Arash (and his team) was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the process. He was patient in answering my questions and provided clear guidance when I needed structural engineering support for my project. The whole experience was smooth and efficient, and I really appreciated his help. I would definitely recommend Arash to anyone looking for a reliable structural engineer. More...

We had a full home renovation done, including removing load-bearing walls, structural work, and obtaining all the required permits from the City. From start to finish, Arash and his team were professional and knowledgeable.

If you’re looking for a reliable engineering and building company that knows how to properly handle structural renovations and city approvals, I highly recommend them.

I was ASKED to provide feedback so here it is: Arash was professional. I booked him because of the positive feedback on Homestars. He pointed out the issues. Ultimately, what soured me on him and the company was, once I paid the full fee and he drafted the plans, I wanted changes. And ultimately, they were for the better. I understood that there came an extra cost for implementing the changes I requested. But there were delays. When I asked for them to give me THEIR deadline, they still blew past it. Arash would ignore emails, texts and phone calls. I lost at LEAST 6 weeks total in moving forward with the renos because twice the plan had to be amended (once because of my change request, a 2nd time when I had to point out that due to change that was made, he forgot to alter another element in the design. And I waited another 2-3 weeks for him to send me the new plans. And in reality it probably took less than 30 mins to make that 2nd amendment. More...

I contacted UTES to help me with obtaining city permits, layout design, as well as mechanical / plumbing drawings for my dental hygiene clinic.

It was my first time ever going through a process like this, but Arash & his team made it seamless.

Arash had a very professional appearance and demeanor when we met in person, and was fast and efficient.

Arash also went above and beyond by persistently e-mailing and calling the city zoning examiner almost everyday to follow up after their extended delays.

I definitely recommend working with UTES, and would be pleased to do business with Arash and his team again.

I had the pleasure of working with Arash Bahamin and his team at Utes for the renovation of a property into a commercial dental clinic, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, Arash and his team demonstrated exceptional technical expertise and professionalism. The design and planning phase had its challenges — including site constraints, navigating complex heritage, grading and landscaping requirements, and working through town and regional permit applications — but Arash handled it all with great skill and attention to detail. One of the things that really impressed me was how effectively Arash communicated and collaborated with local authorities, inspectors, and our general contractor throughout the construction phase. His proactive approach helped to keep the project on track, resolving issues quickly and ensuring everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a team that combines engineering and architectural expertise with excellent project management, I highly recommend Arash Bahamin and Utes. They were a huge asset to our project, and I’m confident they’ll deliver outstanding results on any development project. More...

Working with Arash has been a pleasure. He took the time to understand our requirements and design priorities, he prepared cost-effective solutions, and, when needed, he provided us with the facts so that we could make informed design decisions. He was thorough and effective at the same time, and our permit was approved faster than expected. Looking forward to working with you again on the next project. More...
