Basement Underpinning and walkout drawings and permits

We had a foundation crack at the front of our house that developed over this past winter. After consulting with a few contractors they all said to repair the leak the washroom and the utility room would need to be gutted to find the leak. Then we would need to dig it out from the outside or the inside and waterproof it. Our basement ceiling is 6ft high and the layout is awkward. After getting rough quotes from the contractors we decided to waterproof internally and transform the interior living space to meet our needs. When I asked for recommendations for this work 3 different contractors recommended KH Davis for our structural drawings and permits. Based on this feedback we decided to use KH Davis and we are very happy that we did. By getting the drawings and permits through our own engineer we would be able to ensure there were no corners cut. We would also be able to send it out to get a quote from whoever we wanted to get accurate apples to apples quotes to compare from all the contractors. Then we could choose the contractor based on reputation and price. We contacted KH Davis on the Friday and were called back on the Monday. Mike Shirzadfar and the team went through everything and I had my permits and drawings within 3 weeks. I have used these drawings to show underpinning contractors that we are serious about the work we want to complete and the contractors are all happy with the drawings, responsive to my inquiries and I am able to quickly eliminate 5 quotes that are 20-50K above a group of quotes all around the same price. This is money very well spent!. The comments we get back from contractors quoting on our underpinning and walkout are "how did you hear about Ken Davis?" "he is really good" "these are very thorough". I am very pleased with service and happy that I used KH Davis for my Engineering drawings and Permits.
