Altered or Damaged Structural Members
We assess notched, cut, or deteriorated joists, beams, studs, and other load-carrying members to ensure safety and compliance with the International Residential Code (IRC) and local building standards. -

If you're planning interior renovations, adding new floor levels, or constructing from the ground up, we provide structural inspections to ensure the design and framing comply with building codes. -
Load-Bearing Wall Assessments
Thinking of removing or modifying a wall? We evaluate whether it's load-bearing and recommend appropriate reinforcements (such as headers, beams, or columns) if removal is planned. -
Foundation Crack Inspections
We investigate cracks in concrete, masonry, or stone foundations to determine structural significance, moisture intrusion risk, and whether repairs or reinforcements are required. -
Building Permit Support & Reports
We prepare stamped engineering letters or reports required for building permits, “make-safe” notices, or construction hold releases from Philadelphia L&I and other local municipalities.
