Structural Engineer reviews in Raleigh, North Carolina

My 5 stars is based on my initial conversation with Jorge - his concern for clients, demonstrated expertise, and responsiveness. His approach is refreshing. I plan to leave another review if we move forward.

I had the pleasure of working with Jorge Aguas of EEI Engineering & Inspections during a recent buyer transaction, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He delivered outstanding service from start to finish. What most impressed me was the time he spent to thoroughly explain his findings and educate the client in a way that was clear and reassuring. Even with the added challenge of a holiday weekend, he provided a detailed and timely report that kept our timeline on track. His professionalism, responsiveness, and depth of knowledge made a big difference, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of a structural engineer.

EFFICIENT, RELIABLE, PROFESSIONAL, HONEST. Received prompt and straight forward assessment of our home by JORGE. He spent 2 hours with us explaining details of a job done poorly by another local engineering firm (with many 5 star reviews) and the damage done by their contractors to our foundation. Received a professional report within a week from EEI and understand all of our options going forward. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team and their experience. Call them FIRST!

I have had a wonderful experience dealing with EEI engineering & Inspections. Jorge was extremely responsive and knowledgeable and helped me in getting Mr. Kircher's inspection done and sent to the county asap. Thank you again EEI and Jorge.

UPDATE: The deal on the previous house didn't work out, but I'm so glad that Francisco Oliva saved my bacon on that one! He recently came out to another house and went through the whole process with me again. The dude really kicks ass!

EEI/Equagen responded very quickly to my need for a structural engineer and did so at a great price. Francisco was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. I received my report two business days after his inspection.

I'm glad I went with EEI and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a good structural engineer, especially if you need a quick turnaround.

As a real estate agent, I’ve worked with many vendors during transactions, and this structural engineering firm truly stands out. They were thorough, responsive, and timely, which is critical when working within tight contractual timelines.

What I appreciated most was their ability to clearly explain their findings in a way that was easy for both buyers and sellers to understand. They did an excellent job distinguishing between items that required immediate attention and those that were more informational in nature - communicating each with the appropriate level of gravity and without unnecessary alarm.

They also took the time to explain practical paths forward for resolving the issues identified, which helped keep the transaction moving smoothly and allowed all parties to make informed decisions with confidence. I would absolutely recommend them to clients and fellow agents alike and look forward to working with them again.

Jorge Aguas of EEI Engineering & Inspections was critical to our ability to show the existing structural limitations of a project Silver Lake Construction Co. was contracted to do. His exceptional ability to interpret the original structural drawings and inspect the existing site conditions confirmed that the wind bracing system of the original structure was still an essential component of the integrity of the building, though the use and structure of the building had changed over time. We are certain that bringing in EEI was the best decision to provide the professional opinion needed to ensure the safety of the structure and its inhabitants. We will definitely be using EEI in the future!

I had an excellent experience working with Jorge from EEI Engineering. He was professional and thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to accurately assess my project, clearly explained every recommendation, and provided practical solutions. The drawings, photos, and information provided were delivered promptly with great attention to detail. I really appreciated how responsive and easy it was to reach and communicate with Jorge before and after the process. I highly recommend Jorge to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled engineer. E.
