Engineering Reports
Professional written structural engineering reports prepared by licensed engineers — suitable for real estate, insurance, legal, and permitting purposes
Professional Structural Engineering Reports
A professionally written engineering report prepared by a licensed structural engineer is often the most important deliverable in a structural engineering engagement. Whether used to support a real estate transaction, document storm damage for an insurance claim, provide evidence in litigation, or obtain a building permit, the quality and clarity of the engineering report directly affects its usefulness to the client.
AO Engineers, LLC prepares professional structural engineering reports that are thorough, clearly written, and appropriately documented. Our reports are prepared by licensed professional engineers and present findings, analysis, and recommendations in language that is understandable to non-engineers while meeting the technical standards expected by engineers, attorneys, and other professionals who may review them.
Types of Engineering Reports We Prepare
Structural Inspection Reports
Following an on-site structural inspection, AO Engineers prepares a written inspection report documenting observed structural conditions, identifying deficiencies, assessing their significance, and providing recommendations. Our inspection reports include photographic documentation and are formatted for clarity and completeness.
Foundation Evaluation Reports
Foundation evaluation reports document the results of a foundation inspection, including observed foundation conditions, crack documentation, settlement indicators, and engineering assessment of foundation performance. Recommendations for repair, monitoring, or further investigation are provided.
Building Condition Assessment Reports
Building condition assessment reports provide a comprehensive documentation of the structural condition of a building, including a systematic inventory of observed conditions, deficiency ratings, prioritized recommendations, and estimated repair costs where applicable.
Forensic Engineering Reports
Forensic engineering reports document the methodology, findings, analysis, and conclusions of a forensic structural investigation. These reports are prepared to meet the documentation standards required for use in litigation, arbitration, and insurance claim resolution, and include all information necessary to support the engineer's opinions.
Expert Opinion Letters
For matters requiring a concise engineering opinion rather than a full investigation report, AO Engineers prepares expert opinion letters addressing specific structural questions. Expert opinion letters are commonly used in real estate transactions, permit applications, and preliminary legal matters.
Property Condition Assessment Reports
PCAs prepared in accordance with ASTM E2018 standards document the physical condition of commercial properties and provide cost estimates for immediate repairs and long-term capital needs. These reports are formatted to meet lender and investor requirements for commercial real estate transactions.
Report Delivery
AO Engineers delivers reports electronically in PDF format, typically within three to five business days of completing the field inspection or investigation. Rush delivery may be available for time-sensitive matters. Please discuss scheduling and delivery requirements when contacting us.
