My architect and I hired John McCall of McCall & Young to do the engineering for an addition to my…read morehouse that included a master bedroom, bathroom, two closets and lanai. I cannot speak highly enough of John and the quality of his work. His engineering ability is top-notch as I saw with a number of aspects of the project that were complex. Equally important, he does engineering that is buildable, so you won't run into a situation where the engineer designs something that a contractor can't readily build. Related to this, during the implementation and building of the project when questions arose about things that related to engineering, he was plenty available to answer questions. Also, he was reasonable with the contractor in that he didn't make the contractor do more than was needed. His expertise and knowledge help in that respect because he can often come up with solutions that save you time and money. On top of all that, he was a positive and thoughtful person to work with. He's the best engineer I've used and I highly recommend him. Before the project, my architect told me John is highly regarded in the construction field and is considered one of the top engineers in Florida. Now I know why.

We requested a study for our residence due to several stucco cracks and called this firm based on…read moresomeone's recommendation. Nice receptionist who forwarded me to the phone of the person who handles residence construction issues. First time, second time and third time I leave a very polite VM asking for a return call to set up a home review. No return call. Each time I tell the receptionist this person is not returning my call. One of the four times I call I am sent to another number in the company where someone does answer the phone and this person assures me someone will call me back before end of day. Nada. I found another firm which was responsive in both answering my questions, returning my email the next day and scheduling a date for the visit. It is amazing to me how the trades in Sarasota even operate when so many show such lack of customer service skills.

I'd definitely not recommend this individual…read more He was hired to provide an architectural inspection report for a new home. I basically did all the work. Now me not being an engineer I wasn't exactly sure what he needed to see. I had a folder of many pictures. I shared with him via Google drive. Now if you're an expert and the photo is not something that's considered archducal, no need to analyze it. Just flip past it. The "many phone calls" from June 17 through September 11. I calculated both incoming & Outgoing to 62 min. 1 hr and 2 min. I back up my phone logs. I kept the calls short and infrequent as he bills for every millisecond. A few times i had to real him back to task because he was going on about his passion and his work up north. When on premises & on the phone. As I reiterated his own word back to him "He's expensive and time is money!" As I respect this fact to a degree. It's the nickel & dime aspect I find off putting. I requested all the permits from the country and provided them to Mark, he didn't even see the seal/signature. I had to point it out to him. Mark came out with his little point and shoot cam. Took a few shots, poked his head up through the attic access took maybe 2 or 3 shots. I requested the plans/ specs from the builder and requested them to cut a hole in the ceiling, I videoed a 1 min clip of the area with 4k video & provide it for review. After all was said and done I waited for a written report that never came. Part of the logged calls I mentioned earlier was me trying to obtain a report as a vague verbal is absolutely useless. At the end of the day I paid this individual a large sum and got useless information. The minute I expressed my discontent with the situation, as I was extremely upset. His reply was "I don't like your attitude and I'm not inclined to help you." He got paid & I recieved nothing but fluff.

Jeremiah was the product engineer and was professional while also being kind and explaining what they were doing. The covered areas I never thought about.

Jeff and his team arrived and had a professional appearance which, to me translates in to a job that will be done with the needed attention to detail. He and his team even took steps to ensure my newborn was not being disturbed during each part of the process; which in my experience is not something you come across very often. Not only did I witness his ENTIRE crew working very hard (taking few breaks), but Jeff, the supervisor, also came out daily to conduct spot checks and asked I walk with him in order to explain each part of the process to ensure I was properly informed. Their work was also very well done and initially I was worried the completed work wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing. I have to admit, the way Jeff and his crew did the waterproofing job made it appear as though it was all part of the landscaping plan for the house. They even ensured the materials they used matched the exterior or my home as well as the trim. At the completion of the job, I also received a follow up visit from Jeff and Chelsea to ensure everything was completed to his standards. Following his inspection, he determined he didn't like how a particular portion of the job looked and later came out to add more rock in order to make the look of the landscaping more full and also trimmed one of the pipes to better conceal it. Should my wife and I move and purchase another home or even need anything additional with our current home, I will 100% be calling Foundation Masters. Paying a little more than 'the other guys' was beyond worth it in my book as the general 'headache' associated with home projects was nonexistent. In my eyes that alone is worth it! To Jeff and his team, thank you very much for such a professional, informative, and seamless experience!
