Structural Engineering for Real Estate Transactions

Professional structural evaluations for home buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. We provide the technical clarity needed to resolve inspection hurdles, satisfy lender requirements, and move toward a confident closing.

Supporting Your Path to Closing

Home Inspection Resolution: When a general home inspection identifies a “potential structural issue,” we provide the expert PE evaluation required to determine the actual severity and safety of the structure.
Foundation & Settlement Evaluations: Targeted assessments of foundation cracks, bowing walls, or sloping floors that may be flagged by lenders or buyers during the due diligence period.
HUD/FHA/VA Certifications: Providing the official engineering certifications required for specific government-backed loan programs, including permanent foundation certificates for manufactured homes.
Pre-Listing Consultations: Helping sellers identify and address structural concerns before a home hits the market to prevent unexpected delays during the sale process.

Our Transaction Workflow

Step 1: Priority Scheduling

We understand that real estate deadlines are non-negotiable. We offer priority scheduling for time-sensitive transactions to ensure your inspection contingency window is met.

Step 2: On-Site Expert Evaluation

A Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) performs a focused evaluation of the specific structural concerns, providing an immediate, high-level verbal summary followed by a detailed investigation.

Step 3: Clear, Actionable Reporting

You receive a formal, PE-stamped report that clearly states the condition of the structure. If repairs are necessary, we provide the specifications your contractor needs to provide an accurate bid.

Why Choose an Independent Engineer?

The “Repair-First” Contractor

Many companies that provide structural “inspections” also perform the repairs. This creates a built-in conflict of interest where they may profit from recommending expensive, sometimes unnecessary, foundation piering or basement systems.

Brentwood Solutions Group

We are independent engineering consultants, not contractors. We do not perform repairs, meaning our only goal is to provide you with the truth. If your home is sound, we will tell you. If repairs are necessary, we provide unbiased, stamped specifications so you can get fair, competitive bids.
