About Us

Normally, a one or two man inspection team can handle simple commercial complexes, such as a warehouse, or a one story shopping center. For more complex structures we can pull together professional engineers, electrical engineers, civil engineers and environmentalists. For such commercial complexes there is usually a free pre-inspection walkthrough to determine the professionals that will be needed to complete an inspection, the scope of which is normally negotiated with a buyer or a possible tenant.
Below is a list of resumes for our three most frequent inspectors:
