Home and Commercial Building Inspections(Sample Report)
BCI offers complete or partial inspections of homes and buildings, including Site Conditions, Roofs, Exterior Components, Structural Components, Building Systems (Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC), and Interior Components. Our inspections and reports are far more detailed than the industry standards.
Structural Inspections
BCI performs inspections of potential problems for home and building owners, and for parties involved in real estate transactions. Some typical examples include evaluation of cracks, foundation settlement/movement, floors that have sagged or are not level, damaged roof or floor trusses, and wood destroying insect damage.
BCI designs repairs and can work with contractors for most structural problems that require the use of a Licensed Professional Engineer.
BCI works with clients who are building houses or additions. It is usually necessary to engage the services of a Licensed Professional Engineer or a Registered Architect to design and specify structural components. In many cases an Architect is not qualified to properly design and detail structural components.
Building Plans Review
BCI works with homeowners or contractors to assure that building plans meet typical building codes and structural requirements. Many municipalities require that plans be reviewed and sealed by a Licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect.
BCI works with insurance companies, product manufacturers, attorneys, or home/building owners to determine the cause of problems in buildings involving structural damage, water penetration, excessive moisture accumulation, construction problems, defective products, etc.
