We have a house with a basement that has four columns in it, and we wanted to know what size beams we would need in order to support the load of the upper floor. We needed multiple options for A) removing all 4 columns, or B) removing 2 outer columns, or C) removing 2 inner columns. Nolan was punctual, friendly and answered all of my many, many questions. He sent the report back promptly and when I had follow up questions, he further explained everything I needed to know. I will highly recommend using SE&I to anyone who needs an engineer.

We have used SE&I for nearly a decade for new home construction, service/warranty projects, as well as sub surface evaluations.
SE&I has always been timely, at market rate, and taken the time to give us not only 1, but multiple solutions to our problem or issue needing resolution.
Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and courteous.

My family and I just had an inspection done at 2211 old natchez trace. Nolan Williams did the inspection. Having been in my trade at an early age (I now enjoy over 30 yrs in it) I respected his knowledge and getting in at the ground floor. Having been a laborer , then a framer myself and eventually working my way up to working for my builder, I appreciated his level of experience not from just schooling but old school starting from the ground level like his father taught him. Being a 3rd generation in my industry, I appreciate the level of experience he has been taught and his level of candor and

SEI was very thorough in assessing our tornado damaged home. They prepared a detailed report outline all of the repairs needed. They were professional, kind, and understanding. I highly recommend this firm.

Like a well done steak, or a weekend away at a resort; sometimes quality is worth paying for, and even though I wouldn't know what the going rate is for an engineering professional, I definitely feel I've gotten my money's worth.

I would highly recommend to anyone needing an home inspection for a refinance. They were prompt and courteous and had my report completed the next day as promised. This was a seamless transaction.

I've been searching around for a sound instruction company and I am thankful I called this company. Brook was very informative and patient with me! When she realized a lived too far she graciously recommended me to someone closer.
For some of my problems She told me who to call in my county. When I called they said they will speak to my builder and handle it! Thanks so much Brook!
I highly recommend this company!

Thorough, quick, and efficient. A great way to have some peace-of-mind prior to purchasing a home with a few cracks. They offer realistic solutions that fit any budget and are very responsive! Would recommend, A+!

I hired SE&I to look at the foundation of a house I was looking to buy. The inspector recommended I hire an engineer to look at some cracks that were possibly re-opening.
They were professional and on-time. But the quality of work was poor. The inspector spent a total of 10 minutes evaluating the foundation in-person. I paid $155 per hour, with a "minimum" of two hours. So, I paid $310 for 2 hours of work, and he was in-person looking at the foundation for 10 minutes.
He said the external foundation wall was not cracking. Two other professionals have given the opposite opinion, and the cracks
