Engineer in Kansas City

Larry S.

I just received an inspection report for a home I have under contract in Kansas City and there were some potential problems identified with the foundation.  I spoke with a friend who is a structural engineer and he said it looks like it could be pretty bad, so he suggested having someone take a look in person. So, does anyone have a recommendation for an engineer in the KC area that would be able to take a look at the foundation for me? I'm not looking for a long or detailed report, but someone willing to spend an hour or so taking a look for me.

@Larry S. - yes, PM me. I have two great ones. Also, as @Michelle Lutz said Dirk from John Norris is great, however, if this is a flip or a structural issue you 100% need a report first. This will benefit you in multiple ways.  

1. You can't pull a structural permit without an engineer report. 

2. If you sell the property, the report protects you.

3. The foundation company has to follow the report.  

I flip a lot of houses and have tackled some really bad foundations issues. Most problems, though they look bad, are fairly minor.
