Engineers as your Advocate

One of the most valuable investments people make is in infrastructure like a new home or a bakery shop remodel. How do you know if things are done correctly so you don’t have to pay legal fees when you try to sell it? Is everything being done as it should be? Did the fallen tree branch after the storm affect my property? Is the contractor I hired to move a wall doing a good-quality job? All these questions are still hard to answer in the age of information. Just as people often seek a second opinion for a major healthcare decision, they shouldn’t hesitate to seek a consultation or an inspection. Often, homeowners don’t understand the role and value an engineer brings. The cost to hire us a third party is a small price for protection your valuable investment. All it takes is a call and an inspection on site. A lot of projects we get is something being built without permits, making the structure illegal and difficult to be accepted by the jurisdiction after the fact. The owners were unaware of this mission of their contractor until it was too late to file the appropriate documents to ensure the building is safe and up to current code. Being proactive pays off in the end. A simple consultation will ensure your construction project is on track.
