SAFETY & VALUE ASSURANCE

Expert Repair Guidance: We help you to identify deficiencies and design building repair programs to restore damaged or deteriorated structures. Our expertise addresses issues such as, foundation settlement, framing failures and other damage caused by aging, environmental conditions, accidents, or poor construction practices.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation: We go beyond simple repairs by addressing existing issues and integrating structural upgrades that improve overall condition and performance. Our rehabilitation services enhance resistance to future deterioration, improve load-carrying capacity, and extend the service life of your structures using modern engineering practices, materials, and technologies for long-term performance and sustainability.

Reinforcement and Strengthening: We ensure stability, safety, and integrity while extending the building’s service life. This includes addressing issues caused by foundation settlement, seismic activity, changes in loading conditions, material deterioration, or poor initial construction practices.

SB326/SB721 Compliance: For homeowner associations, we inspect exterior elevated elements (decks, balconies, walkways, etc.) as required. Our services include performing site reconnaissance and statistical random sampling for both market-rate and for-rent wood-framed multifamily building exterior elevated elements, ensuring compliance with state regulations.

• Inspection Compliance: We provide visual investigations for deficiencies (structural and waterproofing assembly) of exterior elevated elements, ensuring compliance with SB326/SB721 before the January 1, 2025, deadline and every nine years thereafter.
• Statistical Sampling: For market-rate housing and common interest communities, we conduct complex sampling that yields 95% confidence with ±5% variance. For-rent (apartments) sampling comprises a minimum of 15%.
• Comprehensive Reports: Our reports categorize deficiencies into five categories (life-safety, 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, or 10-years) and provide specific recommendations. Communities are required to address life-safety deficiencies, while other deficiencies are at their discretion, helping to inform reserve studies and future capital improvement plans.
• Minimized Disruption: We coordinate investigations with community representatives to minimize on-site disruption and present our reports upon completion.
