How Can We Be of
Service?
Ben Franklin
admonished us that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The Service we provide
is that "Ounce of Prevention." However, if it is too late for the "ounce of prevention," we are also
here to provide you with the "Pound of Cure."
Aside from the fact
that the Building Code requires most structures to be engineered in order to provide Life Safety
to the Public, engineering for your structure provides you with other
benefits that help you achieve your
objectives and avoid some costly mistakes.
For example, in the
design of building renovation projects, getting a Structural Condition
Assessment first from an engineer with solid
experience in renovation, repairs, and retrofit work will help you reduce your risk
of extra construction costs due to problems with unforeseen existing conditions.
