Structural Inspection FAQs for Edmonton

What makes a structural inspection different from a home inspection?
A home inspection covers general systems such as electrical and plumbing. We focus exclusively on structure and provide engineering backed evaluation.

When should I book a structural inspection?

  • Buying a home and want certainty
  • Planning a renovation or wall removal
  • Noticing cracks, sticking doors, or sloping floors
  • Preparing to list a home and want to resolve concerns
  • After extreme weather, flooding, or ground movement

Can I remove a wall without an inspection?
No. If the wall is structural, removing it without engineering guidance is unsafe. We assess and recommend proper solutions.

How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take one to two hours, with reports delivered in one to three business days.

Do I need an engineer’s report for a permit?
Yes. Structural modifications such as wall removals or foundation changes require an engineer sealed report.

Do you work with contractors, realtors, and buyers?
Yes. We support homeowners, builders, designers, and real estate professionals.
