Best New Construction Foundation Installati… in Plano TX

Olshan has according to brochures been doing business since 4 years into the Great Depression 1933. It has gained the support of a Hall of Fame Baseball Player.  All of which would give confidence in engineering knowledge, skill sets and geological knowledge. Thus when they sent a person with the title of Certified Structural Technician, it would appear logical except Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation does not have that  designation as licensed in Texas. (TDLR). The Certified Structural Technician worked with us to create a plan for breaking down the overall project into phases. Thus the estimate at the point of submitting the contract to the home owner has not been reviewed by a license engineer which keeps any document from stating engineered under Texas statutes. The only indication of the term appears under Engineering Letter which comes with a cost of which is bundled with Permit, no line item but a combined cost of 650.00. Although the Certified Structural Technician stated he would have an engineer review the plan it apparently does not occur until after the contract. The contract is signed by the Certified Structural Technician which does list him as an officer of Olshan which could obligate the company, the second signer is contractor, but has no name and no license number. Piers listed but do not list depth, there is a charge for additional depth according to the Certified Structural Technician thus the contract fails to state depth of free, and cost beyond. Exceptions on the contract include Tunnel 225 per foot, no idea if a tunnel is needed if it went the width of the house it would be aprox 225.00 x 45 feet aprox, cost would be 10, 125.00 which was not part of the contract cost, remove concrete 125.00 per hour, not included in the contract, no indication of need during the walking of the property. Steele Support / Angle Iron 75.00 per piling not in the contract. Finally Generator at 75.00 a day, which indicates a company that has been in business 89 years does not have a generator. Finally the Warranty is for 1 year, after which adjustments after one year  would cost 100.00 per pier, 16 piers 1600 every year.  Transfer cost a 200.00 inspection fee to determine if it will transfer, keep in mind  the transfer is for the 100.00 per pier adjustment, not warranty of the work. I am extremely disappointed with Olshan and perplexed at the issuance of a contract before engineering and geological are completed.
