Robison Engineering recently helped me complete all the State of Nevada requirements to secure water rights on my property. The service I received was outstanding! Nathan and Marcie responded immediately to all my concerns, were highly professional, and knowledgable about the process. The value I received for my dollar was better than expected. All in all, a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone needing this type of professional service.

When it comes to engineering, make sure you do your research. This company is run by a bunch of uneducated college kids that don't know what they're doing. Plan on waiting forever to get your design, spend a ton of time dealing with the building department because the plans are incomplete or wrong, and then find out your contractor is going to have a nightmare of a time building from their plans. Luckily I hired an experienced contractor that was able to take their design as a suggestion and fill in all of the missing elements that would have actually resulted in life safety issues in the future. Sure they were cheap and the owner flashes a fancy smile, but don't let that fool you. I don't understand how this place is in business or how the county or board of engineers hasn't shut them down. DO NOT USE THEIR ENGINEERING SERVICES!!

"Please take the time to contact us with whatever went wrong, "[Member Name Removed]" or at least let us know the project - If this is a sincere review, it is an anomaly which Robison Engineering would like to address and correct immediately. with approximately 10,000 separate engineering designs or surveyed maps under our belts, we usually get them right. Since this is a verbatim duplicate of a review posted on Google, it may be a disgruntled former employee or otherwise not a reflection of customer opinion. We strive to correct our own mistakes but can’t undo a grudge."

It went great! It was challenging to get an SE in our part of Tahoe and they were very professional and accommodating.

They were VERY much on point and professional, and the prints they created are extremely precise and well worth the $4,900, which was 30% of what the other firm charged. NOT A SINGLE ISSUE with Eric, Tawni or Nathan regarding mistakes, miscommunication or competence. HIGLY RECOMENDED!!

Nate and Eric were very responsive in designing the BMP plan, doing the survey and structural evaluations for the 2 homes I own in South Lake Tahoe. I relied on their evaluation for my real estate purchase and ended up buying it based on their evaluation. Currently they are working on getting a permit approved with the TRPA for structural adjoinment of the homes. I highly recommend them.

Could not be more satisfied with the outcome.  Nathan Robinson and Eric Joslin answered questions,  provided suggestions, alternatives and phone support when needed. (even on weekends)  
Cost for the services were very acceptable.  
We look forward toward doing more with this firm.  
Would not hesitate to recommend to all family, friends and whoever needs this type of service.

In a small retirement town here in Pahrump Nevada we are a town that caters most to the elderly. There is truly only limited things that the kid's have to do out here,  skateboarding is one of the things the kid's really love to do out here . They can all get together without someone judging them because of there tattoos or there hair color or there piercings. They like to stay athletic in a place where they can strive to accomplish there professional dreams as  one day pro  skaters ! These kid's needed lights to continue to skate. This park has a place where skaters, scooters and bikers get together and play show off there new tricks and develop a way to be social and   stay unplugged from an atmosphere of drugs , gambling . I  work at a church here in Pahrump  and I have been going to this skateboard park for over a year ministering the love of God to these kid's who have lost all hope in a world of people. They had tears in there eyes and disappointment in there attitudes as they described an urgency in getting some lights to a very dark place where they love to play. With almost nothing for them to do it was urgent . I saw a need for lights as I looked around the town most everywhere else had lights but that little place where these kid's go.

These kid's had been asking for lights at this park where they play for over ten years , as the town continued to spend money on other projects it seemed hopeless and was. I told them that with God all things are possible and that's when I meet  with this company!

They are an answer to prayer and I am blessed to have been led to them.

I pray that God will pour out the windows of Heaven upon this company and that all they do will turn to gold .

Amen!

He was very thorough, very friendly and very kind. He didn't charge me anything and surprised the hell out of me. He was so prompt in responding to my call and he was willing to do a pretty thorough inspection. This was not a thorough engineering thing, but he kind of looked everything over and let me know what he thought I should do with my foundation and it was really helpful be cause I wound up not having to do a very expensive repair. I can't just say enough good things about him. He was fabulous. It was a very positive experience.

Nathan was sensitive to our tight timelines and willing to meet when necessary... even with short notice.  He was incredibly creative with his suggestions and ideas concerning the loft space and making it a reality.  He was surprisingly responsive with his plans, calculations and the necessary reports to meet the City of Reno's demanding list of requirements.  On that note, he had in-depth knowledge of all of those requirements and helped us to circumvent issues that we would never have seen coming.  
Easy to write a stellar review... when the experience and the work were stellar.  Save yourself some research.  
Hire.

Remodeling our kitchen required a wall to be removed. Several contractors who looked at the wall could not say for certain whether or not it was a weight bearing.I called Robison engineering (recommended by a relative) for a definitive answer. Nathan was able to come the next morning.  He inspected the wall and answered all of my questions.  I am very satisfied with Robison Engineering and would not hesitate to use them again.

I contacted Robison Engineering and Nathan was able to come out the same day to evaluate my sagging roof. He was very punctual and professional and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. He provided the solution to my problem the very next day via email so that I could get bids from contractors. Overall I am very pleases with the services I was provided and would not hesitate to use this company again
