When You Need an Inspection

Signs Your Building Needs a Structural Assessment

Not every crack is an emergency — but some are. A licensed structural engineer can tell you the difference, and give you a clear, written plan if repairs are needed.

  • Cracks in foundation walls, brick, or drywall
  • Sagging floors, ceilings, or roof lines
  • Doors and windows that stick or won't close
  • Water intrusion or visible moisture damage
  • Before buying a home or investment property
  • Before starting a renovation, addition, or condo conversion

Transparent Pricing

Clear, Flat Pricing for a Single-Family Home

The same straightforward pricing for a foundation or structural inspection.

$800

Walk-Through Inspection

On-site visual walk-through of a typical single-family home — foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, floor joists, and other readily visible and accessible structural elements — with a verbal report and recommendations during the visit.

$1,500

Written Report

A formal, documented report (photos, findings, and recommendations) for insurance, legal, permitting, or other purposes — PE-stamped where required.

What the walk-through is — and isn't

The walk-through is a limited, visual, non-invasive structural inspection — we assess only what is readily visible and accessible. It does not include destructive or invasive investigation (no cutting, coring, or opening of finishes), testing, or evaluation of concealed, hidden, or inaccessible conditions, and it is not a home inspection, code-compliance certification, warranty, or guarantee. Findings are based on conditions observed at the time of the visit. Anything beyond the walk-through — a written report, 3D LiDAR scanning, repair-design drawings, or further investigation — is a separate, optional service, quoted separately. If a situation calls for expertise outside our scope, we'll say so and refer you to the right specialist — we don't take on work we can't deliver.

Larger or more complex? These are our standard fees for a single-family home within the described scope. For larger properties, commercial buildings, complex damage, or additional services such as full 3D LiDAR modeling or detailed repair plans, send us your scope of work and we'll prepare a precise proposal within 24 hours.

Ready to book an inspection?

Pick a date that suits you and we will call to confirm it. $800 walk-through with verbal recommendations, $1,500 with a written Engineer’s Inspection Letter.

What a visual inspection cannot cover — and what we can add
  • Conditions concealed behind finishes, below grade, or inside sealed assemblies
  • Areas inaccessible, obstructed, or unsafe to enter on the day
  • Remaining service life, or prediction of future failure
  • The cause of a defect, or the method, materials or cost to repair it
  • Code compliance review, unless separately engaged in writing
  • Mold, pests, asbestos, lead, radon, air or water quality
  • Mechanical, electrical, plumbing or fire protection systems
  • Cosmetic conditions

Any of these can be added — tell us what you need and we will quote it.

This is a request, not a confirmed appointment. A Lebra engineer will call you to confirm the date and time before anything is finalized. Please do not take time off work until you have spoken with us.

"I've worked with George and Marcelo on several projects now, and have nothing but GREAT things to say about them. They have been responsive to our clients questions and their plans are clear and very easy to understand. I highly recommend them and as a bonus, they also provide land surveying, so I can work with them as a one stop shop!"

"As a remodeling contractor, having a structural engineer I can actually count on makes all the difference, and that's exactly what we've had with Marcelo and George at Lebra Engineering & Design. We've worked with them for over three years and they're our go-to on every project that needs structural support. They're responsive, efficient, and — most importantly — genuinely available when we need them. Remodels never go exactly to plan, and more than once we've hit a surprise after demo that meant rethinking the structural approach. Every time, Marcelo and George have jumped in quickly to help us modify the plan and keep the job moving. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Highly recommend them to any contractor or homeowner who needs structural engineering done right."

Inspection FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get a structural inspection?
Common triggers include visible cracks in foundations or walls, sagging floors or roof lines, doors/windows that stick, before buying a home, before a renovation or addition, or after a storm, flood, or settling event.
What's the difference between a home inspection and a structural engineering assessment?
A general home inspector performs a broad visual review of a property's systems. A structural engineering assessment is a focused, PE-led evaluation of load-bearing elements, foundations, and framing — often including calculations and repair design.
Do you use 3D scanning during inspections?
Yes, where beneficial. 3D LiDAR scanning captures precise measurements of out-of-plane walls, foundation movement, and framing conditions, supporting more accurate reporting and repair design.
Will I get a written report with repair recommendations?
Yes. Every inspection includes a written report documenting findings, photos, and prioritized, code-compliant repair recommendations.
How quickly can you schedule a structural inspection?
We typically schedule inspections within days, and rush turnaround is available for real estate transactions with tight deadlines.
