BC 1704.20.1 requires periodic structural stability inspection of existing buildings to confirm that structural elements remain sound and that no conditions have developed that compromise the building's stability. ECC's engineers assess visible structural elements - framing, connections, foundations where accessible, and facade-related structural conditions - documenting their condition and identifying any deterioration that requires further evaluation or repair.
Where conditions warrant, we recommend the scope of remediation needed and can coordinate the follow-up inspections required to confirm repairs were completed correctly.
Our inspection reports give ownership the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance with periodic structural inspection requirements, and a clear record to reference for future capital planning.
