Salient Engineering Inc., Fresno CA

Hired Brandon for a survey of my property for a court case. Paid him $980. Very unprofessional, said his tablet was cracked and couldn't show us any thing on it and didn't mark any corners. Didn't bring tools borrowed some from my husband. Said I would be getting everything I need the next day haven't heard from him since April. Got my lawyer involved and he also tried to contact him with no reply. Now for my court date in June the judge is certainly going to know about him.

We paid Salient Engineering to do a survey for us. They never completed the work and continued to lie about issuing a refund. No Survey and No refund, what an absolute con. They will no longer answer or accept our calls…. DO NOT use.

SCAM - Paid $3k and it's a year later with zero to show for it

update: I asked for my maps and he threatened to send his friends over to my house if I didn’t remove my review.

Scam

Brandon to this day has not completed multiple jobs he originally promised to give us.we paid him in full and since then he has been impossible to get a hold of.so sad that this D-bag is going around the state scamming innocent people out of their money. If your considering him for working, i would advise strongly against him.

Scam

It's now been 6 months with nothing

4/2022 Brandon from Salient Engineering came out and went above and beyond, so I thought. Greatly appreciated and highly recommended his fake promises.
Fast to except your money and it's been a year with no results.

6/25/22 Where are my results?
It's been months.

9/15/22 and still nothing. It's been 6 months.

3/16/23 I called Brandon to see where my map was and he said if I don't remove my review "I know where you live and I'll send some friends"
I reminded him that he already has my money and the only reason my review was updated was because I had nothing to show for my $3k after 6 months.

3/16/23 Brandon wants me to know my proof won't hold up in court.

I paid and got nothing. He wants me to remove my review as a trade to get my results.

This guy will not only scam you but threaten you because he knows where you live.

Hired Brandon to mark all 4 corners of the property, and to create a legal document. He marked the corners but never got the document. Turns out he is operating out of his apartment and I'm not sure he is operating legally in CA.

Never answered calls, never returned calls with voicemails left and did not answer emails.

Needed a TOPO for my vacation home in Truckee, CA. It was November and I was afraid of snow and wanted to get it done quickly. Called Brandon and he was very accommodating. He was available and I gave him the job. He visited the site within couple days, prepared the report within first week. Ask me for the payment before forwarding the TOPO report to me. I paid online. He forwarded the TOPO. All standard process until now. I forwarded that TOPO reports to my architect and civil engineer. Both (architect and civil) engineers started asking topo related questions which should have been included on topo report. Brandon started fighting with both of my Engineers and accusing them for not knowing how to do their jobs. Both of the Engineers confirmed me that the TOPO report Brandon has prepared doesn't contain information they needed to move forward. My conversation with Brandon didn't go well. He started acting unprofessional. I had to get another TOPO report from different engineer. I never met the guy but here's my observation. Very young or very new to the industry. Doesn't hesitates to cut the corner, full of attitude, talks sweet earlier, zero teamwork skills. Very uncooperative, doesn't hesitates to blame everyone around him but him. Nothing but a headache to work with. I hope he realizes this soon rather late so he can create a beautiful surroundings which will serve him well.
