Providing timely, insightful engineering services for real estate, design, construction, and property maintenance needs at reasonable rates. Licensed Professional Engineer over 30 years experience. Giving 100% independent, unbiased advice for your information, safety and peace of mind.
Don’t make the mistake of buying a property that has potentially serious and costly structural/ foundation problems without engineering review. Or letting a good deal fall out of contract when the concerns flagged by a home inspector might be unfounded or overstated. We help our clients understand what they are dealing with, how serious it is or isn’t, and what to do about it when repairs are warranted.
Call or text for a free phone discussion of your structural concerns and a quote for an informal Site Visit for us to look at your structural concerns and give initial consultation. We can then estimate fees for follow-up engineering work such as structural inspections, analysis/ calculations, design, reports, drawings, etc. Same-day or next-day Site Visits may be available for urgent issues.
