Structural & Engineering Evaluations
When an inspection raises a structural question, you need an engineer's answer. Our evaluations are reviewed and sealed by a licensed Florida Professional Engineer (PE) - and you book, talk to and get your report from us. One point of contact, start to finish.
Foundation Evaluation
Precision elevation readings taken across the slab or pier-and-beam foundation, analyzed against accepted construction tolerances. You get a sealed engineering conclusion that explains why - not just a pass or fail.
$485
$385 with a Home Inspection or 4-Point
When you need it
- Cracks in slab, walls, tile or drywall
- Doors and windows sticking or out of square
- Sloping floors or visible settlement
- A buyer, lender or insurer asking for an engineer's letter
What you get
- Digital elevation survey of the foundation
- Written analysis of movement and its likely cause
- Repair recommendation, if any is needed
- Report sealed by a licensed Florida PE
Engineer's Inspection Review
A licensed engineer reviews the photos, measurements and findings from your inspection - cracking, movement, unusual framing - and issues a signed professional opinion on what it means.
$200
When you need it
- Your inspection flagged a possible structural concern
- You need an engineer's opinion before closing or negotiating
- You want to know if a full evaluation is really needed
What you get
- Engineer review of the documented condition
- Signed and sealed professional opinion letter
- Clear next steps (monitor, repair, or evaluate further)
Damaged Truss Evaluation
Structural assessment of cracked, cut, notched, water-damaged or modified roof trusses, with engineered repair guidance your contractor can follow.
$200
When you need it
- Broken, split or altered trusses found in the attic
- Trusses cut for HVAC, attic stairs or storage
- Storm, leak or termite damage to roof framing
What you get
- Assessment of the damaged members

Load-Bearing Wall Evaluation
Find out whether a wall is carrying structural load before you remodel, open up a kitchen or remove it - and what support is required if it is.
$200
When you need it
- Planning to remove or open up a wall
- A wall was already removed by a previous owner
- Your contractor or permit office needs an engineer's determination
What you get
- Load-bearing determination for the wall in question
- Support or beam recommendation when needed
- Sealed letter for your contractor and permit file
Repair Cost Report
Every deficiency in your inspection report gets a realistic, line-item repair or replacement cost - so buyers and agents can negotiate with real numbers instead of guesses.
$75
When you need it
- Negotiating repairs or credits after an inspection
- Budgeting for repairs on a new home
- Sellers pricing a home with known issues
What you get
- Line-item cost for every inspection finding
- Repair vs. replace estimates
- Engineer-reviewed and sealed

Who performs the engineering evaluation?
Every evaluation is reviewed and sealed by a licensed Florida Professional Engineer (PE). We schedule it, gather the on-site data and deliver the sealed report to you - you deal only with us from start to finish.
How long does it take?
Most engineering reports are delivered within about 2 business days after the site visit or after we receive your inspection data.
Can I add an engineering evaluation to my home inspection or 4-Point?
Yes. When you book a Home Inspection or 4-Point you can add a Foundation Evaluation for $385 (instead of $485 on its own), a Repair Cost Report for $75, or an Engineer's Inspection Review for $200.
My inspection found cracks. Do I need a full foundation evaluation?
Not always. An Engineer's Inspection Review ($200) lets a licensed engineer look at the documented cracking and tell you whether it is cosmetic, needs monitoring, or calls for a full Foundation Evaluation.
How is a cost segregation study priced?
Cost segregation is quoted per property based on its size, type and purchase price. Call us or send a request and we will get you a custom quote.
