"Mr. James hired me to provide structural design drawings and calculations for him to construct a roof over an existing wooden deck. In the process, I prepared the plans and did all the corrections that he wants me corrected; and even prepared revisions that are not on the original scope. This should have triggered an additional consulting charges but I did not charge him any. Another problem arises when he asks me to prepare a "site plan." A scope not indicated in the contract as I am only preparing structural design. I told him that site plan is not included in the Proposal, but he was very combatant. He wrote a review in Angi's twisting all the good things that I have done to him. In as much that I wanted to satisfy my clients, I did prepare and submitted the "site plan" but keeps in harassing me despite of all engineering documents required to apply for a building permit were submitted. He keeps harassing me, and he wanted a full refund. He just stopped harassing me when I told him that I would take him to court as I have professional insurance that I can use to finance a lawsuit for doing those harassment. I can forgive him, but I hope karma will not get him. Please let me know if you needed the Proposal for this project to check the veracity."

"I was hired by Mr. Lavake to perform a visual site visit a property (vacant lot) and take pictures and send it to Mr. Lavake for $400. It is true that I was late but not for an hour; though, I contacted him three hours before the site visit to let him know that I might be running late -- so I was late but not for more than 30 minutes. He was somewhere in Texas at that time. Anyway, soon as I arrived at the site, I took a lot of pictures and sent them to him. Also, he asked me for a video call and that is what I do, have a video call and explained the vacant lot condition while we were doing the video call -- all parts and angles of the vacant lot was covered. The vacant lot is the proposed location of where a manufactured building will be set up, and it is on top of hill 50-75 feet high in a 60 degrees slope. I stayed there for more than 3 hours as he was asking a lot of things. After the site visit, he frequently communicated with me and I worked for him for more than a month, giving him technical advice, and I recommended that he needs to hire several engineers that he may spend an initial amount of at least $15,000 to hire a surveyor, geotechnical engineer, architect, electrical, mechanical, and a structural/civil engineer. This is to develop or prepare profile surveys, sub-surface (earth characteristics survey, architectural plan and structural and civil plan. I am not aware that he is expecting me to prepare and submit a feasibility assessment/study to design a foundation without a geotechnical (sub-surface) study, survey works and other engineering disciplines, including site visit for $400. Feasibility studies cost a lot of money that involves several engineers. When he started calling architects and builders and instructed me to coordinate with them; I told him that I will submit a Proposal to cover those professional services, after all; I have been rendering consultation services for more than a month already for free. He ignored my recommendations, so I left him. I do not intend to work more on this project for free. The next thing I know is he writes comments on Angi's. Lastly, my Proposal was $500 for a site visit and he just paid me $400. Please let me know if you needed to see the Proposal to check the veracity of the facts."

"S.S. hired me to prepare a structural design of the required beam that she needs for the renovation of her two-story house that he is trying to renovate. I told her that $500 will be charged to evaluate the structural stability of the structure. So after the structural visit, I found out that there are 4 beams that are needed to design. So, I submitted a Proposal to prepare and submit a structural drawings and structural calculations for $1,200 signed and bear my seal. She wants $500 for those professional engineering services. I find her offer unreasonable, so I did not provide her with the professional engineering services."
