Report
***UPDATE 6/28/22 - Ok Jessica got in touch with us and there were things going on and yes there were errors made. We are all human and stuff happens so since both sides were are still willing to give it a go, we are moving ahead with WESI. Stars updated with the new course we are taking and I will update again once the project is complete. Our first call was promptly returned by Jessica who seem like she knew what she was talking about.
She got us excited that we were on the right track regarding our retaining wall. However, after that call, she was nowhere to be found. Nobody at the office answers the phone and Jessica does not answer/respond to voice messages/emails. Now our project is behind schedule. HORRIBLE way to treat customers. I would never refer anyone to this company because I should not have to chase a business and beg them to take my money, not that they need to beg me for my money either but common courtesy goes a long way and is not something this company has.

Report
I was a non-construction professional who needed a drainage plan for our single family house build project. I called WESI and Jessica was very informative about the needs towards county permitting processes. Nate did our Drainage plan and has always been helpful, and responsive. And Tim has supervised and coordinated with my other engineers to get everything sinched up with Nate's design. They have been a great support and help through this process for me. I would recommend them to anyone. Their customer service and knowledge is excellent.

Jessica who answered the phone was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. Thank you for taking your time and helping us out! I think you'd be in great hands if you went with Western Engineers, sounds like they aren't just interested in your $$, but really do care about your project and concerns.
