DEG India / Chetan Patel has provided us with structural plans for about two years now and we always get a permit – even for some of the most challenging, already built without a permit, structures that are seeking after-the-fact permits 5 or 10 or 20 years after they were built. They handle our luxury homes and commercial buildings equally well. Not all engineers are as flexible, creative and always good natured in this line of work. Importantly Chetan has also earned the trust of our reviewing bureaucrats and respond to comments within days – something we had trouble getting from our mainland engineers.
