Proper engineering consists of good design and careful construction. There are about 7 or 8 variations of design for support systems, some of which I wouldn't recommend if they were giving away the materials and work for free. With a good design the question is how well it fits the client's needs, how effective the workmanship, and the details (true value) of the "guarantee".
I am now fully retired. Use the contact form if you wish to speak with me. While I no longer do consulting work, I am always happy to catch up with an old student or long lost friend. -Cecil Smith
