As the Director of Architecture for a large national housing provider, I have had the pleasure of working with KSE Engineering. Over the past 18+ years I have found the experience valuable and rewarding to our company. KSE’s expertise in structural design has led us to keep down with value engineering, as well as providing a blueprint for our framers and vendors to provide consistency in production of our homes. All members of the KSE Staff are consummate professionals and are also a pleasure to work side by side with. Their knowledge of the industry as structural engineers can only serve as a great contribution to any housing provider.

I have had the pleasure of working with KSE Engineering for several years and I cannot speak highly enough of this team.I have worked with both the Structural Engineering team and Architectural team and their knowledge and skill in both areas are unprecedented. Their work has always come back in a timely fashion, is accurate, and helps me do my job better. They are wonderful about even the smallest changes to a project and when my decisions change from day to day, they stay on schedule and are great about making sure that everything affected by the change is considered. Again, I think very highly of the work I have received from KSE and I strongly recommend this group to anyone who is looking for solid Structural Engineering and Architectural Design.

KSE stands out amongst all other of our partners. They run a company with good people, good processes, and good communication. They work quickly, and accurately. KSE’s team members are always easy to reach and work efficiently to solve problems. Best of all, when they set expectations, they meet or exceed them!
Ryan C., Directory of Operations

I have partnered with KSE for almost a decade in large volume production home building. Ken Keen and Andrew Moore have always fulfilled my expectations. Having dealt with other engineers throughout my career, KSE far exceeds others in their responsiveness, attention to detail, and customer service. Not only do they provide quality engineering, but they do it with the customers’ building cost in mind. A unique trait about KSE is they are willing to collaborate with the customer when an engineering detail is not efficient and causing headaches during the building or inspection process. I would recommend KSE to any business that is seeking professional engineering.
Garrison S., Director of Operations

I have worked with Charles for years. He is reliable, competent, and very responsive. I can always count on him. And he has a great sense of humor, which I enjoy. I feel lucky to have him as a part of our consultant team.

KSE provides us with sound engineering for our plans and cost-effective designs that do not waste unnecessary materials. They help us to save time and money with their designs. Their turnaround time is outstanding and there is always someone available to address questions and field issues. KSE is a key component to our success as a homebuilder in today’s highly competitive housing market. I highly recommend KSE Engineering!
