Koenig Consulting Engineers

I spoke with Ron on the phone about what I needed for a residential job in Austin TX. I also sent an email with a detailed checklist from the city planning review. Ron gave me an hourly quote of $ 125/​hr for a site visit. He arrived ten minutes late and within the next fifteen minutes had said he could not provide one of the checklist items (foundation plan) I had no desire to hire more than one engineer for a small project, so knowing this I now knew I would not hire him. However he was there and already on the clock so I continued with the site visit to get his opinion on suggestions. We were there 1.5 hours. I received an invoice for $ 281.25 (2.25 hours). I emailed him to find out why there were added charges. He responded that he billed from his office to site and back. These were not charges that were explained up front and I feel he was not honest. I paid the full invoice but would not recommend him.

I contacted Ronald Koenig to assist me with removing a load-​bearing wall for a kitchen renovation for my home in Allandale. The project included remodelling the layout of the stairs. I had no experience with remodelling, but I was hesitant to hand over control of my project and wallet to any of the contractors with whom I had met. I picked Ron from a google search.
Ron came to my home and after discussing the project, he determined what materials could be used and at my request, suggested two contractors he’s worked with in the past who would be willing to do just the framing. I went with one of them, Joey Susan with AYS. They came and discussed the work together. It worked out great, and I had AYS do other parts of my project. All parts of the inspection have passed. I would definitely recommed Ron to any homeowner who wants to manage their own renovation.
