We won the Earthquake Brace and Bolt award last year and we were looking around for seismic retrofit general contractors. It turns out our house has a soft-story and would need an engineered solution -- and general contractors don't do that -- they only build, they can't design. I asked several of them who they'd recommend and they pointed me to Kent Ferre at KSF Structural.

I asked KSF if they could do the plans. It turns out that there wasn't enough turnaround time and so we had to return the award. This year, I put in my application again and actually won it (two years in a row!) but I had my ducks in a row and had asked KSF well ahead of time if he could do the plans.

Kent came and spent several hours measuring my house. The next day, he sent a very thorough inspection summary. Three weeks after that, came an extensive set of plans. We wanted some slight changes to the layout and he accomodated those immediately and sent us a new set of plans. We agreed and he sent the final documents along with the seismic calculations of the loads. Kent always returns emails promptly and is a joy to work with. Five stars there.

In terms of the cost, it turns out when you do an engineered solution that you don't need to make every inch of the entire perimeter of the house -- all four out walls into sheer wall -- as the standard plans have you do. And we didn't need an expensive steel truss system poured into the foundations to support the soft story as one general contractor suggested we might.

So I think we ended up saving money over the standard plans even considering that we had to get custom engineering plans made - in terms of labor and materials that will be needed.

And we got a very nice set of measured engineering plans made for our house, which is nice given that it was built in 1917 and floor plans are long gone.

Skip ahead and the permit was accepted by Oakland. The city had an engineer look at them and they were stamped "approved immediately. So the lack of hassle there was much appreciated.
