FAQ
Can you evaluate the existing garage slab?
I can review documented slab thickness, reinforcement, support conditions and proposed loads. If those details are unknown, the slab portion will be limited and the missing information will be identified.
Can you assess an existing garage roof with manufactured trusses?
Yes, as a documented load review when truss information and the proposed changes are supplied. Cutting, drilling or altering manufactured trusses is not automatically included.
Does this include insulation, moisture or ventilation planning?
No. This Gig covers the agreed floor, wall and roof load assessment. Moisture protection, insulation, ventilation, electrical work and mechanical systems require separate specialists.
