I had an incredible experience with RSH Engineering. I needed a foundation inspection done quickly for a real estate transaction, and they delivered professional, detailed, and highly reliable service. Their turnaround time was unbelievable less than 24 hours from scheduling to receiving the full engineered report.The inspector was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The report was well-organized, easy to understand, and provided exactly what I needed to keep the process moving.I highly recommend RSH Engineering to anyone needing a fast, accurate, and professional structural evaluation. Truly outstanding service!

I believe in that the best referrals come from word of mouth. My initial experience with RSH Engineering and Mathew Joseph goes back more than 20 years. In 2001, my parents built a house, and RSH Engineering was there from the beginning. From the concrete slab, framing, wiring, and all the steps. He is very detail oriented and his report helped my parents ensure the house they built is up to code and structurally sound. I hate to think where my parents would be if we had not used his services then.In 2025, my wife and I are purchasing our first home. I called him and left a message. He returned my call expeditiously, and was able to set up the home inspection. He recommended certain services due to the age of the house. I decided to go through with all his options. I will continue to use his services in the future for any real estate projects or future

If you have extra cash available and are planning to build a homeespecially with a builder you are unsure aboutI highly recommend hiring a reputable structural engineering company like RSHEngineering to inspect your property from start to finish.Throughout the entire process, the team at RSHEngineering was communicative, professional, and thorough in their inspections. They provided detailed reports along with clear recommendations to address any issues they identified.While it may initially seem expensive or even excessive to involve a structural engineer during the construction process, it can truly make the difference between having a safe, livable home and facing serious structural concerns.I have personally built two homes - one with a structural engineering inspection and one without. The difference was significant. The home built without an inspection had numerous issues. For instance, the builder failed to measure and pour the correct amount of concrete at the slab corner of the house and did not inform me of the mistake. I discovered the issue myself during a random visit to inspect the property (see attached photos). This is exactly the type of problem a structural engineer is there to prevent or, at a minimum, to properly evaluate and provide sound recommendations for repair rather than relying on a temporary fix from a builder who did not get it right the first time.I dont mean to sound like a broken record but in todays environment, where some companies cut corners to save money, no pun intended, it makes sense to invest a little extra upfront and hire a structural engineer to protect what is likely one of the largest investments of your life.
