"We called Lou to come and meet us at the home we are purchasing to help us determine how we could work with removing a load bearing wall in the kitchen. We called to make an appointment four days out, then called him back the next day to confirm the appointment which was a few days out. We then texted him again the night before to confirm the time, at which point he told us he’d lost our information. But we were able to confirm and had our realtor schedule to meet us at the home so we could have the meeting. On the day of the meeting, 15 minutes after the appointment time, we called to see where he was. The phone rang a few times, but we were put to voicemail. At that time, I called using my number, Lou picked up and then said he was busy and he forgot about our appointment. He said he could get there in 40 minutes, but with two small kids in tow, a husband that took off from work and a realtor sitting there, that was not an option. I am floored at the unprofessional and just lack of consideration of our time and mismanagement of his business. And to think he was going to charge us $300 for today with another $1,500 - $2,000 for the plans. Praise God we didn’t enter into this business relationship. Would not recommend."

"Engaged with Evolution drafting to get plans done for my sons home after it was damaged from the 2 hurricanes in Florida. We agreed on pricing and everything seemed great and we were close to finalizing the plans but the local city needed the plans signed and sealed. Evolution Drafting said they could provide this service for an additional cost of $1,100.00 which was paid on 3/20. They stated it should only take a few weeks to get done. Nothing ever was delivered and after numerous texts and emails, I was promised the final signed and sealed plans by 4/30. Well 4/30/2025 has come and gone and I still have not received our plans. Rueben has continued to stall me by stating he is trying to get these done ASAP. It has reached a point that I feel they are never going to get us the final plans as we have asked and paid for. Started out as a great experience but has turned into a nightmare for us and our son and his wife."

Septic Systems The Big Question: "How often should I get my septic tank pumped?" The Florida Department of Environmental Protection suggests pumping your tank at least every 3 to 5 years to help ensure it continues to work properly. If you have an alternative system with electrical/mechanical components, you should have service more frequently. Over time your septic system becomes its own eco system. Containing living microorganisms that digest and treat household waste. Pouring any foreign substances down the drain can kill these organisms, causing harm to the septic system as a whole. No matter which sink or drain you use, avoid chemical and oils.
"It didn't happen they said they would have to push me off a day because of weather don't know why weather was sunny. Spring Hill septic pumped me out same day one hour after Jimmy's postponed me."

You should bring in a structural engineer any time you’re adding or removing something that carries weight—think new construction, a major remodel, or moving a load‑bearing wall. Call one during a real‑estate deal, after storm damage, or when you spot cracks in the foundation, beams, or chimney. An engineer’s report confirms that the structure is sound and tells your contractor exactly what fixes—or reinforcements—are needed to keep the home safe long‑term.
Who you hire depends on the task. Hire an architect to shape the look and layout of your home. Call a structural engineer to verify that load‑bearing elements—walls, beams, foundation—can handle the plan or to diagnose structural issues. Bring in a home inspector for a broad health check during a sale, after a storm, or for an appraisal. Matching the pro to the job keeps costs down and problems in check.
During the visit, the engineer checks your foundation, framing, walls, roof, and insulation, then compares what they see to any existing plans. If the structure matches the specs, you get the all‑clear; if not, the engineer outlines the fixes. Their sign‑off is what lets the next phase of work move forward, so expect clear notes on what’s solid and what needs attention.
Civil engineering is the broad field that covers roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. Structural engineers focus on the loads and forces inside a building or bridge—foundations, beams, and walls—while mechanical engineers design and keep power systems running, from elevators and turbines to HVAC equipment. In short, civil handles the big picture, structural makes sure it stands up, and mechanical keeps everything moving.
Most structural engineers offer free quotes. They’ll look at your home’s size and the scope of work to decide whether a flat fee or hourly rate makes sense. Simple inspections are usually priced by square footage; bigger, more complex jobs require a site visit and a detailed written estimate. Getting that number up front lets you nail down a budget before any drawings or inspections begin.
The engineer reviews every load‑bearing part of the home—floors, foundation, walls, roof, and major beams—along with insulation and the soil around the structure. They also factor in local weather risks and nearby water sources. The goal is to confirm that the materials and construction can handle day‑to‑day loads and extreme events alike, and to flag any spots that need reinforcement.
