Condition Survey
Engineering Diagnostics performs condition surveys of existing buildings and parking garages to establish a baseline to assist the client in selecting a course of action. Condition surveys often culminate in recommendations for repair and maintenance planning, or as part of “due diligence” for property transfers. The specific scope and objective of each survey are tailored to meet each client’s needs while maintaining a professional standard of care. These services may include any of the following:
