During a real estate transaction, structural concerns are sometimes flagged in a home inspection report or negotiated as part of a Property Inspection Contingency Removal Addendum, commonly known as a PICRA. These concerns often involve crawlspace framing, attic framing, foundations, floor sloping, cracks, or prior repairs.

Riley Residential Structural Engineering provides practical structural evaluations for buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and contractors who need clear engineering guidance during a transaction. After the site visit, preliminary verbal feedback can often be provided, followed by a written engineering report when included in the scope of work.

Engineering reports can help clarify the nature of the concern, identify whether repairs are recommended, and provide contractors or handymen with clear structural repair guidance when repairs are needed. Typical report turnaround is within one week after the site visit, depending on project complexity and scope.
