Testimonials For Our Structural Engineering Services
- SAI has been one of the few bright spots in our remodel horror story. They have designed several major structural fixes for us and in a few cases enabled us to make some moderate adjustments to avoid having to rip out and re-due entire walls with support headers encompassing multiple floors. Professional, accurate, detailed, timely, and UNDERSTANDABLE prints to work from. Respected our plans and worked with us to find solutions that kept our plans intact as much as possible yet still met code and look great. As the industry goes, sometimes inspectors make you jump through hoops they don't make others jump through &/or were not necessary to jump through just a few months prior. Fair/warranted or not, SAI handled it for us. Cutting through the politics and focusing what actually needs to happen. They could have taken us to task with unnecessary costs but they didn't. They could have declined the job(s) because they were to small for their bottom line compared to major dollar commercial stuff, but they didn't. We are pulling through, with light at the end of the tunnel. But without SAI's expertise with integrity I just don't think we would have made it. SAI did us Right and that is practically non-existent now days.read moreread lessBrian Boogaard

- After trying to work with several other engineers, I contacted Lin Lee to assist with engineering drawings in order to get them stamped for permitting. Lin was very helpful in letting me know exactly what he needed. He was quick to follow up and very responsive to emails. He got the work done in a very timely manner. Worth every penny to just have the job done quickly and efficiently. Other engineers wanted the money but didn't want to put in any effort. We will be happy to send all our future projects to Lin. Very pleasant and professional to work with! Thanks Lin!read moreread lessTaraysa Lees

I look forward to working with SAI on many future projects.read moreread lessPatrick BrechtingMy slab-on-grade home had developed a number of cracked ceramic tiles over the years. I wanted a structural engineer to analyze whether the underlying concrete cracks were of a non-structural nature before I install new tiles. Several engineering companies were contacted via email and Lin Lee from Structural Associates, Inc. was the first to respond. He did so in under 24 hrs. which was an amazing turnaround time. He sent me a proposal letter that same day outlining the costs of the observation and follow-up reporting plus his availability. The observational site visit flat fee was acceptable and we arranged a visit for the next day. During the site visit Lin made a thorough inspection inside and out of the concrete slab and we discussed his conclusions at the end. I felt he was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the factors that caused the cracks and their non-structural nature. The cost of a report was agreed upon and he sent it to me the next day. I would highly recommend you contacting SAI (and Lin in particular!) for your structural engineering projects in New Mexico.read moreread lessGregg
