Beyond what I described above the only other thing I have to say is that we paid REE Construction's "Structural Engineer" $1,372 for drawings that our contractor did not use and really made no sense as to what was required to fix our house. This was a total waste of our money but I had to pay them or they threatened to take me to Small Claims Court.
Description of Work: We contacted REE Construction to repair damage to our house resulting from water getting under the house and the foundation sinking which caused cracking in the walls and ceiling and unlevel floors. REE Construction called in a structural engineer which we agreed to without asking what the charge would be for his services. The structural engineer spent 2 hours in our house and provided us with drawings and a bill for $1,372 which raised concern with us. I then asked REE to provide us with a detailed estimate for fixing our house. They provided a single page estimate which was such a large amount that our Banker required us to get 3 estimates to do the job before they would lend us the money to fix the house. The problem our banker had with REE's estimate was there was no detail given in the estimate on what they were going to do to fix problem. I asked REE to provide a detailed estimate and they told me that that was not their policy. The other two estimates we solicited from other companies in the area were detailed and provided good information on what needed to be done. With the help of our banker we selected a good contractor who did an excellent job for about 1/4th of what REE Construction bid.

Response from REE-Construction/First General Idaho
Our memory of the event is that [removed member name] ask for an opinion and a referral to a structural engineer. The engineer did not work for us nor were they specified to be used by us. They were a referral only and hired by M[removed member name]. We submitted a detailed line item bid to complete work, including rebuilding over spanned trusses, leveling floors, repairing and painting cracked interior drywall based on the findings of the licensed structural engineer. It appears that the [removed member name] chose to implement a different solution than the one outlined by the engineer. I am sorry they were unhappy with the services and charges to them by the engineer. We did no work for and made no billings to the [removed member name]. I hope it solved the problems that they had over the long run.
