General Experience and Professionalism
Reviews highlight contrasting experiences with the company's professionalism, with one reviewer expressing frustration with the company's unprofessional behavior, while another reviewer praised the company as one of the leading civil engineering firms in the area.
Communication and Response Time
One reviewer experienced a significant delay in getting a response from the company, which impacted their commercial project. The company blamed the delay on a message service, but the reviewer believed this was an excuse. In contrast, another reviewer did not mention any communication issues.
Business Practices
The same reviewer who experienced delays and poor communication also felt that the company engaged in shady business practices. Specifically, the company requested a new agreement to be signed upfront before providing plans for a job that had already been paid for in full. The reviewer perceived this as unprofessional and unfair.
