If I could give ZERO stars I would.
I spent months working with Mike on subdividing my property-- having to chase him down multiple times through phone calls and emails.
Was looking for a Residential Parcel Split in Linn County. After working over a year with the county to get a conceptual approval on a minor sub-division and 4 months with Mike, he did not have the intestinal fortitude to submit my plans to the county.

I suggest his allegiance to his cronies at the county is more valuable to him than that of a paying customer. His unwillingness to submit my proposal, which was conceptually approved by the county planning and zoning committee along with the secondary roads department begs to question the professionalism of this organization.

If you need something that is cookie cutter surveyed perhaps this is an organization you may want to do business with. If you need someone to follow YOUR decisions and work with YOU I would suggest not wasting your time.

I was referred here by a friend when I needed a survey done. I was warned that they were " very good, but expensive". They were the least expensive of the three estimates I solicited. They are very prompt and professional.

The best engineering firm in Cedar Rapids, if not all of Iowa. I highly recommand Mike and everyone at Brain Engineering.
