Outstanding Engineering Services
The reviews highlight two distinct experiences with CSES, contrasting vastly in terms of quality and professionalism. On one hand, the first review showcases a seamless collaboration between the client and CSES. John from CSES worked closely with the homeowner, conducting a site visit, and providing prompt and patient guidance throughout the engineering process. The client's vision was successfully brought to life, and the permitting process was completed efficiently.
Challenges with a Different Engineer
On the other hand, the second review paints a starkly different picture. Jacob Thompson's experience with CSES was marred by poor communication, unprofessionalism, and a lack of technical expertise. The engineer failed to review the project details beforehand, struggled with basic computer programs, and stopped responding to queries after being asked for revisions. The client ultimately had to seek out a different engineer who provided a better service.
