Reviews From Clients Across the United States
“Working with ResidentialPE is always pleasant, helpful, and professional. Thank you!”
Jamie Madron
“Exceptional service from start to finish. ResidentialPE was extremely thorough in presenting our engineering plans from all possible angles. Their research into our specific project needs and their understanding of regulatory requirements were evident in the meticulous details of the final plans. 10/10 would absolutely recommend and use their services again.”
Noah Williams
“Unbelievable service from ResidentialPE. They really know their stuff. I'm building a custom home in the States, and they were able to take all of my wants and make them functional within the parameters of a safe structure. Very pleased with their work. I would definitely recommend ResidentialPE!”
Benjamin Moore
“Great experience with the team, amazing guys—easy to communicate with and very satisfied with their service.”
Jack Scott
“Highly recommend. ResidentialPE got my audited permit application approved in no time. Thanks for the excellent service!”
Henry Young
“I’m so glad I chose to work with ResidentialPE. They responded very quickly and were helpful from beginning to end. They clearly have a deep understanding of the engineering and permit approval process and were always willing to provide additional help if issues arose. Thank you.”
Lucas Allen
“I started working on my permit application and felt stuck; my project details were repetitive, and I worried about compliance issues due to the repetitive information. ResidentialPE took the information I had, ensured it was concise and met all relevant standards, and completed the revisions in under 24 hours! Very thrilled and worth the investment of $2000 to have peace of mind for the application. Now I just need to proceed with the next steps!”
David Hall
“The first draft of our engineering plans had some significant errors that were concerning. We were initially disappointed, but ResidentialPE's team worked tirelessly to rectify the issues and provided a corrected version promptly. Their dedication to resolving the problem was commendable, and we were happy with the final result.”
Samuel Lewis
“The first set of plans we received had some errors, which delayed our project. But ResidentialPE quickly acknowledged the mistake and worked diligently to fix it. Their commitment to making things right was impressive, and we were satisfied with the final outcome.”
Matthew Clark
“Very swift delivery and exceptional work. Thank you,”
Daniel White
“I had the pleasure of collaborating with ResidentialPE to convert an image floor plan into an AutoCAD drawing, and the result was fantastic. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and communication made the process smooth. The accuracy of the final drawing was impressive, reflecting their expertise and dedication. I highly recommend their top-notch CAD services!”
Michael Anderson
“Excellent to work with, and I am already preparing to work with ResidentialPE on another project. Communication is very responsive and polite. Their work is of great quality.”
Elijah Taylor
“I needed a floor plan for a new property for approval purposes. For a super low price, ResidentialPE used my hand sketch to create an accurate, detailed floor plan within a few hours of placing the job. Don’t go downloading random software and trying to do it yourself—this service will be quicker with a more professional result!”
James Wilson
“It was a complex engineering project in a challenging regulatory environment, where the target space is just beginning to grow. ResidentialPE combined our input with their research to create excellent engineering plans and obtain necessary permit approvals.”
William Miller
“They understand project requirements very quickly and present plans that meet our goals efficiently. They constantly communicated and got input from me to meet the project deadlines and requirements. This is my second project with them, and I would definitely approach them for more in the future. They are wonderful to work with. Strongly recommend ResidentialPE.”
Jacob Davis
“ResidentialPE did a good job. I provided them with a previous set of plans with most of the details. I think I would rate it higher if they had reached out at the beginning and asked more questions about what I needed. It took a few back-and-forths to get the final product. My feedback would be to communicate better at the start to get clear requirements.”
Mason Brown
“They were the BEST!!! I received complex and thorough engineering plans, including permit approvals, well before the due date! Thank you for making this part of the project seamless.”
Liam Johnson
“Exceeded all my expectations for the project. Received very detailed engineering plans, with all necessary research and compliance requirements met, even in such a challenging regulatory environment. I highly recommend ResidentialPE and their engineers, and I look forward to future projects with them again.”
Ethan Thomas
“Great experience with ResidentialPE. Everything is set for my project next week.”

The Patterns Behind the Reviews
Reading nineteen reviews back to back, the same three things come up again and again — and one criticism does too.
Speed Is What People Notice First
Almost every review mentions turnaround. Clients come to us because a permit deadline is already tight, and the 48-to-72-hour standard is the reason projects stop slipping.
Communication, Not Just Drawings
The second recurring theme is responsiveness — being able to reach an engineer, ask a question and get a straight answer rather than waiting days for an email.
Sets That Pass Review
Several clients specifically mention approval going through without correction letters. That is the outcome the whole process is built around.
Where We Have Fallen Short
Two reviews describe errors in a first draft that we then corrected. We publish those rather than hide them, because how a firm handles a mistake is more informative than a wall of five-star ratings.
What We Changed As a Result
Those reviews are why an independent review step now sits between design and sealing, and why we ask more questions up front rather than assuming the brief is complete.
Repeat Work
Several reviewers mention already planning their next project with us. Repeat business from contractors is the metric we actually watch.
How We Protect You Before You Spend a Dollar
Engineering is bought on trust long before it is bought on price. These are the commitments every Residential PE engagement carries, in writing, from the first message.
Free Quote, One Fixed Fee
Consultations and quotes cost nothing. You receive one written fixed fee against a written sheet list — no hourly billing, no surprise add-ons.
A Named Engineer of Record
Every drawing is sealed by a professional engineer holding an active licence in your project’s state, and we confirm who that engineer is before you commit.
Revisions Until Approval
If the plan reviewer returns comments, we revise the sealed drawings and respond as part of the original fee — never as a change order.
Your Documents Stay Private
Drawings, surveys and site information are used only to engineer your project. They are never resold, published or used as portfolio material without consent.
48–72 Hour Turnaround
Most standard packages are sealed and returned within two to three business days, so engineering is never the reason a permit slips.
A Real Engineer Answers
Questions reach an engineer, not a call centre. Open the live chat and you are talking to someone who can actually scope and price the job.
Reviews Are One Half of the Picture
If you would rather look at delivered drawings than read testimonials, the completed projects page shows permit sets we have produced and had approved.
