AcuStruct Comparative Summary

AcuStruct, Inc. is an engineering contractor that concentrates on soil-related problems such as landslides, retaining structures, drainage, erosion control, underpinning, and foundation corrective work. Expertise, experience and proficiency are characteristics that mark AcuStruct’s work, says owner Dan Yust.

While customer satisfaction continues to be a prime reason new clients come to AcuStruct, Mr. Yust thinks it’s something else that sets his company apart. “We don't subcontract out any part of a job, and we own and operate all of our equipment,” he says. Owning and operating all the machinery needed for a job cuts out the inefficiencies of using a subcontractor. AcuStruct is able to perform all the functions that soil and foundation repair projects require.

Mr. Yust explains that a key advantage of using AcuStruct is that it offers a complete crew of knowledgeable foremen and engineers who can adequately analyze and diagnose any situation, as well as design and implement a plan for repair. “We also don’t have in-house engineering,” he says. “We work with independent engineering consultants who work directly with property owners to avoid any potential conflict of interest.” Keeping those two elements of a potential project separate can be critical in determining what work is truly necessary.
