  These guys are great - they treated our home as if it was their own and we completely trusted them to address what mattered most to us whether we were... read more home or not: cleaned up well after each work day, nailed it on finishing details, identified and fixed existing problems that were project-adjacent, and they were in constant communication about schedule and upfront and fair about cost. The whole team - Bashar, Hoss, Hermilio, and Pedro - knowledgeable, skilled, and kind. Our project included a covered outdoor patio with new patio door, utility extensions, concrete work, and structural engineering, design, and permitting. They will be our first call when are in need of these services again.

  What a fantastic group of experts, from Bashar, to Hoss, to Sura! We are so delighted with the results of their construction/addition of a living space for our disabled family... read more member. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and expertise guided us through the entire project, from identifying issues before problems arose (such as rain water drainage issues and structural concerns), to dealing with the city and making sure our project got approved every step of the way.

This project involved the transformation of an area underneath the house to include a kitchen, bathroom, and living room area. This required structural modifications, as well as extensive electrical and plumbing work. There were some touch-and-go moments with code compliance, and Bashar and his team got us approved with flying colors. We couldn't have done it without them.

The value of their work far exceeded our agreed upon (and very fair) bid. Even the city inspector commented during the final walkthrough that the new addition to our home looked really great!

The results of all of their hard work was more than we anticipated.  Our experience with SCE was simply outstanding. We chose SCE based upon the overwhelming positive reviews here on Yelp, and we were not let down! We could not imagine hiring anyone else for our future projects. Again, thank you very much.

  I closed escrow on a home and wanted to blow out two walls prior to moving in. I had 10 days to spare. I submitted the plans to Bashar (the... read more owner) and he gave me a quote which was similar to another quote I received. I went with SCE and I could not have been happier. His crew showed up the day after I closed escrow and they went to work. Very trustworthy crew and I can tell Bashar was second to none when it came to his knowledge of structural engineering. One wall was load bearing and the other wall needed a support beam. The work they did was SO GOOD, it literally opened up our home and it looks amazing. There's actually an arch as part of the wall and they MATCHED the arch on one side to mimic the other, incredible. They finished prior to me moving in and cleaned up afterwards.

Probably the best decision I've made going with these guys. Became friends with the owner and will use him for everything demo related in the future.

  I needed to find a reputable structural engineer quickly to investigate a wall in a home I just purchased to determine that a kitchen wall was non bearing.  I needed... read more the report quickly to meet a deadline for an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) meeting at Huntington Landmark Senior Adult Community, to accompany a request to the HOA for demolishing a wall in the kitchen area as part of a kitchen remodel. I read good Yelp reviews for SCE so I called the phone number on a Saturday morning expecting to leave a voice mail.  Bashar actually answered the phone (a mobile number... yeah), and after explaining my need and emailing him some floorplans and photos, he agreed to do the job for a set fee (very reasonable) on Monday ... my preferred time.  Bashar and I stayed in touch on Sunday and Monday morning, and he arrived on time to crawl into the attic to make his assessment.  He emerged from the attic with photos, a video and the good news that the wall was indeed non bearing. He prepared his report with wet stamp, including some hand drawings so I understood the structure, and I gave him a check as agreed.  He was very professional and thorough, and offered further assistance if the ACC had any questions.  I will not hesitate to use SCE and Bashar in the future for any Structural Engineering or Investigation needs.

  My remodel involved adding a bedroom and bath over the existing garage in a one story house. I started the project with someone who had done work for me previously,... read more but didn't find out until I was well into the project, that he did not really understand city codes or the structural plans. I reached out to Bashar and he came out for a consultation. Although I was still working with my original guy, Bashar offered to help him with anything he didn't understand. We got through that problem but when it became evident that my guy couldn't finish the job and meet all the code requirements for the inspections, I called Bashar again. This time it was to hire him to finish the job. He came out with Hoss, his partner, and they spent hours inspecting the work that had been done, contacting my architect and structural engineer on record and making note of changes that were needed to bring the project up to code. I would think this is a crew's worst nightmare, to have to come in and spend time undoing someone's substandard work before you can begin your own work, but Bashar and Hoss did it with professionalism and brought in a team of experts to complete the job. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and above all, treated my house with the same care to detail as if they were working on their own home.  My only regret is that I didn't start the job with Bashar and Hoss. I would have saved myself money and a lot of unnecessary headaches. Now that this major renovation is done and I am thrilled with the outcome and the professionalism that Hoss and Bashar demonstrated, I will be using them for the renovation of the other master suite.

  We used SCE for a couple projects on our house (roof work, dry wall, door replacement) in the winter of 2019 and we could not have been any more satisfied... read more with the work.   It was done on time, on budget, and Bashar was a pleasure to work with.  He kept in constant contact during the work and was very clear on the pricing.  Without a doubt SCE will be our go to for all our home improvement and upkeep needs in the future.

  Amazing!!!!!!! We met with six contractors and were so impressed with Bashar and his architect Sura we decided to choose them for our home remodel. They listened to our special... read more family needs and came up with an amazing design. Our daughter is blind and has multiple disabilities and we knew we couldn't go with a typical open concept. They gave us a design that allows for privacy but also could look very open, which we didn't know we could have both. Everything about the process was perfect and professional. We couldn't believe how fast the project was started and it finished even a couple weeks early. We had absolutely no hidden cost at all. Bashar was always just a phone call or text away. We honestly give him 100% A+ on professionalism. We couldn't be more grateful. We have a very modest home and a smaller budget than most but he did not skimp on luxury at all. The addition that he designed and all the extra touches look like a mini mansion with our amazing ceiling design, lighting, steam room, an amazing design to give us privacy but a very open look. Everything is perfect

  Bashar, his architect Sura, and his crew chief Hosny were great in getting me through a project that ought not have been as complex and time-consuming as it was.  The... read more project, putting up a wall, could have been, and was in fact, done in 3 days.  The complexities and amazing delays were due to the permits office of the city of Laguna Woods.  It demanded architectural and engineering plans, it sent the plans which Bashar and Sura created out for review, the review took 3 weeks!  I have friends from Romania, who said, when I described this process to them, that it's like how things got done in the old Communist days of Ceaucescu; but this is the USA, in 2019!  The city government of Laguna Woods is a communist dictatorship. They rule over a helpless people, the retirees of Laguna Woods Village, and they take pleasure in making the lives of the retirees as miserable and frustrating as possible. It took months, after Ceaucescu was executed by his people after the 1989 revolution, for many Romanians to believe that he was really dead; this is what I felt like after the permits were finally issued by the city of Laguna Woods: I couldn't believe it actually happened.

Bashar and Sura worked patiently throughout all this bureaucratic nightmare to get the permits, and then Hosny contracted a crew which worked quickly, efficiently, and the result was great. The wall had to be put up in order for an apt to go on sale, and one week after the work was done we got a cash offer at asking price.  Given all the work that had to be done, and the excellent result so far, Bashar charged a very fair price. I see that a review complained of the price, but, as they say in Brooklyn, "you gets what you pays for," and what I got was well worth paying for.

  Wow, I can sleep at night! Having the Sterling Consulting team and the principal engineer Bashar inspect my home was an awesome experience. They inspected the structural components of my... read more home and advised on which components we needed to remove or where we needed to add more support. The inspection fee and report was all discussed upfront and well before the engineers arrived. My expectations were set from the beginning and after the inspection I received everything requested! Sterling Consulting is exactly what I needed, they were also very efficient and reliable - all reports were submitted , we can now enjoy the home. Thank you to the team. 5 stars

  After our home had a major slab leak some what near the kitchen we decided to finally look into replacing the 30 year old kitchen. Our kitchen was small and... read more closed off. We decided to look into taking out the wall.

Bashar was very helpful and informative with knowing what wall would be best. He also read our builder plans well and we could tell he really knew what he was doing

We also ended up going with his referral construction team. Their quote was very fair. They were timely, clean and efficient. It was also great that Bashar came to the job site to make sure everything was going as planned. Overall we were pleased with their services.
