Rigid Frame Structural Engineers Inc. And Architects

We purchased a 90+yro house which needed a full house renovation including basement underpinning. Pezhman and his team (Arvin and Emeline) did a great job from the very start and carefully listened to our needs and desires and guided us with what made sense. Pezhman is very nice and PATIENT and technically knowledgeable which we are very grateful for that because in this business it's very hard to find such people (talking from my personal experience so far!)

Our underpinning drawings got accepted in 2 weeks so we could start the job on time. The rest of our drawings got delayed due to some city complications which were not the Rigid Frames fault, however their superb support was very heartwarming during such stressful time :)

We are very happy with our decision and will definitely recommend them to anyone who's seeking for the best support and results.

Amazing company to work with. Everything was as promised and on time. They started on the scheduled day and finished before the promised date. I wish there are more companies managed like this to do business with. Thank you Arvin & Pezhman. Highly recommended!

I purchased my house in June and I planned to do a full renovation of the house plus underpinning of the basement with getting all the required permits from the city. I had the pleasure to find and work with Pezhman and Arvin for that matter and I am really happy about their service.

They did structural and architectural drawings for the whole house renovation which included removing load bearing walls to make an open concept house, cutting out doors and windows, underpinning of the basement, drawing a floor plan for the basement, etc. I also plan to do the HVAC drawing with them as well.

Pezhman and his team were very responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced. Pezhman has a very likable character, very reasonable person and always open to discussion and new ideas. The fact that he would always take the time to answer all my questions is a big PLUS for them.

I would certainly recommend Rigid Frames for all your drawings needs if you are doing small or big renovations.
Looking forward to getting the revision approval from the city.

Pezhman provided a structural analysis on a complex bathroom renovation project for my designer and me. He and his team quickly understood our needs, and supplied us with detailed engineering drawings that were very effective in meeting our goals. His work was an important part of helping us move forward with the project.

Rigid Frame’s patience all throughout this project (third floor addition, rear extension, underpinning) made our project possible. They were with us throughout the process; we went through the committee of adjustment before the main permit application and we felt that their knowledge, experience and expertise helped to pass all the stages to obtain the permit so we can build our new home. We are very happy and satisfied on how they approach each step. Being one stop shop, they prepared all our architectural, structural and HVA drawings. We also went through several plan changes/revisions during the course and Rigid Frame handle very well. I’m very happy to recommend Rigid Frame for all your drawings needs if you are doing an extensive renovation. We’re also getting a quote from them for the construction and would like to hire them for that stage as well

We hired Pezhman and Arvin to help us open the floor plan of our home in Woodbridge. This job was for the preparation of structural drawings for permit to remove a pony wall and two columns on the main floor of our house. We have worked with them previously on other projects so naturally they were our first choice for this job. Wow - another great experience! Pezhman and Arvin went our of their way to ensure that our needs were met. This was only a small job but we were taken aback by how much thought and care they took to ensuring all the details were perfect. At the site visit, we spoke about our priorities in this job (e.g. no work in the basement since it is already finished) and they were able to work the design around our needs. We are thoroughly impressed by Rigid Frame Structural Engineers and will certainly use them again for future projects.

Pezhman was very responsive to my needs and carefully answered all of my questions. Drawings were mailed to my home on request. Professional and helpful. Felt confidant in their level of expertise. He also assisted to try to keep within my budget.

I am taking a load bearing out. Arvin and Pehzman were prompt in providing a quote for the scope of work.
They came to my house (which was out of their way) and took all the measurements necessary and were very detailed and knowledgeable.
Both were very pleasant and polite, and easy to talk to.
Looking forward to seeing the finished drawings

I found Rigid Frame through Homestars with high review scores and decided to go with them for my second story addition drawing and permission. Pezhman and his staffs are very helpful and enthusiastic. They got approval faster than what we expected. Their price is fair!

I can’t say enough about Pehzman and his team. They are life savers!!
My wife and I decided to add a 2nd story addition to our bungalow a couple years back. Sadly, the general contractor we originally hired turned out to be a pair of con men who destroyed our home and left us in literal ruin. Yes, we were one of those horror stories you hear about on TV. Our home and all its contents were left exposed to the elements for months after the previous contractor removed our roof without a permit and left it that way, neglected, for several months until we finally took legal action against them. Not knowing where to turn to get our home rebuilt and get our lives back to normal, a contact of ours suggested getting in touch with Pehzman to assess the structural integrity of what we were left with.
After consulting with Pehzman we agreed to hire Rigid Frame to address the first few steps in the process of rebuilding our home. It was apparent right from day 1 that these guys are organized professionals who can be depended on. Crews were on site every day doing a very thorough job and identifiable progress was made daily, we were impressed immediately.

When it was discovered that the scope of their expertise covered all aspects of a full build out of a home, we sat down and requested they put in a bid for the entirety of our project. Their quote was competitive and the workmanship had already been proven to be excellent so we agreed to go with Rigid Frame to handle the entire overseeing of building our home. What a great decision that turned out to be!
The damage from the previous contractor was so great that our little 2nd story addition now became a full build from the ground up. Everything was replaced, walls, flooring, plumbing, electrical, insulation, everything! Pehzman has the credentials to handle every step and did so very smoothly.
Rigid Frame handled everything: waterproofed the basement, assessed and corrected all footings, as well as all required underpinning, produced a legal survey of the property, provided all architectural drawings, repaired all inefficiencies from previous contractors, properly framed the entire home, installed all flooring, plumbing, electrical, insulation, fixtures, entire exterior and also provided some interior/exterior design help. They truly are a one stop shop that can handle any job and get it done within the time tables they indicate. Couldn’t be happier with the decision to hire Rigid Frame to handle it all for us! A+++
