What is a structural inspection or pre-purchase structural inspection?
A structural inspection is a detailed evaluation of a building’s structural components such as beams, load-bearing walls, foundations, floors, and the overall stability of the structure.It is performed by a qualified structural engineer to identify defects, risks, or signs of deterioration that may affect the safety of the property.
A pre-purchase structural inspection is carried out before buying a home or property.Its purpose is to detect hidden structural issues and provide the buyer with a clear understanding of the building’s condition, including:
Cracks in foundations or slabs
sagging floors or roofs
load-bearing wall problems
moisture-related structural damage
beam or column weaknesses
structural modifications done without engineering approval
The engineer then provides a detailed report with findings, recommendations, and repair solutions.
