After 6 months of little to no supervision, little to no progress, multiple problems, we asked to terminate our contract with Adam Wilson Custom Homes. Mr. Wilson came to our home on 12/15/2014 with a termination agreement in hand and said once we sign it, he would reimburse us the overage of $72,000 that had not been spent to date. We had already paid Adam Wilson Custom Homes $111,779.28. In the termination agreement, there was a clause stating Adam Wilson Custom Homes would not be responsible for work past or future work, but when I asked about this, he said "if you find something that needs to be fixed, I'm happy to fix it. I understand we are terminating our agreement before any inspections have been done."
When we hired our new contractor and asked the engineer (the same engineer hired by Adam Wilson) to inspect the roof and sign off on it, his only comment was, "tear the @#$% thing down!"
A few weeks later, I asked the architect to come out to look at the roof and she did. She was not only in agreement with the engineer (that the roof was not structurally sound), it was not built to the plans. She called and wrote a letter to Adam Wilson pointing these issues out. Mr Wilson replied to the architect by telling her that he was no longer responsible for any work done on the home since we signed the termination agreement. The cost to replace the roof is $41,000.
Please see photos of his work

Relying solely on communication via telephone and Internet, it is extremely important that I work with a team of professionals who I trust to act as my eyes and ears in San Antonio, as I buy a home sight-unseen. From my initial phone conversation with Youlanda at A-1 Engineering , I was impressed and felt at ease. Youlanda is extremely knowledgable, and answered all of my questions in layperson's terms. I explained that I currently live overseas and needed to schedule the appointment to coincide with a simultaneous home inspection, as well as my Realtor's schedule, and she did so without a problem. I forwarded A-1 Engineering copies of elevations that detailed previous work performed by an independent structural engineering company on the home's foundation so that the new inspection could be compared to the prior work. Once I had confirmed that the purchase contract was finalized, I paid for the inspection over the Internet with a credit card over a secure webpage, which I found to be an easy process that took less than 5 minutes. According to my Realtor, the licensed professional structural engineer, Moises Cruz, arrived on time and spent several hours thoroughly inspecting the property for any concerns related to the foundation. Two days later I received a comprehensive report, written in professional, yet understandable language which detailed Mr. Cruz's findings. Aside from A-1 Engineering's excellent customer service, expertise, and overall professionalism, I was dually impressed by the report itself. As a layperson knowing "nothing" about foundations, soil, or structural engineering, Mr. Cruz's report was well-written, and laid out in a clear and concise fashion. The report included an executive summary, description, observations, discussion, opinion of probable causes, and closing -- all explained in a way that I could easily understand. Additionally, I am very grateful for the candid objectivity displayed in his report. Any deficiencies observed by Mr. Cruz in the report were substantiated by further detailed explanation, as well as a description as to how the current deficiency may have occurred, and its future ramifications to a potential buyer. After reading and analyzing the report, I called A-1 Engineering to ask a few questions and to confirm my assumptions. Youlanda had mentioned to me that Mr. Cruz was expecting my call, and had asked her to forward my call to him. When Mr. Cruz answered, he took the time to answer all of my questions, and he confirmed my assumptions without bias. After I explained how steep the structural engineering learning curve was for me, and that I had been trying to give myself a crash course, he suggested two websites to further my education: the USDA website soil report tool, so that I could examine the type of soil existing in areas I am interested in, as well as the San Antonio building permit search, so that I can research foundation or other work that seller's may claim has been completed on a property. A-1 Engineering -- especially Moises Cruz and Youlanda, have created a business relationship with me based on trust. They have made me feel at ease, eliminating any additional stress from an already stressful, long-distance, buying situation. I commend them for their professionalism and customer service, and I will be using them for my next inspection. I definitely recommend them to anyone needing a structural engineer to inspect a property during a 10-day option period or for a second opinion on prior foundation/structural work done on a property. Overall, A-1 Engineering has saved me from buying a virtual "money pit" of a home. Without Mr. Cruz's detailed report, I would not have had the objective information to perform my due diligence and decide that this particular property was not suitable for my family."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/san-antonio/a-1-engineering-reviews-6348043.htm"},"position":10}]}

"Working with Groundworks was wonderful from start to finish. It began with their sales team, Rich G, ensuring my old, quirky home had a customized and thorough solution, phased out to make the job more approachable. Rich took the time to understand my goals for the project and the nuances of my house even though that took significant time and multiple trips to my home. The installation crew (Jose N., Phil S., Diego A.) was professional, prompt and answered ALL of my questions. Their communication kept me informed every step of the way! When the job was completed, it looked like they had never been here - the yard and landscaping look untouched. I would definitely recommend Groundworks for anyone who needs to have their foundation worked on!"

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Leon Valley, TX
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
