I understand you need a comprehensive structural inspection for your unpermitted addition, similar to a recent project where I identified critical load-bearing issues in a pre-code garage conversion, ensuring legal occupancy. My focus will be on delivering a detailed report that addresses your specific concerns regarding foundation, electrical, and plumbing, as well as overall construction quality. My approach involves a multi-faceted inspection. I'll utilize laser scanning for precise dimensional analysis and to identify any structural anomalies or deviations from standard practices. Non-destructive testing methods will be employed for the foundation, and I'll conduct thorough visual inspections of electrical and plumbing systems, cross-referencing with current building codes. My report will detail findings, potential risks, and recommendations for compliance. Given the unpermitted nature, have you encountered specific code discrepancies during prior evaluations? Also, what is the primary goal for the inspection beyond legal compliance – is it to ascertain future renovation potential or solely to meet current requirements? I’m available for a brief call to discuss your project in more detail and how I can best assist.

Unpermitted additions always present risks with unknown materials or previous work, so I verify structural integrity by examining the foundation and load-bearing elements directly. I will perform a detailed structural inspection focusing on the foundation and overall construction quality, documenting findings with clear notes and sketches. This also covers the electrical and plumbing systems. What year was the original unpermitted addition constructed? I need the property address to start.
