Business ProfileforBeryl Project Engineering, LLC

I hired this Engineering Company on 3/23 to draw up a design to present to Pinellas County Building and Development to get permits to build a deck with a pergola behind my home. I sent them drawings I had done myself online that gave the size and the framing of the deck (16'x24') which showed where the footings for the pergola (16'x16') would need to go to miss the septic lines and the distance from the house to create a legal walkway. They have sent me drawings from 5 different engineers each one changing the dimensions of the deck and the frame layout that I sent them. I know I'm not an Engineer, and I used Simpson strong-tie software to draw the designs myself. And the pergola drawing was a generic photo off the web. The first drawing I received had the footings under the concrete pool decking which is located 24 feet from the house. I then had to request them to move them out from under the existing concrete and the pergola they designed was set under the sofit so the beam was so low I would have to duck under it when leaving the house. I then sent them a photo of the house with measurements for the door opening and to the sofit. The next drawing, I received stretched the east side of the deck to 26 feet and moved all of the footings north (an unauthorized change). I sent back the drawings with the corrections. I got the next drawings (each time from a different Engineer). This time put the east side of the deck back to 24 feet (correct) but then changed the west side of the deck to 26 feet. (Another unauthorized change) Doesn't fit in the 24-foot area. And the pergola was designed to close to the house for a legal walkway. And now they're telling me there going to charge an extra $600.00 for the changes I've requested that brings everything back to my original drawings I sent on 3/23. It is now 7/8 and I was told they would be ready on 7/10 after I pay the additional $600.00. Unable to upload e-mailed Doc's, will forward to your e-mail on request
