I was worried about sagging floors in my 100+ year old home. Not only did they connect me with an engineer but he took time to tell me the ends and outs of the issue I was dealing with and more importantly referred me to two companies they work with that do the work. This was not the job for them, but they went above and beyond to help me.

They are very helpful. Although they were unable to engineer my ICF home without a premium for learning the ICF system, they were very friendly. They provided me with several recommendations for structural engineers who may be able to assist me with this project. I do recommend them because of the 40 years of experience they bring to a project.

I need some information about putting a sunroom on the back of my house. The gentleman I spoke to advised me about what I needed and how it should be done. He was very informative and I appreciate his time to explain all the aspects of my project. Unfortunately, what I needed they don’t provide. He gave me three different engineering companies that could help me with my project. In a world that is so busy this gentleman took his time and explained everything that I needed to do. If you have a big project this the company you should call. Thank you for your help. Alexsandra (Sandy) Connolly

I called ABC Consulting Inc. to see if a structural engineer could come out to my home for a foundation analysis. While they did not offer the service for my specific request Fadi spoke to me for about 10 minutes evaluating what I actually needed to be done to my crawl space. Fadi provided me professional advice based on his 40 years of personal and professional experience in an extremely pragmatic and professional manner. He then provided me with some other references who could help me with my specific needs. Truly exceptional customer service. I look forward to an opportunity to work with Fadi at ABC Consulting Inc. in the future.

Fadi is very knowledgable and incredibly helpful. We were told (by another company) that we would need to spend $15,000 - $20,000+ to fix an issue with our garage, but Fadi assured us that was not necessary. If you want a REAL engineer to evaluate your home, call ABC Consulting, no one else.

ABC Consulting was very professional and provided a detailed report that we needed from a structural engineer. Fadi Debbas was extremely thorough and answered all questions, explaining everything we needed to know in terms that a layman could understand. If I need the services of a structural engineer in the future, I will look no further. I highly recommend this company.

We had some structural concerns with our house so we reached out to ABC consulting to get advice and spoke with Mr Debbas an engineer with the company. He is very nice to work with, he was able to schedule a site visit with us very quickly. He addressed all of our concerns and explained everything to us in a way that made sense. He provided us with an engineering report in a format that explained the scope of work, that made it easy to hire a contractor. We will definitely recommend ABC Consulting Inc. To our friends and family. Thank you Mr Debbas for addressing our concerns, and thoroughly explaining everything to us.

We worked with ABC Consulting on a project for our startup's product to get engineer drawings as well as official wind/snow load capacities. This product would be installed on a rooftop and required this documentation in order to pass inspections.

ABC Consulting was timely with their designs and comprehensive in their assessment of the proposed installation.

They were thorough yet expedient, would work with them again for future business needs.

Don't hesitate to call ABC first. I was able to talk to Fadi personally, he was kind and informative to talk to, and he provided great information and recommendations! Great experience!

I had called Fadi because I was concerned with the structural integrity of a section of my home's foundation. He had asked me multiple questions and what solutions I had already tried. He couldn't confirm exactly what the problem is because he was not looking at the house, but suggested some plausible causes as well as other solutions to try based on the information I gave him. All of this advice was free of charge. He was upfront with his costs, but wanted to save me some money by telling me to try the other cheaper solutions first and then to call him to come out if none of them worked.

I appreciate that Fadi willingly gave me advice and really pushed to try other solutions before going back to him. This saved me a lot of money and also made me realize if I ever did need a Structural Engineer in the future then I would always go with Fadi.

Friendly and extremely knowledgeable! I called with a question regarding an addition we were planning, and they took time to walk me through how to properly navigate the issue. Will 100% be using them for any other issues requiring and engineer!

As soon as we spoke to Fadi Debbas, we knew this was the structural engineer we needed for our project. In a very straightforward manner, ABC Consulting, Inc. quickly identified project issues and suggested practical solutions.

Fadi was extremely knowledgeable regarding current building practices, codes and structural requirements which helped to expedite the design process greatly. Additionally, advice on the building permitting process was instrumental in the successful outcome of our home addition project. Fadi was always available for questions and was very prompt in getting us answers.

The report findings and recommendations provided by ABC Consulting provided just what was needed. We would recommend him and his firm to anyone!

I rarely, if ever, write reviews but felt compelled to in this case. My property had a structural issue that caused me great concern. I received proposals to fix this structural issue from several foundation repair companies. All proposals offered the exact same solution. Having worked in engineering myself (but in a different field), I just did not feel comfortable that these foundation repair companies were offering a viable, permanent solution that would last for the long term. I decided then to search for a structural engineer that could give me an independent, unbiased opinion, on how to remedy the structural issue with my house.

After much searching I finally came across Fadi Debbas of ABC Consulting. I was pleasantly surprised that on my initial call to ABC Consulting I was able to talk to Fadi, and that he took the time to listen to my concerns. After our initial phone conversation and meeting at my house, I knew I made the correct decision in hiring ABC Consulting to recommend a solution to the structural problem with my house. Fadi is very personable, easy to talk to, and was always available for any of my follow-up questions. Shortly after our meeting I received a detailed report with the recommended solution. Fadi’s solution to my house’s structural problem was simple, effective, much lower in cost, and definitely a much more durable solution. I was even recommended a contractor for the repairs, whom I also used.

If you are searching for a structural engineer, I wholeheartedly recommend Fadi of ABC Consulting. I will definitely call ABC Consulting if I need a solution to a structural problem in the future.

My house was severely impacted by the hail storm, and my experience with Travelers insurance has been a nightmare. Their handling of the situation pushed me to seek a second opinion by hiring an engineer. After an extensive search, I was fortunate to discover ABC Consulting Inc. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Fadi, and his exceptional knowledge and attention to detail were evident from our first conversation. Despite the distance, he took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the process, providing the guidance and information I needed. As an engineer myself, I was deeply impressed by Mr. Fadi's professionalism and commitment to delivering high-quality service during a stressful time. His caring and detail-oriented approach was truly commendable.While I wish Mr. Fadi operated closer to Northern Virginia, I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a caring and highly competent engineer. If you are looking for the best engineering expertise in Norfolk, Virginia, I urge you to reach out to Mr. Fadi.

ABC Consulting really is a life saver and worth the 5 star review. It was hard trying to find a reputable company to assess and propose a design for residential structural repair within the Hampton Roads. However, I can assure anyone that their Communication is an A+, Flexibility is an A+, Professionalism is an A+, and Affordability is an A+. ABC Consulting is worth recommending.

Fadi is a treasure! I have several clients who have used him to oversee construction projects. Even the contractors like him for his detail orientation and making sure all the details are handled properly. Clients end up with less cost and good construction results by having Fadi involved!

Fadi reviewed structural damage to my property that was caused by a tornado to verify that I would correct all issues both seen and unseen by my insurance inspector. I definitely needed a pro since I had wood, concrete and brick issues. I did not want to overlook something that could cause problems and cost money in the future. Fadi was a major help. Sometimes you need to understand what your are up against and get some answers that make sense. He is conscientious, experienced and trustworthy.

Maureen Paris

Hands down the BEST in our area and, quite frankly, the best in Virginia! Fadi and the team at ABC Consulting are the perfect partner for any structural consulting, design and advice. The years of experience and professional guidance by Fadi is priceless! He has not only helped me navigate through structural advice with our company but is currently helping us with a home we are building. He is able to take the mystery out of structural design and explain it in a way that makes sense for anyone embracing projects that that need expert structural advice. I highly recommend ABC Consulting and wish I could give more than only 5 stars!

I used Fadi of ABC consulting as a structural engineer/consultant for a property that I acquired in Norfolk. Fadi was very professional and thorough in his review and was also able to present options to resolve the issues. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a structural engineer.

Jennifer Gruber

I called ABC Consulting, Inc. as I was seeking information about a property that might have flooding issues. To my pleasant surprise, Fadi Debbas himself answered my call. He was patient, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I could sense his competence and expertise (he mentioned that not only is he an engineer but he has been working in this field for 34 years). We discussed my options and what information I would need to gather.

If I need to do a building project in the future, I feel confident in Fadi Debbas of ABC Consulting, Inc. and would not hesitate to call him.

A well-earned 5-stars. It was a pleasure working with ABC Consulting throughout. They were responsive, professional, highly-competent and made a variety of valuable suggestions that we plan to implement. We have no doubt that Fadi has saved us a ton of money, giving us cost-conscious options to address our foundation and structural issues. He was always careful to provide advice that would give us the best outcome for the most reasonable cost. We felt comfortable with his obvious expertise, knowing the solutions he proposed fit our situation to a “T”. We would absolutely contact Fadi for future needs and would highly recommend ABC Consulting to friends and family.

Fadi knows structural engineering and construction management inside and out. He is as fair minded as they come and goes out of his way to figure out a solution to a customer problem that makes sense in terms of need and cost. Not many can figure out what to do with a big repair or renovation like him especially with his local knowledge whether it be dealing with site conditions or who are the best local contractors. Coming from personal experience, Fadi's always looking out for his customer and I highly recommend him and ABC Consulting.

I am new to renting, and I was thinking about hiring a structural engineer to come look at the house I'm renting because I had some concerning ceiling/wall cracks as well as soft floor spots. I called ABC Consulting to set something up, and instead of having me pay for his services, he not only spent time getting to know me, but he also asked me a series of thorough questions about the property. Afterwards, he was able to give me his professional advice on the issues without him having to come out and look at it. He saved me a ton of money and seemed to really care about my safety. There are not too many companies out there that would spend their time to help someone out without charging them for it. I hung up the phone with peace of mind and a smile for such a lovely conversation.

Last month when I needed a Professional Engineer to investigate a structural concern with an addition to my home, I was unsure where to turn. It was a scary proposition to hire someone for work that was so far beyond the scope of my knowledge and expertise, so I researched many sites and checked numerous reviews before choosing ABC Consulting. From the beginning, Fadi Debbas' experience and expertise gave me a sense of security. He actually tried to persuade me to consider other options that might have been less expensive, but lucky for me, I valued experience over saving a few dollars. Turns out I made the right decision! The way Fadi conducted his business and the way he showed and explained issues to me gave me a great deal of confidence about what really needed to be done and why it needed to be done. He was on time for all appointments, and he did not dilly-dally. Fadi is serious, but he also has a great personality and a wonderful sense of humor, which was a nice bonus! Based on my experience, if you ever need an Engineer you can trust, do yourself a favor and call Fadi Debbas at ABC Consulting.

Mr. Debbas is an expert in his field of work. He was able to swiftly come up with a plan to fix the issues in my attic. His explanations were clear and made sense even for somebody like me with absolutely no experience with structural engineering. I am so grateful for his advice and very appreciative of his expertise.

Knowledgeable. Friendly. Professional. Helpful. Experienced. Characteristics I look for in a consulting company. Fadi didn’t disappoint. He looked out for my investment and, honestly, my relatively small fee just doesn’t seem gratuitous enough. My 5 stars don’t come easy. But Fadi earned them.

Feb 26, 2022

I called ABC consulting to get help with the design of a retaining wall. Fadi, the owner and engineer, answered my phone when I called, was very nice and we scheduled an appointment in his office to discuss the project. At the meeting, Fadi suggested a solution that would not require his help, but he told me that he wanted to give me the best advice regardless of whether or not he will make money on me.
This type of honesty is not common. After having bad experiences with a lot of professionals in the construction business around Hampton roads, my experience with ABC consulting and Fadi was amazing. I will definitely use him again and whole hearts felt recommend h to anyone who needs an honest, professional structural engineer in Hampton roads.
Thank you Fadi!

Once in a while you find a business that appears to be ethical and competent. Seems to be the exception these days, but it does happen. To address continuing foundation issues not addressed by prior "foundation experts", I decided to contact a structural engineer first, because that's what they study and they are not trying to sell you their service to sister beams, install unnecessary hydraulic piers, etc. Fadi answered the call. He was able to work with my difficult schedule, performed an inspection within a short period of my call, and provide a thorough report a few days later. He also specifically talked me down from additional services that he could provide which would cost me more money without likelihood of much benefit. He walked and talked through it all with me on site. At the end of the day, Fadi likely saved me from a very costly fix that was recommended by the "foundation experts". I hope his fix does the trick, but my modest understanding of physics and his confidence tell me it will work. Thank Fadi for scoring a point for honesty and competency in professionals.

I recently called ABC Consulting. I was inquiring about a potential foundation inspection. I didn’t quite catch the gentleman’s name who answered but he was very courteous and even advised me to seek a good drywall company first. More often than not, companies want to sell their products/services regardless if it is beneficial or not for their customers. I was very pleased with our interaction even though no services were done!

Fadi in 2009 I had a property in Suffolk that I remodeled and they were very helpful in the process of providing the information that I needed for the city as far as the engineering plans for rebuilding foundation and other projects to complete a duplex to proper code thank you so much for your help

I do not exaggerate when I say that Fadi was the kindest and most honest person I've spoken to regarding the issues with my home. It was refreshing to speak to someone who truly cared about my concerns and not just about money. He gave me good advice and options to consider without scaring me to death (very sweet). The admin was also just as lovely. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a structural engineer.

With a sagging roof, we needed to contact an engineering firm to get an inspection and report to detail what needed to be fixed. Upon contacting ABC Consulting on Tuesday, we received a call back very quickly and a contract was drawn up and signed that day. Kimberly called on Wednesday to schedule an appointment for Fadi to come out on Thursday morning. Fadi was on time and within an hour had completed his inspection. By Friday morning, we had a very detailed report that we will be able to hand to a contractor to get the work done. Kimberly and Fadi were very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend ABC Consulting to anyone that needs to get any sort of work done. They were awesome. I hope the construction contractor will be as pleasant of an experience.

Rachel Ferrell

Though we had never spoken before, Fadi answered my call after hours just to inquire about an issue we're facing with trying to purchase a home and proceeded to help me better discern what to do. I felt like I was speaking with a knowledgeable, caring, assertive doctor. He really helped us; I can see why he has so many excellent reviews.

Eric Williams
Oct 10, 2021

We had a situation where we needed a professional opinion regarding a possible structural issue. Fadi was able to come out, almost immediately, and provide an expert inspection. He was knowledgeable and personable and gave detailed guidance on how to resolve our issue. He also provided all the documentation necessary to satisfy our lenders demands. Fadi and ABC Consulting could not have attended to our needs more thoroughly. The top quality of their service was impeccable and refreshing.

Many thanks again Fadi.

Respectfully,
Eric and Kali Williams

ABC Consulting Inc is your best option for an engineering firm in the Hampton Roads area! We used ABC Consulting Inc for a structural review of a residential property, including a general opinion and thorough inspection of a few questionable areas. I am familiar with working with engineers and structural issues in homes, but ABC and Fadi were among the best that I have had the opportunity to work with. From the initial inquiry on a Sunday evening, I had an email reply within 10 minutes! I called into the office the next day to follow-up and by close of business had a contract in hand with an estimate and a tentative date scheduled for the same week. On the day of the appointment, was given an arrival window prior, a call to nail down the exact time, and an on-time arrival. The experience, knowledge, and local familiarity were evident from the onset and our expectations were exceeded throughout the process. During the entire inspection process we felt as if Fadi was an advocate for us solely and looking out for our best interests. He was thorough and professional, being careful not to overpromise until he was confident of the results. Final results were delivered within the same week as initial inquiry, pricing was competitive, and the report was complete and easily understood. During all of this process there were other competitors that hadn't even completed the initial follow-up or quoting process! We intend to use ABC Consulting Inc on future projects and look forward to working with them again. Look no further for a competent, responsive, knowledgeable, engineering firm in the Hampton roads area, you will be disappointed and wasting your time. Keep up the great work ABC Consulting Inc!

Over the past 4 years, I've hired Fadi and ABC Consulting for many projects in the Norfolk/Suffolk/Richmond, VA areas. Fadi has performed hundreds of site visits for my firm.

From start to finish, I have been thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of this team!

I own a 95 year old home, and contacted ABC Consulting after discovering some concerning wall cracks and a sagging beam. The admin staff promptly responded to my inquiry and had me in contact with Fadi, their engineer, within a matter of hours. Fadi was even able to work me into his schedule last minute since I was concerned about my family’s safety. During his visit he was on time, polite and personable. He was able to quickly assess our problem, give us direction on a safe temporary solution, and then provided a very detailed report and design to permanently correct the problem.

We used ABC Consulting to do a structural review of commercial property that had been vacant for 20 plus years. Fadi was extremely thorough, efficient during the walkthrough and his report was excellent. He was honest in his evaluation and presented the least cost options for revitalization. I was extremely impressed with this service and would hire him to manage our construction project. He has an extensive portfolio of commercial projects.

We had a wall in our home that we wanted to open up and install a beam. Fadi was very professional and helpful! Not only did he exceed expectations for what we paid him to do (structural report), but also made himself available after delivering the report to consult with us throughout the course of the construction. Fadi is the guy you want looking at your next project! I've attached a few photos from the process.

ABC Consulting was amazing to work with. Not only did they deliver on what we paid them for, but they went above and beyond with giving advice and additional recommendations. We had a very tight timeline and they were able to come out to our property within a couple of days and within 24 hours from seeing our property provide us with the structural report we needed for our permits. When we realized what we had originally wanted to do would leave our house not structurally sound, Fadi came up with a solution and helped us come up with a new plan/layout that we love even more than what we had originally wanted. And when things didn't work out with our contractor we felt comfortable reaching out to Fadi to ask his opinion on something and he generously gave it as well as provided a contact of someone who could help us. If that's not going ABOVE & BEYOND, I don't know what is. I also really appreciated that they were $500 less than the other company I got a quote from and that ABC consulting stuck to the minimum number of hours needed for the project.

Great service really can be hard to find; however ABC consulting was fantastic. They were prompt, well-mannered, and responsive with scheduling and responding to emails. They fit us in quickly and provided professional and high quality work. Mr. Debbas was not only extremely knowledgeable, he was personable, professional, and kind. He readily answered all of our questions and explained his recommendations throughly. I wish every service experience was as easy as this and gave us this level of customer satisfaction.

He did some calculations for a beam in my kitchen so I can remove a wall. He is very professional, he took extra time to explain the details of his report to me, plus he's just a really nice guy!

I hired ABC consulting for structural concerns I had for my home to include my foundation sagging and chimney leaning away from my house.. Fadi came to my home and inspected it providing thorough recommendations to correct the issues I did have. Not only did he inspect my home, he reviewed previous foundation repair estimates I had recieved prior to his inspection and explained in plain, easy to understand terms why the repairs proposed would not actually fix the deficiencies with my foundation. Fadi worked with my unusual circumstances and provided me with the peace of mind and answers I needed to correct my foundation issues for a reasonable price and I will always recommend this company to friends and family.

Fadi has guided me through numerous foundation and construction projects. My only regret is the money I wasted before he became involved.

I hired ABC consulting to investigate a loose ceiling joist in the attic. Fadi pointed out right away that an entire roof truss had been removed to accommodate the chimney and that it was the cause for the loose joist. It was also causing leakage around the chimney into the attic, something my home inspector did not catch. He provided a detailed drawing of what needed to be done to reinforce the structure and stop the leak. He also took the time to answer all of my questions and teach me a few things throughout the process, something I appreciate as a new homeowner. I definitely recommend ABC consulting. Their expertise is extremely valuable. Catching this problem now will save me thousands in repairs in the long run. Thank you!

ABC Consulting has wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to navigating through structural issues. Their expertise helped me salvage the project that I was working on when I thought the situation was dire. Fast response time, easy to communicate with and clear direction on solutions created is how I would describe this company.

ABC Consulting was hired for construction management services and on-site supervision to repair and repave our shopping center’s parking lot and rework lot lighting.

Fadi Debbas was heavily involved from pre- to post-construction and listened to our needs and issues. He maintained constant communication throughout the project. His daily reports and as-built plans provide valuable information and will be extremely helpful should we decide to revisit the scope of work for future needs.

The job was completed in time considering the numerous challenges that the coronavirus pandemic posed. We are happy with the final product.

Fadi was a pleasure to work with. He came to our home in Chesapeake right away to discuss issues we were having with our renovation. He gave us his honest opinion and gave variety solutions he thought would benefit us. We felt very comfortable with his opinion and felt our needs were being taken care of honestly without him trying to make a sale.

Fadi did stellar work for us & very pleased. I highly recommend him. Fadi is professional, diligent, prompt, dedicated, conscientious, exemplary, extraordinary & accurate. We love that you thought of us & even went above & beyond. Your engineering drawing you created of our foundation is frame worthy. I showed it to our friend who is doing our remodel & was very impressed. We are very impressed. Now, that I know you from my work & you’ve done work for us, I can honestly say that you are all the words good words in the dictionary to describe you. Thank you.

I requested the service of ABC Consulting to evaluate the structural integrity of a second story addition completed on my house by the previous owner. I had concerns regarding the quality of the work after I noticed numerous cracks around door openings. Fadi was able to do a sight visit and quickly diagnosed the cause of the cracks. He gave expert advice on ways to repair and mitigate the issues by reinforcing several areas of concern. Following the visit, he provided detailed instructions for contractors to follow. I was able to make the necessary repairs and now have peace-of-mind that the structural issues are resolved. This was money well spent. I highly recommend ABC Consulting, They will provide expert advice and quality products on a short timeline.

Fadi and the crew at ABC consulting were amazing to work with. Having done work without a GC and now with ABC it's night and day. I will always use a GC and always use ABC Consulting on future projects

At Colonial Welding & Fabrication we have teamed with ABC Consulting on several commercial and industrial projects that were often unconventional and challenginging. Their willingness and ability to apply sound engineering principals to "out of the box" thinking has always been a valuble asset.

Took the time to consult with me over the phone and offer sound advice. My issue was not something they would typically deal with but the owner listened and provided helpful feedback regardless. Thank you!

I have not decided to have an inspection done at this time, but Mr. Debbas was very helpful in explaining the process involved with the inspection of my kitchen sub-flooring and how the supporting structures for my second story could be involved as well. He seemed very knowledgeable, and was clear about costs and how to set up an appointment.
January 20, 2020--I first contacted Mr. Debbas 7 months ago for information about a structural question resulting from a recent renovation to my home, and wrote the above review. I contacted Mr. Debbas again today to set up an appointment for an inspection of my home. Again, Mr. Debbas was most helpful and very candid about the actual necessity of an inspection that could, quite possibly, lead to very expensive remediation work. He listened to my situation and asked some questions, and instead of gladly taking my money for an inspection, he suggested several things I could do to detect any problems, and to put off an inspection until (if ever,) I noticed any indications that there might be a problem that needed further investigation. I am most grateful for Mr. Debbas' candor. So many businesses today are self-serving and willing to take advantage of people who cannot afford to pay for unneeded services.

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials.

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
