I don't enjoy leaving poor reviews and rarely do so. I also don't enjoy having my time wasted. I…read morereached out to Lauren 6 weeks ago for a consult on a new home purchase after she was recommended by my realtor. She initially responded within a day and asked for drawings, which I promptly provided. Then crickets for a week. I followed up. She had been out of town, but re-engaged and said she would review my drawings and get me an engineering statement. Then crickets again. I followed up again a week later and again a week after that. She ultimately ghosted me. Communication and setting expectations is important. My project was delayed 6 weeks because Lauren was unable to do either. I've had architects tell me they are 6 months out from being able to start a project and I've decided to patiently wait. Other times, I might opt to move on if something is more urgent. Engaging with clients, making promises, then not following through is unprofessional and discourteous. Boo.

I had concerns over a basement wall and the work done by previous owners of my home. I called MCE…read moreand they agreed to send over an engineer. They were upfront about the cost of an assessment. Unfortunately, when the engineer arrived he concluded that the walls needed to be opened up completely for him to provide the assessment and that I should call them to come back again once I opened up all the walls. So I have basically paid hundreds of dollars for 20 minutes of their time and them to say "We don't know." It would have been nice to have known that completely open walls were necessary to do the eval. The only other feedback is that the engineer was polite, professional, and on time. My two stars are for the waste of time and money which i don't have a lot of. I have since worked with a couple other companies that were much better with communications and gave me great evaluations.

I had some concerns about the foundation of my old farmhouse. I reached out to several firms and…read morewent with Miller Consulting. I'm happy I did. Jordan & Ron were amazing and helped explain what was going on and what possible could happen, as well as several options for monitoring the situation and solving the situation. They were exceptional at responding to my questions and walked me through. They also seemed to care about my concerns, which was welcome. I highly recommend them for any/all structural engineering work you have.

It seems like this post should start with a joke. Well . . . What happened when the patio heater…read morewas placed too close to a load-bearing wooden beam? I think you know the rest of the story. We burned a hole into our covered patio wooden beam and we weren't sure what to do. We contacted our contractor, and they said contact an engineer. I found Bill's organization online. BSM Engineering - talk about a professional organization. From the moment we started interacting through email correspondence to multiple telephone calls, to a final verdict on what to do next, Bill was the highest degree of professionalism. Throughout the whole thing, Bill guided me in the process and helped me to understand the complexity of the issues. Add a proverbial cherry to the top of this otherwise phenomenally smooth process; and guess what, Bill didn't charge us a thing. He did the whole thing pro bono. Talk about a phenomenal company. The highest degree of professionalism. The best customer service. An incredibly well trained and highly ethical engineer. What more could you want? I can't think of anything better. If you ever need an engineer, and I know this for certain as far as our engineer needs in the future are concerned, go with Bill and BSM Engineering. You will be 100% satisfied.
