We were purchasing a home and during the inspection a very expensive structural issue was…read morediscovered. The seller agreed to fix and hire a licensed contractor for the repairs. 6 Days before closing the seller's contractor performs the repairs. I arrive at the job site 90 minutes after scheduled start to review the progress and no one is at the site. To my surprised, there are a few cosmetic repairs to hide the damage and other locations no work was even performed. I took pictures, a video and contacted my agent to ask what's going on. Late that evening I'm informed the seller and their contractor are saying all repairs are complete. 5 Days before closing, I'm scrambling for an experienced and licensed structural engineer to review the work performed and advise if repairs resolved structural issue. After spending half a day googling, researching reviews and calling engineers, I come across Bob. Bob was already booked out till mid afternoon Friday (We are closing Monday). So I schedule an appointment. Thursday morning, I reach out to Bob to see to see if there was anyway possible, if he could squeeze us in today. Lucky for us he had a cancellation and was able to make it out early afternoon. Bob arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule and had a very professional demeanor. Our agent and the sellers agent was on-site while Bob performed the inspection and handled the bombardment of questions from the seller agent like an experienced pro. Bob quickly assessed that the repairs were cosmetic and did not resolve the structural issue. He was able to communicate in common language what was needed to properly repair the problem and provided a written report a couple days later. From start to finish our experience with Bob has been fantastic and would highly recommend. FYI: The bids coming from qualified contractors to repair the structural problems are exceeding 20k. Thank you Bob for saving us from a nightmare.

Bitarchitects provided a prompt response, prompt call phone consultation & next steps. Within 1 week of contact I was able to discuss my concerns, the engineer completed a thorough walk through of my home & gave me ample amount of time view discuss my concerns. More importantly they didn't drag out the walkthrough for hours!! I appreciate the honest responses to help distinguish between normal settlement & items that are concerning. I'm waiting on the written report (inspection was completed one business day before writing this review) to proceed with the fixes. I strongly urge spending time & money on an inspection from a structural engineer before spending $$$$ for repairs that aren't needed. Prior to contacting I had 2 vendors try to sell me solutions for problems I didn't have. The price I paid for the inspection literally saved me $$,$$$. My selection of Bitarchitects was because they heard my initial concern, were quick to provide service, & provided communication from initial inquiry to the day of service.

Terry Bitar and her team were great to work with every step of the project. They handled things large and small to successfully complete the project. It was easy to communicate with the team, both on big picture issues and on smaller logistical issues. Bitarchitects listened to us and provided us with options and expertise to navigate the task of structural reinforcements for our 100-year old DC home. I also appreciated that, in addition to talking through things, they neatly put things in writing so there was a clear documentation of the project. -- We had an urgent concern with a structural issue in our old house so we reached out to Bitarchitects based on their good reviews here. We received a prompt response and soon had an engineer evaluating our house. The engineer was thorough, helpful, and went above and beyond. He provided a lot of valuable insight both on site and then in a comprehensive written report. I also appreciate that Bitarchitects is able to help me find vendors to complete the work recommended in the engineering report. I have had a great experience from the start and would recommend Bitarchitects to other homeowners.

Despite those assurances, I never received either document. I was also charged $$$ for the initial visit. When I booked the appointment, I made it very clear that I would not agree to that kind of fee for a simple walkthrough of my property. Had I known that no meaningful work or deliverables would be provided, I would never have agreed to the charge. Since then, the contractor has been completely unresponsive--no report, no proposal, and no communication of any kind. The lack of follow‑through, the questionable billing practices, and the failure to provide the services they represented make this a deeply frustrating experience. I would strongly caution others to think twice before using this company.
