With over 20 years of construction expertise, we identify structural, mechanical, and environmental concerns while offering practical solutions. Clients receive detailed reports with photographic evidence and repair recommendations, ensuring informed decision-making for one of life's largest investments.
Building Envelope Inspection
This specialized inspection evaluates a property's exterior defenses against weather exposure. We examine roofs, windows, doors, and foundation interfaces to detect moisture intrusion points. Our analysis includes 360-degree assessments of drainage systems and flashing effectiveness, crucial for maintaining structural integrity in West Kootenay's unique climate conditions.
Pre-Renovation Consultation
Before starting renovations, our consultations identify hidden structural issues and compliance requirements. We assess existing conditions to help clients budget accurately for upgrades while avoiding costly surprises. This service includes detailed evaluations of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems to ensure renovation plans align with current property conditions.
Commercial Inspections
We provide comprehensive assessments for commercial properties, focusing on structural integrity, safety compliance, and operational systems. Our inspections cover building envelopes, mechanical systems, and ADA accessibility requirements. Clients receive actionable reports to support investment decisions and risk management strategies for non-residential properties.
