PROspections is a construction engineering clearing-house.
We can submit your design requirements to multiple engineers at once.
By giving you unprecedented choice, we offer you unprecedented control.

Below is an index of engineers from which we can receive proposals for you.
| Engineering Firms |
Over 7 different firms from which to choose for your foundation plan. |
| Residential and Commercial Services |
7 engineering firms with which we have networked provide foundation design for construction, 6 of them do framing engineering, a few do forensic/performance evaluations, most of then do light commercial structures, a couple of them do heavy commercial and curtain wall design, and one even has a lab for providing geotechnical (soil) engineering. |
| Post-Tension Foundation Design |
All of the firms that we work with provide cost effective post-tension engineering designs |
| Hybrid Design (with post-tension cables on top, and nothing but steel in the grade beams) |
None of the firms we will recommend, will risk non-compression in the beams, and make the builder pay dearly for this inefficient hybrid solution. |
| Conventional Rebar Slab Design |
If you prefer rebar solutions, many of our firms can give you a cost-effective design without any post-tension cables, but post-tension designs are usually a less expensive solution. |
| Build Costs |
How would you like to save 80 cents per square foot? That is how much difference I have seen in build costs with one of the firms we represent when compared to inefficient engineering that builders have used before. |
| Design Costs |
Depending on what you need, whether multiple designs in the same subdivision or a single use for a house on a single property, we can help you select the right engineer for the job. |
| Offices |
Some of the engineers that we recommend, have global offices, but most of them are located in major metropolitan areas of Texas. |
| Firm History |
We can connect you with new engineers, just staring out, or 40 year old firms that have helped author the most sophisticated and widely used method of foundation design. |
| Yearly Revenue |
From less then $100,000 to over $4,000,000. We can recommend "micro" or "mega" firms. |
| States registered |
If you have projects in states other then Texas, we can still help. Several of our engineering firms that we work with are registered in more then 25 states. |
| Insurance |
Few engineers have the reputation to afford $1,000,000 limit ERRORS and OMISSION Insurance, but we know four that do. Otherwise, most of the others just have professional liability. |
| Employees |
1 employee to over 100 employee firms are on our list. |
| Inspections |
Because of PROspections network of inspectors, we can inspect most major cities in Texas. |
| What to expect |
Engineering for a house on a specific lot does not really occur without a soil report. So, if you want a house to be engineered by someone (who is not a fraud,) then you have to submit a soil report with your plan. We can help you select an engineer that is right for you, or submit the project to all of the engineers in our strategic alliance. Because the choice is up to you, you have full control. |
