MLAW Engineers works closely with its sister company, MLA Labs, Inc., the premier leader in Central Texas soils expertise. MLA Labs, Inc. has drilled over 150,000 borings in Central Texas, providing 51 years of data on the most expansive and highest risk soils in the nation! MLA Labs, Inc. offers a full range of construction materials testing, residential lot fill testing (79 G), soils analysis, and geotechnical services.
Attention to detail during the design phase means fewer delays, allowing a shorter construction schedule. A properly engineered structure is built more efficiently with less material waste. The MLAW team can size selected wood or steel structural members, design the entire framed structure, or consult with you to achieve your goals.
The backbone of any building lies in the engineering of its foundation and structure. The enduring strength and integrity of many homes and commercial buildings in Texas lay in over 51 years of superior engineering by MLAW Engineers. MLAW Engineers relies upon a soils report, resulting in site-specific foundation designs that are responsive to the site conditions and client expectations. The diverse soil conditions in Texas necessitate in-depth soil analysis, performed by a Geotechnical Engineering firm, such as MLA Labs, Inc.
MLAW's team approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client and project. Clear communication of project scope and requirements are developed to ensure all expectations can be met on schedule and within budget. This one-stop, team-based approach creates a seamless transition from project conception to completion. If you have already had your project designed and are seeking a second opinion, MLAW can review those plans with value engineering in mind.

Worst law office around, went to get my divorce papers. And left with a house design?!

We had revisions to the engineered plans for our addition foundation made that ended up not being correct. The materials were purchased in reliance on the plans but ended up being too short. We were forced to reorder certain materials due to this error. Upon bringing it up with the firm, I was told that in spite of this error, the fine print absolved them of responsibility and they would not reimburse me for the added expenses we incurred due to the error.

I would have expected a company whose clients rely on their specialized expertise to be responsible and help make things right- not letting the customer bear the cost of the professional's mistake.

BE WARE: This company lies, cheats and steals to get ahead. I worked for the drilling department under Shauna (she's a snake) as my supervisor. She DID NOT inform me a class B CDL is required to drive the drill rigs at my interview and I took the job at $14hr. A year into my job I found out from a CDL instructor that ANY vehicle with air brakes requires this license.

I told Shauna about this and she told me to keep quiet. On October 29,2019 I flipped and rolled a rig between Fredericksburg and Stonewall Texas. I should have been driving the beautiful F250 (drillers get to drive the chaser trucks as a reward for bein a driller but they are the ones that have CDL licenses!?) following but that's not how it works at MLA.

I suffered broken ribs, took 23 staples to close my head, a blood transfusion, etc. Almost a year later, I now suffer from traumatic brain injury, blackouts, severe headaches, insomnia, lost 20lbs and other issues due to their lack of care, respect or dignity for helpers. Even though THEY lied, broke the law and I almost lost my life (now might suffer for the rest of my life), I can't sue them due to they are covered by WORKMENS COMP!? I was also fired under false claims by MLA and yet they still get away with their actions. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Not very helpful. Wife and I were interested in foundation plans for our 7000 sq ft house. They gave us price and never got back to me about questions we had. I took 3 tries for someone to try to answer my questions. Then they said the engineer would call me back, its been 1 week and still no response. Over priced and bad service overall.
