The need for structural inspections is growing as the median age of buildings increases in the United States.  Currently, the average age of a commercial building is 53 years old, and the average age of a home is 25 years old.  Inspections for aging buildings are necessary to identify and mitigate issues before they cause life-threatening conditions.

Due Diligence Investigation

Submit a Due Diligence Request

Buying real estate is one of the most stressful but rewarding decisions made in one's lifetime. Although a buyer's inspection is standard protocol, it often takes a structural expert to determine the integrity of the structure, especially for aging buildings. In addition, many insurance underwriters now require wind mitigation inspections to determine if the building has a proper tiedown and anchoring system. Our team can help with providing insight on the structural integrity of the property for peace of mind during the buying process.
