- Jeff Van Dam, Triple Line Solar, Murrieta, CA
Loyd W. Martin is the engineer that helped me build my dream home. I use the word “helped”, because he really helped me build my home against all odds. This project was a challenge from the onset: modern architecture; owner/builder with no experience; limited resources. Initially, I tried to work with other firms, but they declined to work on the project – stating either lack of experience on such kind of projects or simply disbelieve that owner/builder can pull this off. Finally, I found Loyd. He quickly understood the difficulties on this project, but took it, never the less. In short period of time and at reasonable price, he completed the structural design and engineering calculations for the house. The design included two massive steel Moment Frames, plus a myriad of other technical challenges that had to be addressed. Other firms would have been done after completing the drawings and the calculations, but not Loyd. He helped me in every step of the process: from obtaining the building permits; to inspections; to advise on subcontractors; etc. He was there for me, at every step until the house was build. When I had a question on any part of the building process, I was able to find answers from Loyd. The level of professional excellence that Loyd demonstrated on this job, combined with his moral compass, is a rarity, that I highly recommend to anyone who can benefit from his services.
