THE RIGHT SUPPORT

Start with the question
you need answered.

Cracking, movement or an undocumented alteration can leave you uncertain about the next step. We begin with the question you need answered and the information available, then define an appropriate review. Findings may lead to recommendations, further investigation or a project-specific structural letter, depending on the conditions and the agreed scope of the assignment.

Is this your project?

  • You have noticed a concern in framing, foundations or another structural element.
  • A previous alteration has limited or incomplete documentation.
  • Your project needs a structural opinion or a defined engineering letter.
WHAT WE DO

A clearly defined scope.

01

Site review

Inspect the relevant visible conditions and consider available records for the question being assessed.

02

Findings and next steps

Explain observations, identify where more information is needed and recommend appropriate next steps.

03

Structural letters

Prepare project-specific letters, sealed by the responsible Professional Engineer following the required review or assessment.

What you can receive

  • A record of findings appropriate to the agreed assessment.
  • Recommendations for repairs or further investigation where applicable.
  • A structural letter when it is the appropriate agreed deliverable.

Deliverables are confirmed with your project scope.

What helps us get started

  • Property location and a description of the concern or request.
  • Relevant photographs, drawings and information about previous work.
  • The requested letter purpose and any questions from the recipient.
HOW IT WORKS

From inquiry
to deliverable.

  1. Clarify the question

    Discuss the concern, the intended use of the findings and the records available.

  2. Assess the conditions

    Confirm the review scope, arrange the site visit and identify any additional information required.

  3. Explain the findings

    Provide the agreed documentation and discuss recommendations or further investigation arising from the assessment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

A few useful answers.

Can an assessment be completed from photographs?

Photographs help explain an inquiry, but may not establish the cause or extent of a concern. We determine what records and site investigation the assessment requires.

Does every inspection result in a sealed letter?

The deliverable depends on the question and review scope. We agree whether an assessment report, structural letter or other documentation is appropriate before proceeding.

Can you seal an existing letter or drawing?

Professional responsibility requires an appropriate review of the work. Share the document and its purpose so the necessary investigation and engineering scope can be established.
