Sam arrived promptly at 8:30 am to complete the foundation inspection. He explained his findings before leaving to produce the report. As promised the report was delivered the same day and included recommendations for trusted companies to complete the work.

In trying to refinance my house, the mortgage company wanted a structural inspection. I hadn't obtained a structural engineer for years and I had no idea what we included or what the cost of an inspection should be. As I didn't THINK there were any structural issues with my property, I really didn't know for sure. AND, what would they be looking for? I spent a couple of hours at least trying to figure out what to expect and what I needed to do to prepare for a dreaded inspection. My brother tried to reassure me that I probably didn't have any issues to worry about - and he should know. He's been a remodeling contractor for the past 25 years! However, I was worried because of the small cracks that had appeared at the tops of several of my windows and above at least one door frame. Two days before FIF was to arrive two very small cracks showed up running perpendicular to the beam and wall. I had already fixed all the cracks in the house (almost assuredly from settling). But these TWO I couldn't just ignore (as my brother had suggested). So, I fixed them and pained the entire two walls upon which they appeared. I must say, I did a good job, too! Anshul from FIF showed up on time. He was very polite and even offered to take off his shoes! I assured him that he needn't take his shoes off. He was very professional and got right to work on the inspection. In a short time (less than an hour), he'd essentially completed his inspection. He invited me outside so that I could see what he was going to suggest for improvements but that didn't rise to the level that needed to be cited on the official report. His suggestions included adding cement diverters/extensions to gutter downspouts and sloping the dirt/lawn away from the house more. That was it! My house did not have any structural issues! I got the report the following day and I was able to close on time! I would not hesitate a moment in hiring FIF again! I also recommend it to anyone who needs a competent engineering inspection at a reasonable cost.

Charged me $1950 for plans on a 1680 sq ft house. All he did was the 20 by 20 garage of that house. When I asked about the rest of the house he said he didn t know anything about it. Yet the rest of the house was on his drawings sent back to me just not the engineering info needed for the building permit. I told him I need the roof and floor joists for the rest of the house. He refused the first two times I asked. Finally he did it but said he didn t bid for that. So he either lied to me, forgot, or really would have charged $1950 just to do a 20 by 20 garage. Either way I would not recommend FIF engineering.

Fast respond, on time and very clear instructions. Because of the deadline I have ask Sam for the next day report and he kept his promised. Not just the report that I got I also have the clear instruction what to do to fix them. Best service...

My roof rafters were separating from ridge beam. Engineer Sam Jawhary inspected my attic, foundation and overall structure. A detailed plan was developed to address all issues. I couldn’t be happier with the result, customer service and overall experience.

Bijay and his team are great. Very professional, on time and will answer all your questions before, during and after the job is done. My report was very thorough and definitely saved me a ton of money before a foundation company came out. I couldn't recommend them more

He evaluated the problem we were having and came up with a solution. Put us in touch with someone to do the work. The work has been done and time will tell if it is effective. Highly recommend.

Bijay of FIF Engineering went the extra mile to help me when my contractor dropped the ball on some paperwork I had to have for my HOA in order to begin a renovation that was on a tight timeline. I called him first thing on a Friday morning and not only did he answer before 8 am, he booked an appointment to view the property and make an assessment before noon. It was a holiday weekend with all other offices closed on Monday, and he got me the paperwork I desperately needed on Sunday! He was helpful in making small revisions to the plans at no extra charge and even followed up a few weeks later to be sure I had everything I needed. Bijay is kind, punctual, an excellent communicator, and very knowledgeable. I will be using him exclusively for all of my structural engineering needs moving forward. Highly recommend!
