Rigid Frame Structural Engineers Inc. And Architects

Work was scheduled for 2 weeks, after many delays work was completed in 10 weeks. Many of the delays were NOT the fault of the company.
However the work was slow (general contractor was horrid,( read to the end)), my home was VERY dirty, dusty for the duration . General contractor did not use protective coverings on my furniture, carpet or stairways, a carpet in my basement was beyond repair and had to be destroyed. For some reason all the frame cutting was completed indoors, hence the extreme mess.

The gentlemen that own the company were very knowledgeable about the work they were completing, kind, considerate and courteous.
The trades rating:
drywall: excellent, fast , clean, amazing detail work
Electrical: good (he was working another business (non electrical), during the time he spent at my home- thus a 2 day job took 2 weeks), his work was good, though all the little cuts of electrical wire were left where they landed.
H VAC: excellent
Steel Beam installer: excellent
Handyman general construction: HORRID
Plumbing: excellent
The general contractor was let go near the end of the job, but the damage to my carpets, furniture and just absolutely everything in my basement was horrific. You may wonder why I didn't complain about the general contractor; I was overwhelmed at the slow pace of the job , I was concerned that if I complained additional delays as this employee was replaced would extend the work even further.
I would recommend this company with the caveat, do your own furniture and carpet coverings before any work is started.
The finished product is very nice, I have a safe, solid steel beam supporting my open concept home.

I contacted Pezhman on the merit of the other strong Homestar reviews. I liked him over the phone so agreed to have him come to the house. He came with his business partner and they were very nice, helpful, and generated ideas of how to replace our garage doors so that a vehicle could actually drive into the garage.

They were very good to deal with, submitted all the drawings and the permit was granted in a flash.

I have worked with Arvin and Pezhman at Rigid Frame now for over 5 years on many projects of various sizes and complexities. They are a great company to work with, they know their stuff, turn around designs in a reasonable amount of time and are well priced for the scope of their services. I will continue to use them for all of my Structural Engineering needs and would recommend them to anyone looking for an Engineer.

We discovered significant structural issues in the basement of our 80's home within the first 6 months of moving in. We contacted and engaged Pehzman and the Rigid Frame team for a structural engineering consult and then engaged them to the work. Their drawings were very thorough and aligned to what we needed and wanted. We had no issues with our Town permits.

We also contracted the actual work to Pehzman and team which includes structural beams, raising floors of a sunken living room, HVAC , electrical and plumbing. We are so impressed with the quality of the work from all trades ,the project management and the communication throughout the entire construction.

This is the first we have ever undergone any structural design and construction and are so happy that we engaged the Rigid Frame team. Total professionals who are professional, reliable and do quality work.

We reached out to Rigid Frame based on their excellent reviews on HomeStars, as we were looking to have some interior load-bearing walls removed to open up our main floor, and needed to get architectural/engineering drawings done. Pezhman was extremely easy to communicate with, and both Pezhman and Arvin were professional, knowledgeable and clearly take great pride in their work. During the first site visit they immediately spotted what looked like asbestos in the duct work, and put us in touch with an asbestos removal company to get it checked out. It turned out we had a significant amount of asbestos (not only in the duct work) that we had to get removed, which from a budgetary perspective meant that we put a hold on removing the interior load-bearing walls. We appreciated Pezhman's focus on our family's health and safety first, even when this meant we had to put a hold on the job we had initially contacted them for.

Rigid Frames did the architectural and structural drawings for my basement renovation. Pezhman and Arvin were both very friendly, knowledgeable and provided great advice on the drawings. Pezhman kept me updated on the development of the drawings and was very responsive to ALL my questions! I would highly recommend Rigid Frames for any structural and architectural work!

our company "Royal Work Corp" did 4 underpinnings where Arvin prepared the drawings and every time it was very easy to deal with them. They are highly professional, responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend this company to any person who plans the construction project.

We hired Rigid Frame to help us with our home renovations and to build our addition. Pezhman and Arvin were both very helpful and always there whenever we had any question. They provided excellent recommendations and suggestions throughout the process. We received exceptional service in all areas of drawings, zoning, and permits. They were consistently updating us with any changes and prompt with any communication. Both Pezhman and Arvin were an immense help in getting our house to be what we hoped it would be.

I hired rigid frame to remodel our 40+ years old house based on their excellent reviews on home star. To make the house open concept, we have to remove a few load bearing walls, add the supports in basement and strengthen the foundation of the house, Pezhuman and Arvin provided many valuable advices and designed the new architectural and structural that accommodate our needs. They are very friendly and professional throughout the entire process, and I’m very happy to work with them. Thanks!

We contacted Rigid Frame Structural Engineers in May 2017 to help us design a rear addition, new garage, and vaulting our existing living room.

Shortly after, Pezhman and Arwin both came for a site visit and then started working on the required drawings for the zoning and building permit. They were very professional
and would always take the time to answer any of your questions.

We ran into a bunch of delays from the city and they required changes with some of the designs, but Pezhman helped us through all the changes (We had to pay for a few extra hours). We finally got our building permit now in April 2018.

We started the construction of the addition and garage mid June 2018 and some of the plans did need to get changed because of our budget. Pezhman has been great in helping us make
the necessary changes in order to suit our budget though!

Overall, it wasn't always smooth sailing with the project but we are happy with the results and through out the process, Pezhman was always easy to contact via phone. If he doesn't pick up right away, he'll usually call back within the day!
