Report
These idiots cost us 3 days of construction time because they changed their foundation concrete mix design during the day of pour, and we had to send back 30 CUYD of concrete that was already prepared by Calportland. Wasted time and money, and we will be suing if we don't get compensated for your mistake. Talking to their sensitive manager helmand on the phone went like this "you're yelling at me, stop yelling at me, I won't talk to you." You're damn right I'm yelling, you sensitive idiot, you cost us time and money, and expect litigation if you don't own up to your mistakes and compensate. Are you even an engineer?

We used HTK Structural Engineers to remodel our home and couldn't be happier with them. The engineer worked with the architect and contractor to really simplify our design. We ended up finishing ahead of schedule and saved money!
