One reviewer said that DeWolfe made a mountain out of a mole hill and grossly inflated costs. That is our experience as well. We hired DeWolfe after another engineer made serious errors on our site map (got the set backs wrong and put the home site in the wrong place). After months of the first engineer not returning emails and phone calls, or correcting the site map, we hired DeWolfe to correct the site map and move the home site to within the set back area. Rather than doing that, they contacted the original engineer, who updated the site map and sent it to them in the corrected AutoCAD file. As a result, they really did not need to do the vast majority of the work for which we hired them. While we were grateful that they have a relationship with the first engineer, we are not really very happy about paying them for work they didn't actually do. Even worse: one of the members of our site crew asked their Sr. Engineer if they has measured the distance between the home and the septic system. DeWolf responded by saying that measuring that was "outside the scope of work." Huh? What? They were hired to move the home site. Doing so would 100% require them to measure the distances between the house and septic system. They then proposed an additional design phase to our project, that everyone else has said we didn't need to do and that would have delayed our project past a mission-critical deadline that was fast-approaching. They wanted to charge us an additional $7,000 for this new project that would have caused insurmountable delays for us. Furthermore, even though they did almost none of the actual work for which we hired them, they have told us they used up the entire budget for the project. When we complained and declined to hire them for the additional $7k, they canceled another small project we hired them for (to simply mark the drive on the property, which we believe they should have included in the original work). They seem to want to do the very least amount of work possible, while trying to squeeze as much cash out of their clients as they can. read more

A structural engineer from this company was hired to give an assessment of a property I was selling. They turned a molehill into a mountain, to put it lightly, and made it sound like my foundation was failing. They estimated the foundation needed to be rebuilt and gave an astronomically high estimate ($60,000 to $80,000), but they then said to get some contractors in to get actual prices. I had 7 different contractors look at the Dewolfe report, then looked at my foundation, and they ALL disagreed with his assessment- and gave estimates for repairs from $18,000 to $20,000 and totally disagreed that my foundation was failing. This caused the sale of my house to fall apart and I ended up hiring another accredited structural engineer for a 2nd opinion who ALSO disagreed with the Dewolfe estimate and report. Unless you want to get an unrealistic, inaccurate and overly inflated report and estimate, avoid this company!!! read more
