They provided a quote ($600) in no time, offered to send out a sample report and asked for the address of the house. When I probed them with what the evaluation involved (such as mapping floor levelness) and whether they were independent without financial ties to contractors, I learned they don't map floor levelness. They didn't answer the bulk of my questions, and they ended stating they don't have the bandwidth to take on my project.

My partner and I hired HC Design and Construction originally for engineering services. When we…read morefound out that they were able to take on more projects after completion of our original we felt relieved knowing we wouldn't have to continue shopping around for an additional service provider. Humza and his team do a great job. They delivered quality work, were knowledgeable enough to make recommendations throughout the process, and we were impressed by Humza's entrepreneurial spirit and Jack-of-many-trades persona.

For the past month, Humza has intermittently talked out of all sides of his mouth, contradicting…read morehimself and providing sketchy commentary that has delayed our project for close to a month. He doesn't appear to be phased by not doing what he says or fulfilling anything pertinent to the relatively small part he may have had for this project. The underlying theme of his inconsistent communications and mixed messaging, is akin to throwing out a bunch of fishing lines hoping to snag something with one or more them. So he arrives for an introductory visit to see the job. Then he repeatedly grouses at end of brief visit and for weeks later because he claims to usually charge for an intro appointment. But that's not what we agreed to from the onset. All he seems interested in, way late and after burning this bridge for weeks and not responding timely or at all on topic, is to recoup money for an intro appointment he agreed was no charge, then send vacuous emails off topic and complain that he's not been paid for them either. He punctuates that carnival like behavior by fixating on soliciting a large retainer ahead of some unknown level of service to follow on an hourly basis. Such an unprofessional, predatory manner of stringing along well intentioned potential property owner and some contractors. Not a good or trustworthy or professional look or experience by any measure. If I was to ever revisit this with him, which is highly unlikely, I'd be sure to charge him a retainer up front.

He was incredibly knowledgeable and hands-on, especially when it came to navigating city requirements, securing permits, and coordinating inspections, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Communication was clear, timelines were well managed, and the quality of work was top-notch. Ryan was proactive in flagging issues early and thoughtful about solutions, and the final result exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him for any major renovation or construction project.

Nova Structures actually took the time to work with my specific needs. Reza came out to the site and was able to come up with a solution to my structural engineering problem.

The engineering plans potentially saved me several thousands of dollars versus what other firms said the build out could cost.

When I contacted them to get more information they responded timely. Made an appointment with them about a week and a half later. Arash came to the house and looked everywhere garage, outside, all the rooms. And thankfully he said there is no foundation concern. Took him I want to say about 40min to look everywhere. They are not cheap. My eyes almost popped out of my socket when I heard about their rate. But I want someone with experience to look at the house. Anyways, there is a little hiccup with the invoice but they reached back to me quickly to resolve it. The inspection cost is separate to the report fee. Just fyi.

This owner Bruce is a total nightmare, stay away!!! He suggests solutions that are three times…read moremore expensive than anyone else and REFUSES to work with other engineers who say he is being far too unreasonable. Look at his other reviews! Three people just had to hire someone else and they are out $4000 because he is so horrible to work with. I am out $4500 and he is a completely unreasonable and he thinks he is smarter than anyone else, when really he is so full of himself no one can get through to him. He is super abusive, many many people have issues with his personality. This company should not exist anymore he is that bad. Will not listen and in my opnion is a complelety abusive and dishonest person. His managwr told me he does not work with push piers or do work for push piers AFTER I paid them and I ws very clear that the foundation fix I needed was being done with push piers, He took my money and he had no way to meet my needs, very dishonest, I hired Bruce Emam to do a soil test for my foundation repair and a possible addition. He called right when the workers were about to start and wanted $1000 more - shady. He tried to pressure me and yelled at me and called several times for more money before they would start working. Like he was holding me hostage. I tried to talk to him he just talked over me and was yelling over and over like he was beating me up with his words. He got off on being a bully. Very aggressive, very powerplay. He said much more extensive work was needed. I had explained the project throughly several times and all was well documented. He would just yell and not listen, total bully. The bait and switch was not appreciated. I cancelled the job and am asking for my deposit back. After calling many other soil companies I realized my job was too small and Bruce was the only one who would do it in the timeframe I needed. I called his manager and he said he would do it but I still had to pay $4500 instead of $3900. Bruce and he was upset at the bad review and wanted me to take it down. I said when I have a good experience and you guys turn out to be nice pople I can take down the bad review. He did the soils report and asked for my money before he would send the report. I said I paid him a deposit I would like to make sure he did the report before paying, but I ended up paying. His report apparently stated they needed concrete piers which are three times more expensive and according to the foundation company completely unnecessary. They said it completely over the top, Those are only used on a landslide or slopes in extreme situations and my ground is flat and totally not needed. He is just all about money. I feel He is intentionally trying to screw me over and make the job three times more expensive. I feel He is very much a power-play guy, holds people hostage has SERIOUS, SERIOUS control Issues, has "I have to be right issues". In my personal opinion, There is something psychologically wrong with this guy. It seems to me he enjoys being vicious and will try to destroy you if you disagree with him. I would never never never recommend this company to anyone and I feel he is a scam artist and highly unethical because he is such a control freak. I am thinking of calling the other people who have worked with him and had to get a totally new report to file a class action lawsuit with me against this terror of a man. Any takers??? He is all about money and a complete CONTROL FREAK AND YOU MUST OBEY HIM OR HE WILL BE BRUTALLY MEAN TO YOU. His own workers say there are many complaints about his personality. I need a full refund or I am seriously considering a lawsuit againt this unethical dishonest bully. This is my experience. This guy is BAD. This is my personal experience with this highly ABUSIVE and overly dominant individual STAY AWAY.
