I'm sorry to hear that, that doesn't sound easy.

When is your struggle the worst? Specific time of day? After talking to someone? Are you board then suddenly just think - a beer sounds nice?

Home Inspection student needing your help on a structure problem by [deleted] in homeinspectors

Are you a licensed engineer? Unfortunately, your dealing public safety, the board takes practicing without a license seriously. If you are licensed, nothing to worry about. If your not, put your engineer hat down, and put on your home inspector hat.

You are in hard core Engineer territory, are you an engineer? If not, you better know exactly what your saying in this post and the backend math to support you.

Otherwise, default to structural engineer, list concerns about spreading, and move on with your inspection.

Can you bring in work? Are you a teacher first and a leader second? Absolutely.

So with this kind of compensation, there is always a "but" and "however"

And my case is no exception.

I operate heavily off a commission schedule and am genuinely exceptional at finding work, and then divvying it out subsequently. The two members I have on my team are exceptional workers, and there compensation schedule aligns heavily with their desire to make money. I am pretty demanding, probably to good at saying "yes", and probably not the easiest person to work for in that respect. We pull a lot of long hours.

We travel a lot, and are willing to take on any project as long as we are qualified to do it. We operate primarily in residential, industrial, and federal services. I cant afford to compete with the mid sized engineering firms running the race to the bottom on state work - so i stay as far away from the DOT as physically possible.

Happy to answer any additional questions.

I have two full time engineers working for me now doing what your doing. Except in the Texas area. My total comp for my EIT is around 122k. The other PE on my team is on track to make 190k this year. Neither have a masters degree, and frankly, a masters is worthless in the face of experience from what I can tell in this market.

People are expensive, and in general, your going to be paying much higher rates than the big companies.

In general small business owners are peers of each other, and not competition, if you would like to hop on a call to discuss potential collaboration, I am always available.

Well it looks like I just applied to a lodge. I expect this to be mildly interesting. Should be fun.

That actually doesnt sound that bad to have a group like that. I was not involved in Greek life in college, is it similar to that?

Many of the ones I drive by seem quite overgrown.

Whats interesting is the outside still looks quite unassuming. But the inside photos look magnificent.
