Home Inspection or Engineering Analysis?

If you're buying a house you probably need to know a number of things about that home before you buy it. One of the most important items is to determine the condition its in. Knowing what you're getting is only half the battle. Knowing the condition it's in is the other half.These types of answers can be obtained from a professional Inspector during a visual examination of the home. A professional Home Inspector has the ability to look at a home and determine its condition.Over the years people have had their homes given a "second look" by all sorts of people, etc. or simply those who have owned a home or two before. To complicate matters, in the past, consumers have incorrectly thought that an engineer (or architect perhaps) is required to perform an inspection. While some of these groups of individuals may have some understanding about the condition of the building and property they do not necessarily possess all of the skills required to professionally inspect an entire home.

Home Inspections do not involve engineering analysis.

Engineering amongst other things involves tests, measurements, and analysis like performing a "load test" on a third storey balcony. Commonly the engineering analysis is conducted on one item only and can take a significant amount of time and money. These types of tests are usually only required when a visual examination reveals a potential problem area which would warrant this type of focused analysis.

ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTIONS

It affects us all.

Today, more and more people are concerned about our environment. It affects us all…at home, at work or simply everywhere you go. Naturally, there are the health concerns that stem from environmental issues, but there’s also a financial side to it as well. It includes the potential healthcare costs for individuals, employees, employers and the likes, as well as the financial liability and responsibility for those responsible for the creation and clean-up relating to those environmental concerns.
