Engineered Structures Global Design, PLLC

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Eli Grassley. He has always been knowledgeable and responsive to our needs. He even showed up on a weekend when we were in a bind. His advice has been extremely helpful on a complicated remodel. Our first contractor nearly ruined our project. With Eli's help and that of our new contractor, our project is better built than we had ever imagined. We will use him in the future if ever his services are required.

We hired Eli to check out two walls we wanted to remove to see if they were load bearing. He was incredibly responsive, has excellent communication skills and is incredibly thorough. After clarifying in email what we were looking at doing, Eli came out to the house did an inspection, and wrote up a detailed analysis of his findings in a timely fashion. We really appreciated his ability to explain things if we were confused or needed more information and to provide us with a timely report.

I've been working with Eli on a remodel that has changed over time. Eli is a delight to work with. He's a great communicator, delivers a product or necessary input in a timely manner. and works well with my architect. He is very cost conscious which I really appreciate. For example, he provided the methods to make my foundation structurally sound for a second story rather than just saying I needed a new foundation. He has found components of my udpated plans that could be incorporated into a future remodel. Eli articulates the structural needs in laymen's terms so it's clear what is needed. I like that he's a small engineering firm and that I get to communicate directy with him. I highly recommnend Eli for your structural engineering needs.

I am a principle at a Seattle construction consulting firm. Eli Grassley worked for my firm for two years before moving on to concentrate on his design firm. His work while at our firm was exemplary. He is an excellent structural design engineer and possesses knowledge of MEP installations. We worked on several projects while he was with the firm and in each and every case his product was outstanding. While with our firm I hired him to perform structural engineering design for my residence to move and extend roof truss load bearing walls. His pricing was very fair and his work product was completed with a short turn around timeframe. I would highly recommend Eli for anything involving structural design and we hope to work with him in the future.

Eli created the designs and specifications for a 4-car carport structure behind our triplex. A carport sounds mundane but this one is strikingly beautiful and we also wanted it to be at max height per code which required quite a bit of engineering to ensure seismic stability. From the very beginning of discussing the project concept through initial design and multiple revisions required due to changes in scope, materials and City requirements, Eli was responsive, professional and courteous. I would use this company again without hesitation.

I contacted ESG Designs to collaborate with my architect. He created the structural engineering plans for the construction of a new residence. I interviewed four structural engineers before selecting Eli. Eli was prompt, communicative and very professional. His services are very well priced and the pricing is very straight forward. The price quoted is the price paid. Eli teamed up with the architectural firm to create the structural engineering design and permit plans for our new residence. Eli posed structural design questions from the beginning which aided the architectural firm in their design work. We had to meet a very tight deadline in order to submit our building permit with the county. Eli was able to fit the project into his very busy schedule and complete the work within the timeline that was given. I look forward to working with Eli through the construction of our project. I give Eli my highest recommendation.

Eli is a great man who helped us complete a project that we could not do without his help. The original structural engineer used by the building designer never made a trip to the site and stamped everything in his office. We ran into issues and had to abandon the original design. We hired new architect, Eli and a new GC. Eli was instrumental in revising the plan and simplifying it to wrap up the project. He came to our house anytime we needed a site visit or talk to the new team members. We will complete the original plan in a few years, but ONLY with Eli overseeing the structural design. We recommend Eli any day and we ourselves will only use his services for any project we have in the future. Thank you Eli for your great work and support. Payman & Gigi Vazinkhoo

This is a recommendation fo. Eli Grassley, engineer, and Linda Makin, architect of ESG Design. Eli and Linda collaborated with me to on a rather complex renovation, producing architectural drawings and structural calculations for converting an unused attic apace of a 1929 house in the Seattle into a habitable living space, adding almost 500 sq ft. to a house with only about 880 sq ft. on one floor. Though out the process, they were both courteous, quick to respond to my questions and most amenable to the many suggestions I had for changing the design to either create a more efficient use of the space or accommodate material purchases (such as windows) that I made. The cost was most reasonable and I would have no hesitation in either recommending them to other clients or using them again myself. Since their work only involved the design stage and I have not yet begun construction, I do not have any pictures to contribute.
