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!

I recently needed a stamoed structural drawing of a block wall, retaining wall and the footing. Initially I struggled to find a structual engineer who did this in ABQ. After many calls and rejections SAI was willing to provide me with drawings and a letter certifying the entire structure was secure. I am so grateful for SAI and I highly recommend them.

I needed a structural engineer for a residential remodeling project. My email inquiry to SAI was answered in less than 24 hours. Engineer was prompt in their arrival and respectful of my property. Was professional and courteous; and able to engage in friendly chatter - old NM style- making me comfortable to have them in the innards of my 'castle.' Engineer was also very thorough in their inspection and discussed my structural concerns with me in a language that I could understand. Answered all my questions; and provided a written report of findings in a timely manner as well. I highly recommend them and my neighbor has now hired them for their home as well!

SAI is professional and efficient. I recommend this company to anyone. My husband and I are glad that we made the right choice. We did not know that we had major damage in the attic and the foundation. We just took Hakes Brothers word for it. If you own a brand-new home and especially a Hakes brothers' home, please contact SAI ASAP. Brand new homes are not perfect.

Did you say New Mexico?! I would like to say congratulations for the opening of SAI’s new location in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We work very closely with Mr. Lin Lee and he has recently left West Michigan to serve the New Mexico location. Lin Lee is a great Engineer; I would use him for every project! Lin is very, very reliable, he stays true to his word and, last but not least..DEADLINES! Lin runs a very quick turn-a-round, who could ask for more, right?! Even though he is across the country now, I will NOT stop using SAI’s services- (I’m sure you would too if you see what they can do. Their Team is much appreciated by us here at West Michigan Structural. If I were you, I would contact Mr. Lin Lee the next time you need Engineering Services, he’s very good at what he does. Go TEAM SAI!

I have worked with Matt Kromke of SAI for a number of years and it has been an absolute pleasure. He is amiable, obliging and good-humored. Not only is Matt and his engineering staff extremely knowledgeable and professional; they are innovative, highly responsive and efficient. SAI is fair and more than reasonable in their fees. Because of his cost-conscious approach to structural design and providing various options and solutions, Matt has saved my clients significant moneys in the construction of their projects. Their design and construction documents are always clear, detailed and well-coordinated with all architectural drawings. SAI's services go way above and beyond any other structural engineers I have worked with. I highly recommend and fully endorse Matt and SAI as a first-rate and outstanding structural engineering company to work with. Michael Witkin Architect

SAI and Notions Marketing Corporation have worked together for many years, the last a 115,000 sf addition. They proved their worth once again during that project. Most notable was a mid-build design change that saved us a lot of money, time and disruption. SAI has a strong record of good customer service with me.

We’ve worked with Structural Associates for 20 years and completed over 300 projects with them through that time, ranging from very small to very large. The one consistent theme through all of those projects remains their attention to detail and a close working relationship with our firm. When given structural design challenges, and specific architectural concerns about how we respond to those challenges, they’ve always managed to develop a solution that keeps both of us happy.

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.
