CONSULTATION & BUILDING ANALYSIS

A Building Analysis provides an accurate, comprehensive evaluation of any type of building. Reasons for an analysis vary and include preparing for buying or selling, preparing for legal action, evaluating a major repair problem, examining a structure during the post-construction guarantee period or becoming knowledgeable about a property in order to formulate correct maintenance plans.

 

Following the survey work and analysis of your building you will have a precise description of the condition of your building, a scope of work statement explaining work needed to repair conditions discovered during the analysis and an estimated cost statement for each repair.
