This made our home-buying process extremely less stressful! When I came out to check on the site - the engineer was very helpful, listened and was informative.

Considering some of the rates we were quoted, this was the best price hands down in the Houston area. I would recommend to anyone who is looking at a well tailored, attentive and great priced engineer!

I can't believe Charlie doesn't already have hundreds of five star reviews, because he certainly…read moredeserves them. I hired him to inspect my house after having been flooded in 4 feet of water for two weeks by Harvey. Charlie is thorough, knowledgable, responsible, and extremely patient in answering all my questions and explaining to me the nuisances of building methods. Beside his expert knowledge, I am most impressed by his passion for homes and structures. He really appreciates the homeowners' desire to understand what is happening to their homes and has the patience and ability to explain the technicals so that any homeowner could understand. It took a while to get his availability, but he was definitely worth the wait! I am so glad to have his expert knowledge on my side during this rebuild.

I hired Foresight for both a full home inspection and a separate engineering foundation evaluation…read morefor a first-time home purchase. I was very impressed with Mr. Varma and the quality of his work. Mr. Varma's significant education, credentialing, and years of experience is the reason I chose Foresight. He is a licensed Professional Structural Engineer with a bachelors and master's in civil engineering, and something like 20 different industry licenses/credentials. The seller had already obtained a professional pre-listing inspection a couple of months earlier, which gave me an unusual opportunity to compare two inspections of the same house. The seller's inspection was competent and caught a number of real issues, but placing the two reports side by side made it obvious how much more detailed and technically specific Mr. Varma's work was. The attic was the clearest example. The prior report documented the basic framing and insulation. Mr. Varma went considerably further, identifying undersized purlins, insufficient bracing and collar ties contributing to visible roof and sheathing sag, and a deficient ridge-board configuration. That was representative of his work overall. He would identify a problem, then explain what was wrong with it and why it mattered. Having the general inspection and a separate engineering foundation evaluation done in the same visit was a real convenience during a limited option period. For the foundation report, he performed a micro-elevation survey across the first floor. He measured as much as 1.8 inches of variation, but he also weighed the absence of adverse symptoms, the fairly even door reveals, and the properly operating doors. His conclusion was that the slab had likely been poured somewhat unlevel and settled some over its 43 years, but was still performing as intended and did not require repair. He separately identified localized rusted rebar causing concrete popping and recommended a specific repair. Mr. Varma encouraged us to attend, arrived about 30 minutes early, and was already working when I got there. Throughout the inspection he pointed things out, explained why they were deficiencies, distinguished material issues from cosmetic ones, and gave us practical advice on the minor items we could reasonably handle ourselves. He explained, for instance, that garage-door safety sensors mounted too high can allow a small child or pet to pass beneath the beam without stopping a closing door. One small detail in the report stuck with me as a good indication of his experience. He identified some unusual exterior trim damage specifically as squirrel damage. I wondered how he could possibly know that, especially since there were no squirrels around at the time. I looked up images of squirrel damage to houses afterward, and it looked exactly like the damage that he photographed. He was professional and courteous throughout and delivered both reports within roughly 36 hours, despite leaving the country the following morning. I appreciated that given our option-period deadline. I just have one small constructive criticism; the report formatting could be cleaned up a little. The reports pack in a lot of information, and they'd be easier to work through with a few changes: a table of contents that indicates where to find specific sections, more spacing between the sections (or larger headers for each section), and some different font color choices...a lot of text was in bright red which was a little difficult to read for me. I wanted an inspector who would catch the things most inspectors wouldn't even know to look for, explain what actually mattered, and give me enough to make an informed decision. Mr. Varma did exactly that. Beyond that, the thoroughness, detail, and significant technical expertise reflected in his reports will give me solid grounds to negotiate a lower purchase price; I'm confident I'll be able to more than recoup the reasonable cost of the inspections because of his findings. I would absolutely use Foresight again and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I have been working with Aran and Franklin for 3.5 years. Now it is my turn to critique their work…read moreand give you my opinion of this company. My first two houses with them went pretty smooth. I had an inspector named Matt. He was pretty easy to work with. For the third house they had fired Matt (I was later told he wasn't doing his job) and sent in Rudy to straighten out their big mess that they let Matt create. Rudy has the personality of a fence post, nice kid, but he was not a diplomat and they needed Henry Kissinger to clean up what Matt was allowing. I should have left them after the first house with Rudy. He will measure your nail spacing, he will argue with you over a 2.5" nail and the only nail you can buy is a 2.25". Just split hairs with me every time he came on my job. He finally quit. Don't blame him. The main office is a mess. I wanted to develop a two story for my company and AF took 8 months to do it. I missed the whole spring selling season and had to finish the house in 4 months of 98 degrees. I'm 65. I had the plans in my court for about a month while I worked with the draftsperson, but the other 7 months was me begging AF to get my project finished. My coordinator was Estella. She is incompetent. She will never acknowledge an email you send her, even if you ask her to do so. She will never move your project unless you are pestering her. Terrible. She would work for my company for a week and gone!! The city of Galveston requires two exit doors on the house. AF knows this and they sent me out the door with one exit door. It did not get caught at the city at plan approval, but did at final inspection. I put a door in the side of the house which was the only place it could go. Chandra tried to tell me I should have come back to them to design the door. I was pissed. YOU let me go out the door with plans that don't comply with the city requirements and you are going to tell me what I should have done. Their GM is David Franklin. He is Chandra's executioner and he will deliver the bad news that you have to tear something off and rebuild it. Their plans consist of 30 pages of fine print that cover every possible situation even if it does not apply to your house. They even include some multi-family specifications and you have to wade through 30 pages of fine print and decide what applies to you and what doesn't and if you get it wrong and you build it wrong, YOU are going to tear it off and you are going to pay for it. They will email you the prints, no discussion about we designed it this way - NONE. They already have your money, so they don't care about you once they deliver the prints to you. YOU are on your own for the most part and if you have a problem. They are closed from 12-1 every day for lunch and if Dmitri is off on Friday he will have lots to do on Monday and he won't call you back until Tuesday. It does not matter if you have $100/hr of trades standing there to attack a problem you encountered. The engineer is unavailable and it might be 2 or 3 days before they get back to you. In the meantime, you have made a decision, and it better be right, because you will tear it out if they do not like it. Happened to me several times and David will tell you "You do our way and we will approve it, you do it your way and we won't". I cannot think of a professional word to describe that guy. I can think of some 4 letter words. I just finished my last house with them and the reason I am expressing my opinion in this review. I called for the final inspection on a half million $ house and it took me 3 weeks get them to give me the paperwork. It doesn't matter if you have a closing to make. Their new inspector is Carlos and Carlos would not give me answers as to what two small items I needed to address because he was not on the clock. He really wouldn't do anything for me unless he was on the clock. In summary, and all of this entire review is my opinion, these people care only about protecting their liability and you will have to pay extra for it. They will not give you an orientation when you get your plans about how they designed it. That is for you to figure out. Their list of inspections is terrible. You'll have to figure out how to do it right. They have taken way too long on all of my projects. If it wasn't for Tim and Rachel, I would give them a 0 if it was an option. They are the only two that care. Chandra is off opening offices in Florida and she can't even run the office she has in Texas City. Don't be fooled by the cheap price. It will cost you lots in the long run and you won't sleep cause you are just so pissed about your relationship with your engineer that you hired to work for you. My last email to Chandra was never responded to. She's not responding to me because she knows she will never see any of my money again !!! The truth is when you hire them, you work for them, and don't forget it !!! All I can say is RUN.
