Website & General Terms of Use

Version 1.0 · Effective August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the website www.PrietoEngineering.com (the "Site") and general inquiries made to J.F. Prieto Engineering Construction, Inc. ("JFPEC," "we," "us"). By using the Site or contacting us, you agree to these Terms. Construction services themselves are governed by our written proposals, contracts, and Standard Terms and Conditions — not by this page.

1. About JFPEC

JFPEC is a California-licensed general engineering and building contractor (CSLB License #525452, Class A and C-8) serving commercial, industrial, municipal, and private-sector clients. Our services include concrete construction and masonry; asphalt and pavement maintenance; civil grading and earthwork; underground utilities; demolition; commercial tenant improvements and general construction; ground-up general contracting and real estate development; facility maintenance; and emergency and rapid-response services.

2. No Offer; Estimates and Proposals

2.1 Content on the Site — including service descriptions, project photos, and any pricing references — is for general information only and is not an offer, quotation, or commitment to perform work.

2.2 Budgetary figures discussed by phone, email, or in preliminary conversations are good-faith estimates only. JFPEC is bound only by a written proposal signed or accepted in accordance with its terms, together with JFPEC’s Standard Terms and Conditions.

2.3 Unless stated otherwise on its face, a written JFPEC proposal is valid for thirty (30) days from its date. The latest issued version of any proposal supersedes all prior versions in their entirety.

2.4 Site visits, walkthroughs, and plan reviews performed to prepare an estimate do not create a contract and do not obligate either party to proceed.

3. Communications

3.1 The official channel for project communications and document delivery is projects@prietoengineering.com. Please direct proposals, plans, bid invitations, and contract correspondence there.

3.2 Text messages, voicemails, and conversations with field personnel are welcome for coordination, but they do not constitute notice to JFPEC and cannot change the scope, price, or schedule of any project. Direction affecting scope, price, or schedule is effective only in writing from an authorized representative.

3.3 Submitting plans or project information to us does not create a confidential or contractual relationship, though we handle client information with care and treat executed-project records as confidential business records.

3.4 We aim to respond to bid invitations and inquiries promptly during regular business hours. Emergency and rapid-response service requests should be made by phone at (800) 606-3880 ext. 1.

4. Services, Changes, and Payment — Summary

The following summarizes standard practices that apply to JFPEC projects; the full provisions appear in our Standard Terms and Conditions and in each contract:

Scope is defined by the written proposal’s Scope of Work, Inclusions, and Exclusions. Anything not expressly included is excluded.
All changes require a written, signed change order before the changed work begins. We do not accept oral change directives.
Client-facing pricing is lump sum (or stated T&M rates). Internal cost data, rates, and markups are confidential and are not provided.
Invoices are progress-billed and due net 30 unless the contract states otherwise; late amounts may accrue a service charge as permitted by law.
Workmanship is warranted against defects in materials and installation for the period stated in the contract, subject to the warranty conditions and exclusions stated there.

5.2 JFPEC trademarks, logos, and trade names may not be used without written consent. Project photographs may depict work performed under specific site conditions; they are illustrative and not a representation of results for any other project.

Consult qualified professionals, and rely only on documents JFPEC issues for your specific project.
