Structural ASSESSMENTS
Being aware of your building's structural health is hugely important. A structural assessment is a powerful tool that can be used to draw attention to structural issues, as well as help guide to the contractor making repairs.

Structural assessments are essential, because they can uncover things that are easily missed by the untrained eye. Using the information learned from an assessment, our clients are able to make informed decisions regarding the future of their buildings.
How Does THE ASSESSMENT WORK?
There are a few key pieces of criteria that Julien Engineering & Consulting, Inc. uses when assessing a building which, combined with more specific criteria, help us properly determine its state.
The building's overall condition
We closely examine all aspects of the buildings infrastructure to determine its current condition.
Its current capacity
Every building is designed with a specific capacity in mind. Where does yours currently fall? If you're looking to increase the number of occupants, can the building accommodate them while remaining structurally sound?
Its level of functionality
Is your building still able to fulfill its assigned purpose, and will it continue to do so in the future?
Its predicted lifespan
No building lasts forever, so we examine your building's current state and make an assessment as to how much longer it can continue to serve its purpose.
