Performed by Licensed Professional Engineers

People choose to buy real estate based on factors including location, appearance, style, 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 coat of paint.”

There was a time when real estate was newer and less expensive.  Homes were often purchased without much concern about whether the building had major problems.  If one was unlucky enough to get a house with significant problems, they suffered with the problems.

In the 1960’s, many post World War I homes were sold as their owners retired.  Some of these homes were poorly constructed or were not well maintained.  Many home buyers faced significant expenses because of these defects.  This is when pre-purchase home inspections began to become popular.

Today, housing is older and even more expensive.  There are many concerns that were not even issues in the 1960’s.  Having a pre-purchase home inspection performed by a Licensed Professional Engineer who provides a written cost analysis in a narrative written engineering report has become essential.  Call 800.640.8090 or use the online form 24/7 to get more information

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:
