Robison Engineering Company Review

We had a suspicion that our foundation was shifting and wanted the engineer to come and take a look at it. I called Robinson Engineering and I could not be more satisfied with the service they provided. First of all, Nathan and Erick, the staff at this firm, are very prompt at returning calls and emails. I was very impressed by the follow up calls and emails I received even after they were done evaluating my house. In regards to the house/foundation evaluation, not only I was told that the foundation is in a great shape and only needs a minor repairs but also I got additional questions answered about the structure of my house because both Nathan and Erick were great at asking questions that helped me think of the issues that were not on my mind at the moment. I really feel like I got a great consultation. Lastly, Nathan and Erick were very authentic, nice people who were truly trying to help me understand what causes certain issues in my house without trying to sell me something. I so value integrity in people and Robinson Engineering was irreplaceable in this regard.

I read Jane Dough's grim review here and that caused me to remember my experience with these engineers. In the owner's response, the owner just couldn't bring himself to just ask what he can do to make it right. Doesn't matter your engineering skills when that's all you've got. They telegraph that they not interested in improving their skills in business, management, customer service, billing, accounting, communication, technology, municipal codes and zoning, design, architecture, or artistry; and proud of it for they are 'engineers'. For engineering is the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, use, and maintenance of engines, machines and structures.

Yeah, they offer to prepare your building plans. But don't. Instead, hire an experienced, ethical and mature architect (and an experienced, ethical and mature general contractor who assures you they can build from the architect's plans and the engineer's engineering plans) and maybe use this company only for engineering but be prepared for these people seem to be okay engineers but all their other lacks as businesspeople and artists negate that. Also, for what they charge, which is a lot, they don't even give you 3-D plans. So, they earned two stars for that is what Yelp states here means, "Meh. I've experienced better."

The main concern of any structure for people is people and a building is meant to provide with safety shelter, comfort, versatility, beauty, integration into the environment it sits in, and an enhancement of the environment it sits in.

Structures' usefulness or convenience in this respect (in the sense of form follows function) chiefly relates to the functioning of a room or building with regard to its proposed use. Thus the schedule of accommodation of one building differs from that of the next. That said, however, there are various ways of fulfilling a schedule of accommodation and giving it architectural form. For instance, we differentiate between the functionalist and the rationalist approaches. Whereas the former primarily focuses on single uses (a bedroom, an office, a classroom etc.), the rationalists aim for rooms that are as 'open' as possible, or to design rooms so that they permit a variety of activities.

Any structure should be well built and safe; it also has to suit the users' needs, and finally it should be beautiful inside and out. Equal weight is given to all three criteria: none is more important than the others. Making a good building therefore, requires great effort and a passionate commitment to artistry. It is achieved through maturity, experience, a good imagination, a good client, and a good architect.

These guys are really good and came from the mining industry and now helping us in with our renewable/solar energy project ! Always on time, patient and well connected & experienced with the permitting process. Tks Robinson team again !

My company is a custom home building firm. I have been working with Robison Engineering on my projects for the last 14 years. Their staff as well as service is second to none. They are highly recommended.

Robison Engineering recently helped me complete all the State of Nevada requirements to secure water rights on my property.
The service I received was outstanding! Nathan and Marcie responded immediately to all my concerns, were highly professional, and knowledgable about the process. The value I received for my dollar was better than expected. All in all, a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone needing this type of professional service.

I've been working with Nathan and crew for years now. I can't say enough about how fair and professional they are. I feel like a "small fish" in a big pond but Nathan makes me feel like I matter. Great company!

When it comes to engineering, make sure you do your research. This company is run by a bunch of uneducated college kids that don't know what they're doing. Plan on waiting forever to get your design, spend a ton of time dealing with the building department because the plans are incomplete or wrong, and then find out your contractor is going to have a nightmare of a time building from their plans. Luckily I hired an experienced contractor that was able to take their design as a suggestion and fill in all of the missing elements that would have actually resulted in life safety issues in the future. Sure they were cheap and the owner flashes a fancy smile, but don't let that fool you. I don't understand how this place is in business or how the county or board of engineers hasn't shut them down. DO NOT USE THEIR ENGINEERING SERVICES!!

Rich Phelps and his team did an incredible job with our billboard project in Sparks NV. Our company was extremely impressed with their attention to detail and response time back. They really went the extra mile for us on this project. I would highly recommend them.

Washoe county had me jumping all kinds of regulatory hoops in an endless circle and Nathan stepped in and streamlined all required documents in able to get our permit and start our garage building.

Soon after the form for the foundation were in another set of requirements were demanded by the inspector. Nathan sent his team out immediately got the required documents and we were able to pour concrete on time and on budget.

If I could give 10 stars to Nathan and his team I would, unfortunately five is the highest rating.

Awesome guys! Tks Nathan and David for your hard work! We appreciated the super fast response to a warehouse floor plan, layout and repair yall organized ! Top of the line!
