BEAR Engineering

This review is long overdue as Nathan and his contractor partner at Anchor Systems helped my in-​laws re-​leveled their house in Aiea about a year ago. Since my in-​laws are elderly, I reviewed all the contractors and bids for them and followed the project remotely from California. My in-​laws’ house was on top of a ravine and the house was settling unevenly to a point where at one end the house was off by 3 inches and of course cracks developed in the house over the past decade. Nathan was the design engineer and Anchor Systems was the contractor for a series of micropiles and beam foundation to prevent settling from happening again after the house was re-​leveled, in addition to some concrete pathway and piping work to divert rainwater from washing down the foundation.
Overall, Nathan and Eric at Anchor Systems provided the most cost-​effective design and reasonable bid without over-​engineering. Moreover, Nathan was always responsive to my inquiries throughout the whole process and very diligent in taking photos at every stage of the inspection and sent them to me for review. The project was done exactly as they had planned and the house was back to level after years of falling apart. When I went to visit my in-​laws last July 4^th, I saw that they had done a very good job with the concrete pathway which as I understand has been very effective in diverting the rain water.
I would highly recommend Nathan not only for his good engineering design, but also for his responsiveness and trustworthiness.

Nathan came highly recommended and my standards were high given my experience with buildings and electrical systems in particular. The house was older so his engineering knowledge and experience came in very handy on many issues. He thoroughly checked out the difficult to enter crawlspace which is where several of the more significant issues were. His reporting is second to none and it was easy to ask him questions. he took the time to thoroughly go over each answer, Nathan was also answering questions for me several days later as new items arose. I felt proud showing my report off to my friends who were also impressed with the quality. If you are looking for someone you can trust to find and report on issues then I recommend Bear Engineering.
