Standard Home Inspection
|
|
|
Criterium Engineers Standard Home Inspection is a limited visual inspection designed to identify significant deficiencies and/or repairs needed in the major systems of a home (structural, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior) and to provide a general understanding of the property's current condition.
|
|
Exhaustive Home Inspection
|
|
|
This includes a Standard Inspection plus invasive testing and/or equipment disassembly (as approved in advance by you and the property owner). The purpose is to gather all available and relevant information about the property. This more extensive inspection goes beyond the available visible evidence and provides an even more thorough analysis.
|
|
Structural Inspection
|
|
|
This includes an inspection and evaluation of the structural components of the home, including the condition of the foundation and the framing. Activities such as probing with an awl, measuring framing members, and limited excavation around the foundation. The determination of squareness, level, and plumb may be included in such an evaluation. The most frequent use of this type of inspection is the investigation of distress in a structure. For example, the investigation of cracks in the foundation wall is a common scope of work.
|
|
Roof Inspection
|
|
|
It includes an on-site evaluation of the home's roof system including surface, framing, penetrations, appurtenances, and structural support, performed by either going directly on the roof or with binoculars when the roof is not accessible.
|
|
Trouble Shooting and Diagnostics
|
|
|
These are assignments to diagnose specific problems; why is something happening and what should be done to correct it. Inspections are objective, free of any interest in the methods used or construction costs to correct the problem. The results are practical. Criterium Engineers will tell you when a perceived problem is something that is typical or when repairs are needed.
|
|
Repair Design
|
|
|
It includes an engineering design to repair structural deficiencies in the foundation or framing. A design, signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer, is usually required before repairs can be made.
|
|
New Construction Inspection
|
|
|
It includes an on-site evaluation of a newly constructed home. Similar to a pre-purchase inspection, a new construction inspection may include a list of defects to be corrected by the builder prior to occupancy or ownership.
|
|
Progress Inspections
|
|
|
They include regular inspections during the construction of your new home. Inspections set at predetermined stages of construction are the best way to ensure quality throughout the construction process.
|
|
Insurance Claims Inspection
|
|
|
This is an on-site evaluation of damage to a home due to conditions that may be covered by insurance (such as storms or fires). The report often states the probable cause of the damage, the severity of the damage, and any recommendations for its cure.
|
|
Property Condition Assessments
|
|
|
Criterium Engineers' reports contain information about a structure and its components vital to investment and finance decision making. The Property Condition Assessment Report provides appropriate due diligence for a real estate transaction.
|
|
Condominium Reserve Studies
|
|
|
The Criterium Engineers Reserve Study combines an engineering review of building components with a financial analysis to determine what must be set aside on a periodic basis in a capital reserve fund. In our analysis, we employ software developed exclusively for Criterium Engineers by KPMG Peat Marwick.
