Building Evaluations

BC&E provides a wide-range of evaluation services for buildings and other structures. Structural investigations involve nearly all types of structural systems such as cast-in-place, precast, pre-stressed, and post-tensioned concrete structures, steel and wood-framed structures, and masonry structures. Additionally, foundation problems and problems with concrete slabs-on-grade and pavements are evaluated.

Many of these building evaluations occur after the building has experienced some type of problem or damage, such as from water leakage or due to exposure to the exterior environment. The type, extent, and range of the building evaluation is dependent on the unique set of circumstances related to the problem or damage, as is the design of the repairs to correct those conditions.

In certain circumstances, BC&E performs building evaluations during the construction of new buildings and structures, as may be deemed necessary by building owners, designers, contractors, and lenders.
