We have worked with WDY, Inc. in both Civil and Structural projects for the last fourteen years. The professionalism and attention to detail of this firm, along with the timely production of construction documents makes them an invaluable partner on our Design Team. We recommend them without reservation.
Mac McSwain Architect, McSwain & Woods Architects LLP
WDY is easy going yet ready to handle any unexpected challenges. They communicate well with other team members, write comprehensive reports and have a solid grasp of regulatory codes along with a strong understanding of seismic design. A pleasure to work with!
Leslie Crehan Architect/Project Manager, Home Forward
Working with WDY over the past 15 years, they have provided innovative services while remaining sensitive to our budget constraints. Their engineers work to find creative solutions and do an excellent job of listening to our needs. This is a very valuable combination.
Bassam Khalifeh Project Manager, Capital Improvements Washington County
We appreciate WDY’s qualities of creative problem solving and strong technical skills. Our design team benefits from the Principal’s active involvement in projects and streamlined communication and decision making.
Robert Schroeder Senior Project Architect Gazley Plowman Architects
The Seismic Report provided by WDY, to stabilize my home sounds great. I am truly appreciative that it is understandable and thoughtfully prepared . Thank you for sending such well-trained, good people to my home to do these important studies. I am feeling very positive about proceeding.
Tam Markham
I really appreciate the time and care that WDY gave to [my project]. Of the many firms I contacted, very few actually got back to me and of those only your's took the time to review my materials and put together a proposal that outlined and recognized my concerns.
Ian Cobb-Ozane Commercial Client
I wanted to highly recommend a structural engineering firm that really impressed me. I am in the throws of a master bathroom remodel and my plumbers ran into a structural problem that needed to be evaluated by an engineer. After they reached out to numerous engineering firms and architects and could not even receive a return phone call, I took over. I made one call to a firm right here in Raleigh Hills and they were amazing. The principal of the firm, Scott Walker was literally at my home within an hour of speaking to him and wrote up the structural report the very next day. Super nice, super professional and didn’t cause us to lose valuable time with this whole project. WDY Structural and Civil Engineers, you rock and I can’t thank you enough!!
