Revival Design and Management Group Inc

My home was badly damaged in a wind storm so my insurance company asked for an engineer's report that assesses the damage. My emergency response team hired Amr Robah of YEJ Studio to conduct the report.

Amr was supposed to come May 25 for a preliminary assessment at 10AM. He arrived at 11:30AM. On May 28 he delivered a report that only assessed the front porch of the house. In the report he misspelled words like "framing" and "masonry", as well as my street name.

Amr was supposed to return May 29 at 11AM to assess the inside of the house. He arrived around 1PM. He asked for some walls and ceilings to be removed to be able to observe some damage.

Amr returned June 11 and once again was hugely discourteous with his poor punctuality. He verbalized his observations and promised a quick report.

After promises daily of the report being delivered and many days of silence to my inquiries, I received a draft report June 20 (9 days later in an urgent situation). Once again the report misspelled words such as their own street name and "cracks", and it had random punctuation and layout that made the report totally unprofessional.

I offered my comments on the report. Daily I was promised an updated report (when he was reachable). He then called on June 27 and said he needs more pictures and will send someone at 4:30PM. Nobody showed up. He called me June 28 and told me that they didn't need the images and will rush out the report. Today is June 30 (19 days later in an urgent situation) and I still am without a report. Amr Robah has already been paid.

I did some research about filing a complaint with Professional Engineers of Ontario and learned that Amr Robah is NOT a licensed engineer in Ontario. I also see from reviews everywhere that this unprofessional, unreliable and incompetent service is what all clients receive from YEJ Studio and Amr's other company, Revival Design & Management. Just search for "Amr Robah complaint" and you'll see his track record of BBB complaints, lawsuits, and mountains of clients swindled and duped on Homestars, TrustedPros.ca and otherwise. Like most frauds, Amr uses many different addresses and companies to keep evading authorities and clients. His reviews speak for themselves and I pity anyone who hires Amr for any work at all.

Avoid this company and it's owner at all costs.

Amr Robah who owns YEJ Studio & Consulting, as well as Revival Design and Management has had his engineering license suspended for a year by the ministry for unlawful practices and conduct issues. Since Google doesn't allow linking, do yourself a favour and look him and his many companies up before proceeding. Start with the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs.

He was brought into our project by the architect we had originally contacted to work on our permit drawings - who coincidentally vanished once Amr took over. A great strategy to avoid people looking you up.

Amr and his "team" quoted an 8-10 day turn around on simple permit drawings, yet after delivering one terrible plan drawing showing the plumbing layout - took over 3 months to deliver unfinished, sloppy, illegally stamped drawings which were rejected by the city multiple times. It took us charging back his fees to have him only half-correct the issues (we had to supplement his juvenile work with detail drawings by another draftsman).

Along the way he made countless excuses, blamed the city, disappeared for weeks at a time, submitted drawings with unsigned, undated engineer's stamps, claimed he had done work he hadn't done, demanded payments before he finished work, and ultimately threatened to lien our house.

There's been a spree of suspiciously glowing reviews this month, all of which contain the same awkward grammar, bad spelling and even the same name spelled differently site to site.

If you're considering this company, take 20 minutes to do your homework on him and his subsidiary companies. And learn from my mistakes and those of many others.

Stay clear of this Company and Amr Robah. Once you pay your money and if your work requires city inspection for completion confirmation, you will find a tough time to get hold of Amr.

All the project taken by him is sub contracted to some other companies and once their job is done, they are gone.

Amr has some serious issues to show some professional decency by not answering his Clients calls. Once he knows your trying to reach him then God help u if your trying to chase him from the same phone number as he seems to identify the caller id and only then pick up your calls.

Good Luck.

Over a year ago, this contractor started a job with trades that didn't know what they were doing. February of this year, I had my lawyer send him a cease and desist order. I hired a forensic consultant to document all the damages. Everything he did is being ripped out and the damages to my attached neighbour have yet to be addressed. I have already spent over $110 000 with another contractor to undo and re-do everything he was hired to do. His work was downright dangerous. For example he built a false wall that the trusses were 12 inches short for the second and third floors (so not sitting on footings at all). This is just one example of the damages that were done. All the while he was working in dangerous conditions and with junk everywhere and workers not using any safety equipment (ie. wearing sandals or torn runners and no hard hats). Garbage was constantly left all over the grounds including all the tree hoarding broken down and trees damaged badly. Feel free to contact me directly for additional details.

I have done the design and permit for internal home renovation. Everything went smooth and my permit got issued in the fast track by Amr help. The service was excellent with reasonable price. I highly recommend Amr service.

After consulting with several companies, we chose Revival Design and Management Group. Amr Robah incorporated our short-term and long-term needs into a practical and beautiful design and provided expertise around mechanical and structural changes, which is crucial for older houses .Amr worked closely with us to keep the project within our budget and on time. Their team was always punctual, friendly, and went out of their way to clean after themselves every day. We are very happy with the renovation and will count on Revival for all our future projects.
