Expense Analysis
It is of little use to know that a problem or defect exists unless you also know what it is going to cost to correct the problem. Therefore, an inspection on an existing house or building should include a written cost analysis. The engineering report prepared by the Licensed Professional Engineers (who are also Licensed Home Inspectors) from Heimer Engineering includes an expense analysis. Below is a Sample Heimer® Home Inspection Report:
Heimer
Engineering's Engineers have access to the same up-to-date cost estimating
guides that are available to contractors. The written analysis
gives you the information you need to make an informed choice.
This cost analysis is valuable for planning and any needed negotiations.
The the Licensed Professional Engineer (who is also a Licensed Home Inspector) Heimer Engineering sends to perform the inspection is not a contractor looking to sell you work. This is to your advantage, since an Engineer's ethical standards demand there is never a conflict of interest in the advice they provide. You are never told a repair is needed unless it is truly needed. Heimer Engineering does not sell or even recommend the services of any contractor.
Beware of contractors who perform inspections and offer to do the repairs they recommend. There is a conflict of interest!
