The purchase of a home, building, condominium, or cooperative is a major investment.  A thorough evaluation and narrative engineering reports give you the advantage in making an intelligent purchase decision.  The included written cost 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 will conduct an in-depth engineering investigation.

The State of New York, in their online brochure “What You Should Know About Professional Engineers and Their Services¹”, 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;”.  The State of New York has laws in place to make sure the general public is protected when it comes to selecting engineering services.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Performed by Licensed Professional Engineers

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 newer and less expensive.  Real Estate was often 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 expensive.  There are many concerns that were not even issues a few years back.  Having a pre-purchase inspection performed by an Engineer who provides a written cost analysis has become essential.

Written Cost 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.  A written cost analysis is useful for planning and for negotiating adjustments to the sale price.  The engineering report prepared by Heimer Engineering includes a written cost analysis.  Look at the sample engineering report below:
