We are so glad we selected the Trush / Steelcore Builders team to perform our seismic retrofit on our HOA building. My co-board member knew right away that Trush was the right contractor for our structural project after her first phone conversation with Shahram. When I first met Shahram for our on-site walk-through and plan review, I instantly knew what she meant; Shahram was very communicative, had a knack for explaining things, and was very easy to work with to establish a project phasing plan to minimize impact on the residents.
Shahram made the project appear effortless to manage although I'm sure he likely dealt with hundreds of emails and phone calls to keep the project moving smoothly. Yet, he managed to keep us completely informed on project status and issues and were always very responsive to issues that we brought up. After our initial meeting, I believe every correspondence was over email without the need to escalate to a chain of telephone conference calls. I think this is a testament to how well he communicated and quite amazing considering the scope of the project and some of the issues we faced.
Throughout the project, Shahram worked closely with our design engineer JYASF on our behalf to find cost-effective solutions to new issues. We are glad that we chose Trush and JYASF as a team.
I never met Peter or the foreman Jose, but we were also impressed with their work. The crew was professional and kept the work site very clean and tidy. Additionally the crew was respectful of the space and clearly considered impact on our residents in terms of maintaining security and noise during the working hours. Although we are happy the project is over and we can move back into our storage units, we were all delighted and surprised by the low impact the project had on us and our homes.
