Kent spearheaded my project. He was able to cut costs by using my drawings and details. He was very fast - turn around was less than a week. I had to revise some non-engineering issues on the drawings and needed to have the revisions re-stamped. Kent was very accessible and was able to do it over the counter. Sezen and Moon was just what I needed.
Description of Work: I needed engineering for a new building in San Jose.

They were great and they did a great job. They did a nice job and gave a lot of information. I definitely would recommend them. They were very well recommended by other people. I was glad to get them. Overall, it went well. It was a consultation. They went around looking at things and measured a few things. It wasn't like a construction project and they were really just assessing the problem. They were very good and very prompt. The lead engineer who was a woman, it was very hard to get hold of her. She was on the phone for a few minutes and said that she didn't know if she could help me. I met her at a specific time and I explained the problems. They told me she would make a time for me and I was very happy with her. She went out of her way and she was friendly. They did everything we asked for. They went out of their way to help us. I didn't have much time to compare the price. They seemed very professional and answered all my questions. They took a fair amount of time. She spent quite a bit of time. She was very professional. She was very impressive. She knew what she was talking about. She recommended a few works to be done in later time.

Kent Sezen conducted an inspection of a property we are considering purchasing. Since we are doing an as-is purchase, we wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any surprises with structure. It's a large home with several decks, and he inspected all thoroughly, giving us his opinion on what would need to be done to everything. We were reassured after meeting with him. He was on time and thorough and knowledgeable. If we were to buy the house, we would be happy to call his company again for engineering services.

.We were completely satisfied with the job Sezen and Moon Structural Engineering did for us. From the initial off the street unplanned meeting with them, several iterations of drawings to accommodate changes to their being available to answer questions raised during the city's approval process. We could not be happier with the work they did for us. After reviewing our plans the city inspector commented to us about how knowledgeable our structural engineers were.
Description of Work: We wanted to create a great room from the kitchen, dining room and living room. This involved removing some structural walls and adding a series of beams in the attic along with strengthened sheer walls to accommodate the changes.

We wanted to install an 8 ft sliding door where we had a 6 ft sliding door. The door company required us to have an opinion from a structural engineer. The door company recommended this company. The visit was timely, but his information and advice was wrong. He said the city would require we replace the entire back wall of our 2 story stucco home with new sheer wall and new stucco and we would have to bolt the house to the foundation in many more places. Well, that killed the project for us. A couple months later we visited our city planner to see if there was any way we could add the desired door expansion. They recommended that it was likely it could be done, we should consult with a structural engineer (begin again finnigan) who could provide the necessary calculations, specifications, and drawings. They indicated it was unlikely that we would need to reinstall sheer wall through out the two stories of the back wall of our house and it should not be necessary to put more bolts in the foundation. We are encouraged and will try again to find a structural engineer who will create the plan we can take to the city. $200 spent for no expertise applied at all. The structural engineer is the one who looks at the specs, does the math and helps the homeowner. This fellow seemed not to know the specs or he did not have the skills or desire to do the computation for the add on.

Response from SEZEN & MOON STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, INC.
We are saddened to read our client, Member's review on Angie’s List. We quickly realize that there was a misunderstanding from reading her interpretation of events. We had informed the client that the 6-ft sliding door can be enlarge to 8-feet, but would need to perform seismic calculations to fully understand the impact on the existing structure. The house was built in 1980 and the as-built drawings indicated that the stucco wall (no plywood) was the seismic resisting system, which is no longer allowed in high seismic zones per the current 2010 California Building Code and ASCE/SEI 7-05. Our game plan was to perform a seismic analysis on the rear wall, which was highly perforated with windows and doors already. If our analysis showed the shear load increase is less than 10% or relatively low, then a statement stating that no further seismic upgrade is required should suffice. However, there is the possibility that a seismic upgrade to the 1st floor may be required. We believe the client latched onto the last statement "seismic upgrade to the 1st floor" then misunderstood it to mean the entire back side of the building and got scared from doing the job. A professional needs to inform, yet not overwhelm the client with information and various possibilities. It appears that we failed in this endeavor and apologize. Bottom line is that their home, like others built in the same manner, do not meet current seismic codes and the larger door would further lower their houses seismic resistance. However, this doesn’t mean that their house is unsafe or would be unsafe. All field visits are $200.00, but we always encourage clients to first visit us at our office for free consultation.

I wanted to expand my basement, which would require a new retaining wall close to the house's foundation. Since the structural integrity of the house is dependent on well-supported foundation, I did not want to do a project like this without proper structural engineering calculations and design. When I was looking for a structural engineer, I called several other candidates, and met with a couple of them. Kent with Sezen & Moon made a very good impression during our first meeting. He took his time to understand the project, and his initial comments were insightful. I hired Kent for the job, and I ended up being very pleased with his work. My project was a little tricky, and I met with him a couple of times to address different areas of concern. Ultimately, his design turned out great. It met my needs from a structural standpoint, and his price was very reasonable. Overally, I am extremely pleased with Sezen & Moon. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to a friend, and I will certainly be calling Kent again for any future structural design needs that I have.
Description of Work: Kent designed a tricky retaining wall for the expansion of my basement. He did all of the structural calculations, and the main structural drawings. In order to save some money, I did some of the general overall project drawings myself.

They were very responsive. They have a very good reputation in the area. They were very fast about doing the work. They aren't 100% done yet, because they need to follow through and get permits. If any questions pop up, they have to respond to those as part of the original cost.
Description of Work: They are drawing up structural plans for some modifications to the house.

We used them and decided not to go forward with the project. The plan turned out to be too expensive. The job wasn't worth it. I thought they were good. However, one of the guys was hard to understand. I think they did their job and helped us out. One owner is very personable and helpful. However, the other owner needs to improve his English.
