Building Assessment & Repair Process

Our building assessment and repair process begins with a building analysis. This involves determining the source and root of building problems and damage that may warrant further investigation and repair. We search for and review all available drawings and documentation pertaining to the job to pinpoint possible trouble spots and perform a brief, non-intrusive visual review. We then discuss the documentation and visual review findings with the parties involved, to advise on whether a further investigation is warranted.

Design development is the next step in our process. To provide our clients with Contract Documents, we review the scope of repair with the Owner to ensure that all aspects are considered. This includes all necessary documentation, permits, and compliance with local building codes and regulations. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the final design meets their needs and expectations.

Projects

We have worked on numerous projects over the years, including multi-family and single-family residences, institutional, and health care facilities. Some of our notable projects include Acacia Condominium in Kirkland, Maple Court in Seattle, and Lakehurst Condominium in Seattle. Each project is unique and requires a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of the client and the building.
