to an inspectors request . I highly recommend the services they provide . **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Jen, thanks for the great review. I appreciate it a lot. **★★★★★ — Oasis Springs Builders, Sept. 2015** > I have worked with Ryan at Arx Engineering on several jobs. I find his work to be very accurate, efficient and timely. During the building permitting process, I have even had building plans examiners remark on how clean and thorough Ryan's work is. As a small business (general contractor specializing in residential add-on work), I prefer to working in a more one-on-one environment where the engineer has no problem with personal consultations, design reviews and site visits, and Ryan's firm fits this criteria perfectly. I will continue to use his services in the future and would highly recommend Arx Engineering for any project, any size. **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Thanks for taking the time to write the great review Rick, I appreciate it! **★★★★★ — elcuaba, Sept. 2015** > Ryan, from ARX, is fantastic. He is professionally prompt and meticulously accurate with all projects that he has done for our company. We have used his services exclusively, and will continue to do so. > > Premier Design & Construction, LLC **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Thank you Pedro, I really appreciate the great review. Looking forward to more projects in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-917627, Aug. 2015** > We are a General Contractor and we can always count on ARX Engineering to do our Projects. Very Proffesional and Reliable. **Comment from Arx Engineering:** > Thanks for the positive review Jose, it is much appreciated. ## Selected projects - [Custom Home Fire Rebuild](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-fire-rebuild-pj-vj~1165202) - Location: Henderson, NV - Photos: 10 - [Duneville Custom Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duneville-custom-residence-pj-vj~2194188) - Location: Las Vegas, NV - Photos: 22 - [Cougar Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cougar-residence-pj-vj~962234) - Location: Las Vegas, NV - Photos: 11 - Description: This 4000 square foot (living) single-story custom home was designed with tall walls, vaulted ceilings and an entry tower.

Please feel free to contact me on chechumse@hotmail.com or (702)328-7723 A: Yes, exactly, a glass top. And circular stairs. Google "circular wine cellar" and you'll see a bunch of similar ones (I don't have any pics of how this one turned out). --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
