Supports mandatory retrofit ordinances in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Oakland and Portland, and produces Probable Maximum Loss (PML) estimates for lenders.

Key inspection points

  • Soft, weak or open front story conditions
  • Cripple wall and foundation bolting
  • Non-ductile concrete detailing
  • Unreinforced masonry wall anchorage

How the scope is structured

When you accept the proposal, these scopes flow into your project automatically. Each engineer works and signs off one scope at a time, and every checkpoint below becomes a recorded finding with a condition, a severity and photographic evidence.
