The interview
Who are you and what do you do?
Hi, my name is Jason, and I live in Texas, and I work as an engineer.
Why did you choose to hire RSH Engineering?
The reason I hired RSH Engineering was because of the reviews that I've heard from other people, the personal testimonies, and client reviews online. There wasn't much hesitation when it came to price because I was able to see what it was offered, and the price point made sense to me.
How did hiring Mathew benefit your home-buying process?
Hiring Mathew from RSH Engineering has benefited my home-buying process and my overall home by the wealth of knowledge that he brings and the coaching that he gave me while I was purchasing my home when it came to all code and aesthetic issues. With Mathew's coaching, I was able to find out key issues regarding the local code that my house was not compliant with.
What happened when you identified code violations missed by the city?
When he spoke to me and talked me through it, I was able to understand and fully dive deep into the code that was missed by the city inspectors, and was able to get it promptly fixed. He told me where to go to get those issues resolved when the builder and the inspector were not as willing to, but I was able to get everything resolved by the time I ended up purchasing my house.
How does RSH Engineering compare to regular home inspectors?
The experience with RSH engineering as opposed to regular home inspectors... way more knowledge that RSH brings to the table. Regular inspectors have knowledge about it, but they don't go into depth with code or in general engineering structural standpoints, they're not very knowledgeable as compared to RSH engineering.
What are the risks of not hiring a structural engineer for a home purchase?
I've heard numerous stories where others have bought a house without hiring an engineer, and they went with the regular inspectors and they missed a lot, and within a few months, they had many issues, many leaks, many foundational issues that have arose. Since I hired RSH engineering, I was able to find those key issues that are common in most new home purchases and get those rectified.
Was there anything that surprised you about the service?
Something that surprised me with my overall experience with Mathew was just the dedication and care that he gave to me as a client. He made sure I was well taken care of in regards to talking to my builder and the city inspectors. He gave me proper, thorough guideline to follow and thorough steps to take when any issues came my way as well.
