"I was highly impressed with Systematic Engineering. Jennifer from their main office was very cordial and friendly in setting up my appointment.

"Chris Merrill was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was quick, responsive and incredibly helpful during a difficult situation while selling our home. My family and I cannot recommend his services and wealth of knowledge enough. Iâ m glad we had the opportunity to meet him and use his services!"
"DFC is a really solid company who puts quality in all of their work. They really assisted us in a bind because the overhead cabinet started to fall of the wall. Apparently the people who renovated the kitchen during the house flip, they used the incorrect screws. DFC came to our rescue and rehung the cabinet and used the proper screws. My anxiety kicked in and I figured if the house flippers had hung that cabinet with the wrong screw, all of these were probably hung improperly too. I spoke to Brian about a renovation and they worked with us on every detail and aspect of our kitchen. Besides our bathroom, which was renovated in 2019, the kitchen is our favorite room in the house. They installed recessed lighting because the kitchen doesn't get much light because the back of the home faces the woods. This was nice because other contractors refused to installed recessed lighting in popcorn ceilings. They added an additional cabinet and pantry to maximize storage, previously that wall had been empty, which I am not a fan of wasted or empty space. They also made a custom shelf that is just so beautiful, it looks like something out of a magazine. Brian, Lillian, and team truly did a remarkable job in turning our drab and inefficient kitchen into a place anyone would love to cook. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for their overall home renovations."

For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.
A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one.

While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
