Engineering assessments and reports.

Site reviews and professional reports for conditions that need more than a general observation.

Roof truss connections and structural framing reviewed in an attic
Structural condition assessment

A useful report answers the question it was commissioned to address.

A useful assessment connects observed conditions to structural behaviour, limitations and a practical next step.

Before the visit, Kernel confirms the condition being reviewed, the intended use and the appropriate form of documentation. The report then separates observed facts, engineering interpretation, limitations and next steps.
