As an engineer by training, I was intrigued by the idea that I could build a business that owned real estate, improved the lives of others by renovating apartment complexes, and provided nice returns for investors.

The engineering, both structural and civil took months to start due to a backlog of projects.

I'm a chemical engineer and my partner is a software developer, so although we're in technical fields, I feel like we don't have any useful transferrable skills that help us determine the quality of a building.

Hey everyone,We're currently considering a new construction investment property that, according to the listing agent, had a foundation issue that has since been repaired and signed off on from a structural engineer.

I am going to schedule a structural engineer to assess the issues however I am curious if anyone has dealt with an issue like this or should I walk away.

If you are not looking at laminate (which has gotten a lot better) then look into engineered stone.

Permitting civil engineering, architectural, everything taken care of.

This is the engine that will keep your business running.

Currently i am in college doing my engineering i am in final year now.

I paid to have my architect draw up basic plans and my civil engineer do a preliminary stormwater drainage plan for the new site plan and got bids for the commercial and townhomes.
