Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation
$410
$285 as Add-On
The purpose of an Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation is to have an Engineer investigate and determine, to the extent possible, the foundation's current condition and any necessary repairs that may be needed immediately and/or in the future.
We understand that foundation issues can be a cause for concern for property owners, and we aim to provide clear and concise information to help you make informed decisions about any repairs needed for your property. .
The evaluation generally includes:
Documenting visual observations made during a physical walkthrough
Observing factors influencing the performance of the foundation
Conducting an interview of occupants/owners/managers regarding a history of the property and foundation
Reviewing pertinent information including Geotech reports, construction drawings, field reports, and repair docs
Providing elevation, deflection, and tilt calculations to assess foundation performance and establish a baseline
Providing a detailed conclusion and Executive Summary.

HUD/ FHA Mobile Home Structural Engineering Inspections
$410
$285 as Add-On
We can perform a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) structural engineering inspection to meet the requirements under the Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing (PFMGH).
We visually assess the existing foundation and determine if a permanent foundation is present, attached, sound, and fully supported per the PFMGH requirements for HUD.
We then customize an engineering report for you and your lender (depending on VA, FHA, or Conventional financing).
Not offered in California (…so sorry).
