Why Choose me?

When faced with potential structural issues—whether it’s a settling foundation, visible cracks, or other signs of damage—your first instinct may be to call a contractor. However, contractors often recommend expensive repairs based on profit-driven motives. By consulting an independent structural engineer first, you’ll get a clear, objective assessment based solely on your property’s needs, not a sales pitch.

Here’s why working with an independent engineering consultant can save you both time and money:

1. Unbiased and Objective Assessments

I am not affiliated with any repair companies, which means I have no incentive to recommend unnecessary repairs or solutions. My goal is to provide you with an honest evaluation, so you have the facts before deciding whether to move forward with any work. This ensures that you get the right solution for your property, not the most expensive one.

2. Prevent Over-Engineering or Overpaying

Many foundation repair contractors may suggest invasive or costly fixes without fully diagnosing the issue. As an independent consultant, I offer solutions tailored to the actual condition of your structure. Some issues may only require monitoring or simple fixes, rather than the major interventions often recommended by contractors.

3. Cost-Savings in the Long Run

By getting an independent analysis upfront, you can potentially avoid costly mistakes. If you contact a contractor first, you may end up paying for unnecessary work or missing the root cause of the problem. My expert analysis ensures that you’re not wasting money on excessive repairs or interventions.

4. Protect Your Investment

Whether it’s your home or a commercial property, the structural integrity of your building is a critical asset. With my thorough, detailed inspection process, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with. If repairs are necessary, I’ll recommend the right scope of work so that you only spend what’s needed to keep your property safe and sound.

5. Transparent Reports and Clear Communication

You’ll receive an in-depth report outlining the condition of your property, complete with photographic evidence, diagrams, and easy-to-understand explanations of any issues found. I take the time to walk you through the report and discuss the next steps. If needed, I’ll even help you communicate with contractors to ensure they understand the findings and implement appropriate solutions.

6. Peace of Mind

Knowing that you’re working with an independent professional dedicated solely to assessing your property’s condition—without the conflict of interest associated with contractors—gives you the confidence that you’re making the right decisions for your property.

When Should You Call Me?

  • If you’ve noticed cracks in walls or floors.
  • If doors or windows are sticking or not closing properly.
  • If you’re seeing uneven floors or foundation settling.
  • If you're buying or selling a property and want an independent structural assessment before making any decisions.
  • If a contractor has already recommended repairs and you’d like a second opinion.
