STRUCTURAL EVALUATION
Throughout the life-cycle of a building, the structure may experience a change in use, damage from a storm or may just be showing its age. We provide several different types of structural evaluations to fit whatever needs your existing building project may require.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
- Structural evaluation of existing buildings for adaptive reuse
- Early-phase information to assist in the decisions process, budget, and schedule
- Critical structural findings allowing the owner to make an educated decision
- Analysis of structure components
- Feasibility studies for: a new roof top mechanical equipment, roof decks, green roofs, new atriums, skylights, elevator shafts or stairways, etc.
