A licensed engineer will visit your property to assess the work and identify what’s out of compliance.

Illegally Built Structures

We provide engineering plans or corrections for sheds, garages, patios, or other structures built without proper permits.

Not at all. This service is about evaluating your situation and giving you clarity. If permits are needed, we’ll explain the process—but there’s no obligation to proceed beyond the consultation.
