There are many organizations that endorse and enroll "home inspectors". Some of these organizations, such as the American Society of Home Inspectors, are made up of people who take a class to inspect homes. In this class, they are taught to spot the most common problems that occur in homes and estimate the costs that will be incurred in fixing them.
Though they are trained to catch most common home problems, these inspectors generally have no formal training in construction and engineering, and may therefore have no sound knowledge of the fundamentals behind building principles. In addition, they are not able to respond well to unique building problems, and lack the knowledge and experience to adequately address new obstacles.
Hiring one of these home inspectors might give you temporary peace of mind, that is, until the first subtle problem with your home is discovered. In contrast, Professional Engineers have a variety of experiences and a depth of knowledge that uniquely qualifies them to give your home a thorough inspection. Hiring a professional engineer can give you permanent peace of mind, and will ensure that your investment is fully protected.
Our engineers are fully licensed to operate throughout the New York - New Jersey - Connecticut tri-sate area, and are members of the National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIEŽ). NABIEŽ is a national organization of licensed Professional Engineers who specialize in home inspections, building inspections, condominium unit inspections, and cooperative unit inspections. NABIEŽ is a sub-group of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPEŽ). NSPEŽ is a national organization of licensed Professional Engineers.
In order to stay current on the latest technology, we maintain an active membership in the American Society of Civil Engineers, National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers, American Railway Engineering Association and Maintenance-of-way Association, and National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers.
