Unlike with routine building inspections, many homeowners and building managers are uncertain about when or if it is necessary to schedule a structural engineer inspection, and how this might differ from a standard assessment. Knowing when to initiate an investigation using a structural engineer can help you uncover conditions and structural deficits that could be overlooked in a home or building inspection.
If you are the owner of a private residence or manage a commercial building, flaws such as roof sagging or leaking, cracked walls, water infiltration or other obvious damage all warrant a consultation with a structural engineer. Inspection by an engineer will expose not only the full extent of the damage, but also will uncover conditions that caused it. In addition to structural inspections, engineers provide seismic inspections and other types of specialized inspections that can be used to upgrade existing buildings and structures.
