What Our Clients Say About SBKN

George Owens

“Working with SBKN was a game-changer. Their team handled all the structural and permit requirements for our home addition flawlessly. What impressed us most was their responsiveness and attention to detail. Every question we had was answered quickly, and their coordination with the city helped us avoid delays. We felt confident every step of the way and couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. I highly recommend SBKN to anyone looking for engineering support that’s professional, knowledgeable, and actually cares about the success of your project."

Kim Wexler

“We’ve worked with other firms before, but none compare to SBKN. They managed our commercial tenant improvement project with professionalism from start to finish. Their engineers delivered accurate, stamped drawings quickly, handled revisions without delay, and even worked directly with the city to push permits through faster than expected. Their clear communication and accountability helped us stay on track and under budget. We’ll definitely continue using SBKN for all our future builds and refer them to anyone in the industry.”

James Cart

“As a general contractor, I need reliable partners — and SBKN has been exactly that. They’ve helped us on multiple projects, from ADUs to full-scale remodels. Their structural and civil plans are always spot-on, and their ability to respond quickly to plan check comments saves us time and money. They understand the field, the permit process, and what it takes to get projects approved fast. I trust them completely and appreciate having a team that makes my job easier instead of harder.”
