Criterium-Twin Cities Engineers has performed component evaluations to help homeowner and community associations with their assessment needs since 2011. We are available to assess a wide variety of issues at your buildings. Some recent examples of component evaluations include:
SIDING EVALUATION: Our engineers worked together to inspect the current condition of siding, trim, and brick veneer at each residential building of the Association. From there, a recommended timeline for replacement was created, taking into account the significant variation in age as the original construction occurred over 20 decades. Cost estimates were created with options for a variety of replacement options (e.g. wood, composite, aluminum, etc).
PAVEMENT EVALUATION: The engineer assessed the condition of the existing paved surfaces on-site, including roads and walking paths. From there, recommendations were created for replacement vs. repair options for the Association to consider.
BALCONY EVALUATION: We are currently assisting an association with an evaluation of 40+ balconies at their building. With a phased project, we began with an initial non-intrusive investigation of all of the structures. Armed with that information, we were able to recommend specific balconies for a more detailed evaluation into concealed conditions. Once that is completed, we will be able to make recommendations for the extent of repairs needed.
WATER INTRUSION/EXTERIOR GRADING ISSUES: We have assisted many Associations with evaluations of water intrusion. Our experienced engineers can help determine whether there is a structural issue at play or whether the source of the problem is exterior grading and water control. From there, we can help the Association by recommending some cost-effective solutions to deal with the issue.
