How it works

Free Consultation

To start, a Design Everest associate schedules a consultation with you to fully understand your needs.
Quick Turnaround

Once we understand your needs, we are quick to schedule the on-site visit by an experienced engineer at the agreed time.
Evaluation

The engineer's evaluation is delivered to you in a written report or verbally, as per your requirement.

On-Site Structural Evaluation Services

Whether you are buying a new building and want an evaluation before you make your big purchase, or you are concerned about cracks, sloping, settlement or any other structural issues in your existing building, Design Everest's experienced and licensed engineers can perform an on-site structural evaluation to address your concerns. Additionally, our structural engineers can also help you understand whether the structure can support any plans that you may have for it.

The engineer inspects various aspects of your building such as the foundation, framing, shear walls, load-bearing walls, and building envelope. A written or verbal report of the structural evaluation is provided on completing a thorough inspection.

In addition to the evaluation, Design Everest can help you with the necessary structural engineering plans and calculations to bring your building up to code to proceed with the permits and construction.

I reached out to Design Everest while looking for a residential structural engineering inspection in what happened to be a very short time window. Although I did not end up needing the inspection in the end, the agent who worked with me (Brittany) displayed the utmost professionalism and responsiveness in communicating between me and the potential inspector on the requirements of my request and timing, including communication after business hours to get everything lined up. This interaction gave me confidence that Design Everest is a well-run organization. As a result, I would definitely look to Design Everest for a structural engineering inspection project in the future.

I would like to thank Design Everest and Dan Naum on a job well done. I called Design Everest to inspect my townhouse because I was having problems with the HOA. When Dan arrived to my residence, the first thing he did was ask what was my issues and what I wanted from him. I explained my situation and Dan took it from there. He did a thorough job and explained what his findings were. Once again great job from Design Everest and especially Dan Naum.
