A good firm will hAve all engineering cal done and engineers on staff.

You will probably have some engineering costs to develop a site plan and construction costs to build/power your sign.Jim.

Helping a buddy look for a structural engineer in the Atlanta/Metro Atlanta area.Available quickly and affordable are key for this situation.appreciate the referral...kyle

We do own a second property which is a rental to a family member.We're mostly interested in rentals/buy and hold, but a rehab/flip would be interesting if we could find the right deal or partner with others.By day my wife is an engineer, and I'm a safety manager for a very large speciality trade contractor.  

It seemed really complete, I am thinking not doing a second inspection, but instead paying a structural engineer, plumber and contractor to get quotes on the repairs suggested.

You would also need to hire an architect and engineering team to design the units and layout the site design.

This is what I do being an engineer.

I'm in your neck of the woods, Laguna Niguel, and hang out in Aliso Viejo a lot (only sizable and nicer town center around town :) I am also a software engineer working full time in San Diego.

I would say foundations can't be determined without a contractor and sometimes even a structural engineer.

I currently work as a Software Build Engineer, along with running/operating a machining business with my husband.
