Mana Silva Why doesnt more people do new builds than just flipping?
9 January 2017 | 48 replies

John Lindemann Structural Engineer causing major issues for closing
18 March 2016 | 8 replies
I challenged this because #1, the engineer himself says the chimney does not need any adjustment, he just wants there to be a warranty on it and #2 because I don't think a structural engineer has any right to say that a seller can only use Brand X piers...especially when there is not adjustment needed.After many rounds of my refusing to pay for new piers that were not needed the finance company agreed to not require the structural engineers signoff if I could get them the Olshan paperwork explicitly stating that the piers were warrantied...I got that for them and then they decided that the house needed to be physically inspected by Olshan, so we did that...then they required more paperwork from Olshan but that after I got that for them we would be clear to close but the original closing date had passed so I had to extend the contract, which I did...and then after all this was completed now they tell me that the finance company still requires the structural engineer's signoff, and now the engineer is saying that he will not do it because I have two different brands of piers and that is not acceptable.The buyer's realtor has told my realtor that they have pleaded with the engineer to signoff but he will not do it.I do not see any justification for the engineer to say that it is unacceptable to have two different brands of piers...especially since no work is needed and this is apparently just a fight for a warranty.
