I received three quotes from structural engineers for required permit drawings to replace a basement retaining wall. They were significantly less and their quality and professionalism was very high - providing me with a great value. I would highly recommend them and, if needed, I will use them in the future.

Charlie was great. I knew from the start it would be a great experience. He called within 5 minutes of me hitting submit on Home Advisor; I told him what I needed and he said he would work around our schedule; he was prompt, professional, and a wonderful person to work with. We gave him the paperwork, he did the inspection and provided the report quickly. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family!

Mr. Fields was very responsive to my need tor a quick report as I had put a contract to buy the house in question. He ruled out the structural concerns, but found the subtle problem related to dampness in the basement. As a result of his inspection, I decided not to proceed with the purchase. He saved me from an expensive mistake..

The structural engineer has been very down to earth and yet also very detail oriented while working with me as a homeowner. He offered to be present during the demolition stage of a wall in case of any structural integrity questions. He will help verify that the wall indeed is not weight bearing.
