    Karim and the STAY STEEL team are the only structural engineers I trust. This is our second project together, and once again they’ve made everything so seamless. Karim remembered the specifics of our previous job, which saved us time and helped deliver a tailored solution. Efficient, affordable, and incredibly professional!

    We hired Karim and his team for a second time — and just like before, the experience was outstanding. The communication, the accuracy of the drawings, the level of care and attention to detail — all exceeded expectations. It’s rare to find a company so consistently excellent. Truly grateful for all your hard work!

    I was recommended Karim by a friend, and now I see why! This was my first time working with a structural engineer and Karim made it stress-free. His drawings were spot-on, building control had no issues, and my builder had everything he needed. Excellent service all around.

    This was our second time working with STAY STEEL — and somehow they managed to impress us even more than the first! Karim’s knowledge, patience, and genuine care for our project were evident from day one. We now consider him our go-to structural engineer for any future work. A true professional and a pleasure to work with.
