Reliable Structural Engineers - Shock & Awe by parthiv shah

WARNING: Selecting the wrong engineer to evaluate and assess your building and any of its associated repairs could cost you hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in liquidated damages, change orders, and countless hours of frustration!

SOME STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT STRUCTURAL REPAIR ENGINEERS, CONTRACTORS & YOUR CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Take a few minutes to answer the single most important question which empowers you to select your engineers in order to protect your investment in your building asset… Dear Friend and Fellow Building Owner Professional, Thanks for taking a few minutes to read this. I am confident you’ll be glad you did. Structural repairs are often the last thing building owners and property managers think about until it’s too late– yet it’s one of the first things the end user will notice if left unaddressed. When you ask the right questions, you can avoid many problems and pitfalls which occur when you select the wrong structural engineer for your job. While others who don’t bother to answer this simple question falter and fail – helplessly watching their construction schedule go to hell in a handbasket and lose confidence in their contractors... while liquidated damages pile up and the overall profitability of their project plummets. All of this can be avoided. But common sense is less often common practice. Why do so few ask this obvious question? Well, once upon a time, if you were willing to work hard, be friendly with your clients, show up and do a good job – you could be in business. You would do well. Everyone would be happy. But all that has changed. Those days are gone. Today competition is fierce. Margins are slim. Everyone is trying to do more with less, and get away with doing the bare minimum. Now, technology makes it possible for any “business” or fly-by-night contractor to reach more people – more often – in a shorter time – with lower cost than ever. Technology can be a double-edged sword. Anyone can provide you a quote for repair work for your building. But is it the right scope of work for your building? Is it right for your exit strategy? If you have a building you will be selling in the next 5-year timeframe, you don’t want to do a repair that will last 50 years when there’s a more reasonable option that will last 10 to 15 years. Likewise, if you have a building asset that you will own for virtual perpetuity, you don’t want the 15 to 20 year fix, when the 50 year repairs are only 20 percent more in cost. That’s where the real value of our advice comes into focus.

My name is Bob Mason, P.E.. You may not know me yet – I’m the CEO and founder of Reliable Structural Engineers LLC. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s premier structural engineering and consulting provider since 2015. I’ve seen what can happen when an unqualified contractor bids the job to sell you something and how “marketing” can conceal the truth... But used properly – to highlight portfolio of jobs all over mid-Atlantic region and beyond... jobs which have established us as the preeminent structural engineering provider for general contractors, architects, and building owners... It can be a powerful tool to separate those who can be relied upon to deliver from the smoke and mirrors marketing tactics of less capable engineers and contractors. So before you let any repair contractor or other engineer on your project... Answer This One Easy Question and You’re Already 90% of the Way Toward Getting Your Building Evaluated Properly... Don’t allow any engineer to design or contractor to bid your job until you can affirmatively answer “Does this contractor actually care, and do they know what they’re doing?” Before you even set any initial appointment to meet with an engineer or contractor – there are things they can do to stand apart. To make you feel welcome. Acknowledged. Appreciated. Giving us a call or sending us an email about your building is a great decision. Reliable Structural Engineers LLC is different, and we want to show you how. Selecting the right structural engineering firm can be a headache. No one relishes taking the time to lay out a plan for what sometimes happens to be an afterthought. Yet not taking this important step exposes you to pain of another kind. You know what happens if you do not select the right engineering consultant. You know how quickly a building asset can go south. You know the costs if the job is not evaluated correctly and doesn’t get installed properly. Truth be told, the exterior of a building can be more important than how the building looks aesthetically, but they often don’t get the same level of attention. They do from us. We care. About you, your job at hand, and about building a long-term relationship with you as a partner in the building industry. I’m looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you. I truly believe my team and I can help. While I can’t promise we will be able to work together, I can promise you are our honored guest and will be treated with the utmost respect and consideration when you visit with us or we visit you. You will see for yourself that our comprehensive approach to selecting the right repair options in their proper application is different and far superior to what you have likely experienced in the past. We assess your unique circumstances and design a plan that fits your project specific needs. And we make it all as easy as possible. No other structural engineering consultant in Pittsburgh, or even in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, can boast the kind of track record of excellence we have. Whether it’s evaluating an office building, hospital, University or government building... from brick, EIFS, metal panel –2–

or glass facades... we have knowledgeable and trustworthy staff to ensure we overcome common construction challenges. We are looking forward to meeting you and answering your questions. Sincerely,

Bob Mason, P.E. Bob Mason, P.E. P.S. if you have any questions contact our office at (412) 770-7590 and will be glad to help you. I look forward to seeing you soon!

When we do it right, we truly stand out. While you never knew we were there. A building owner needs to rely on so many people in order to maintain their building asset – and make sure everything is completed on time. So many different trades and vendors can affect the overall performance of the building, and no matter how furiously a property manager can scream: Choosing the wrong engineering consultant or vendor can ruin a project – causing untold (and unnecessary) liquidated damages, destroy a management company’s reputation, and maybe even cost you your bonus or promotion. You may have worked with a structural engineering consultant before, but if you have never experienced the Reliable Structural Engineers LLC difference, you should think carefully about your options. With so much at stake, you should not base your decision on price alone. When considering spending $10,000 to $1,000,000+ on your building improvements and repairs, you should not entrust your project to a company with less experience than Reliable Structural Engineers LLC. 4 MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER VENDOR  Reliable Structural Engeneers, LLC
