Why are you qualified?
I have been an engineer for 12 years and achieved my PE license in 2019. I have a mechanical engineering bachelor's degree from Mizzou, an industrial engineering master's degree from Texas Tech, and have taken hours upon hours of continuous education credits toward residential engineering topics that give me the confidence I need to help clients with their needs. I have my Certificate of Authority from the State of Missouri to conduct Engineering Business in the state, and also have professional liability insurance. Documents can be available upon request.
Why do I need you?
In a practical sense, most everything I do can be looked up online and any homeowner can educate themselves on the topics I talk about. I routinely have clients who are way more versed in their specific issue than I am due to their own research since, usually, the issues have been a pain for them for some time.
I can help due to the aforementioned license and certification - I can approve foundations that were thought to have issues and can assist in forming repairs that need approval for municipalities. I also believe that my experience and education can provide extra ideas and solutions that add value to any situation.
How much do you cost?
While all costs are negotiable, my base cost for any simple inspection or general consultation is $500. This is for residential, manufactured, or alumiconn inspections. I also encourage all clients to shop around for engineering services, as I do truly believe I am the best value engineering firm in St. Louis.
How long will this take?
Simple engineering reports can be sent back within 1-2 days and I usually visit clients on Tuesdays. Feel free to call for up-to-date scheduling.
