I would highly recommend Ostan Engineering. We had a complicated structural issue with load bearing wall removal and they came and worked with us on a perfect solution to our situation. They stayed well beyond the time allotted for the job to make sure it was done 100% correctly. There was a lot of detail put into this job and the end result was extremely well laid out and very professional.

Ostan Engineering Inc. made the first step to our home renovation effortless. Obi listened to our input and prepared a functional layout that is built to code. This is my second time working with Ostan and I would recommend this business for anyone building a home addition or a new construction.

Obinna was an incredible addition to our project and we couldn't thank him enough for his help. I have already refered two of my friends to Ostan Engineering and will continue to refere them to anyone looking for structural engineering services. They were very prompt with their communication and had our finished drawings within days. I look forward to working with them again soon.
