Get matched with top structural engineers in River Forest, IL

"Martin and Jake are the absolute best to work with. They were thorough, efficient, professional and so easy to work with for our basement structural work. They took time to explain what needed to be done, coordinated with different contractors (plumbing, electrical), and were able to complete our project on time while we were out of town for just a week(!!). I can't recommend Great Lakes Builders more - they were a pleasure to work with and we will absolutely be using them again for any future work we need. 5+ stars!"

"They did a good job. When I hired them, they gave me the list on what they were gonna do. The work was beautifully done."

"Thank goodness we found Faron & Associates, Inc. Our 97 year old home had structural problems that were out of the expertise of the 9 contractors that we had contacted. After explaining our dilemma to Home Advisor, they recommended Faron & Associates. Communication with Michael Faron was immediate. He returned our phone call the same day. We agreed to meet the next day and evaluate our problem. Mike arrived the next morning right on time and took measurements and pictures. He said that there were several ways to solve the problem and would prepare two alternative estimates. We received the estimates within the next week accompanied by a recommendation for contractors that could handle a very complex job. Mike was always available to answer questions and attended our meeting with the chosen contractor. Work was started within the week. Everything was done professionally and timely. The job turned out beyond our wildest expectations. The result was perfect and done start to finish in about 10 days with little disruption to our daily routine. Weâ ve already recommended Mike to a friend seeking a structural engineer. Thank you Michael Faron."

"Overall our experience with Idea was very good, but we did have a few hiccups along the way that should have been prevented.? For example, there was a overwrite issue while two architects were working on the same set of plans which resulted in some confusion during the building and bid processes.? Peter did meet and sometimes exceeded our expectations for our very tight schedule while staying on budget for the most part.? Peter was very helpful in resolving issues with contractors and other issues that came up on the building site.?Ideas' pricing for our project was very competitive although not the lowest bid we received.? A coordination error between architects resulted in a number of lost modifications that were not caught until the bid process was completed and building had begun.? As a result the contractors required additional fees beyond the original bid to accommodate these changes.? Additionally, our project was selected for a random audit by the city. The city found a few items that required changes in the plans which required a second permitting and zone process to be completed. Peter was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls throughout the process. Peter was always very punctual and generally well organized. During the audit process we were looped into the process far more than we should have been resulting in increased stress for us.? We later learned that the audit was check of the architect's self-permitting status and was not intended to delay or disrupt the progress of our project.? Unfortunately, Peter did not convey this to us in a clear manner and cause quite a bit of additional stress surrounding our project.? It was also a bit irritating that we were billed for time that Peter and his team spend on this audit.? The audit increased our overall architectural fees by approximately $2,000."

"Painting was not completed as desired. Many incomplete areas with paint splashes and spills on floor (the latter was cleaned up by their cleaning crew when I complained). Painter was let go and several others were asked to complete the work but none did a great job and still many areas not completed. I stopped the process and will finish it myself.
