The purchase of a home, building, condominium unit, or cooperative unit is a major investment.  A thorough evaluation and engineering reports give you the advantage in making an intelligent purchase decision.  The expense analysis helps you understand the expenses of owning the home or building, and can be helpful in negotiating the sale price.  Whether it is the purchase of a small home or a large building, Heimer Engineering conducts an in-depth engineering examination.

The State of New York, in their online brochure "What You Should Know About Professional Engineers and Their Services"1, states one of the reasons that you should use a Licensed Professional Engineer is to  "evaluate the structural integrity, electrical, and/or mechanical systems of a house prior to purchase or renovation".

Pre-Purchase Inspections
Performed by Licensed Professional Engineers
who are also licensed as
Home Inspectors

When buying a home, a Heimer inspection is your best protection!People choose to buy real estate based on factors including location, layout, value, etc.  Few people make a purchase decision based only on condition.  It is easy to say "I'll fix that," or "All this house needs is a little work."

There was a time when real estate was purchased without much concern about whether the building had major problems.  If one was unlucky enough to get a building with significant problems, they suffered.

Today, buildings are older and have more defects.  There are many concerns that were not even issues a few years back.  Having a pre-purchase inspection performed by an Engineer has become essential.

Expense Analysis

It is of little use to know that a problem or defect exists unless you also know what it is going to cost you to correct the problem.  The expense analysis is useful for planning and for negotiating adjustments to the sale price.  The engineering report prepared by Heimer Engineering includes an expense analysis.  Click here to view a sample home inspection report.
