Structural Inspections in Calgary, Alberta

Expert Assessments by Licensed Engineers—Because Your Home’s Stability Isn’t a Guessing Game

Whether you're buying, selling, renovating, or concerned about cracks or shifting in your home, a professional structural inspection gives you clarity, peace of mind, and a plan.

At Calgary Structural Engineers, we provide detailed, engineer-led structural inspections for homes throughout Calgary and surrounding areas. Our inspections identify potential or existing problems with your home’s foundation, framing, or structure—before they become costly.

Our Residential Structural Inspection Services Include:

Foundation Inspections
Identify cracks, movement, water intrusion, or settlement issues affecting your slab or foundation walls.

Load-Bearing Wall Evaluations
Planning to open up your layout? We’ll determine if a wall is structural and provide safe alternatives if it is.

Framing & Roof Structure Checks
We inspect your framing for sagging joists, undersized beams, roof deflection, and improper construction.

Structural Damage Assessments
Investigate signs of damage from moisture, pests, improper renovations, or age-related deterioration.

Pre-Purchase & Pre-Sale Structural Reviews
Ensure you know exactly what you’re buying—or give buyers peace of mind when selling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a structural inspection different from a home inspection?
Home inspectors provide general overviews of systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). We focus solely on the structure—foundation, walls, beams, floors, and roof systems—backed by engineering analysis.

When should I get a structural inspection?

• Buying a home and want confidence before closing
• Planning a renovation or wall removal
• Noticing new cracks, sticking doors, or sloping floors
• Selling and want to resolve concerns ahead of time
• After major storms, floods, or ground shifts

Can I remove a wall without an inspection?
Not safely. If the wall is load-bearing, removing it without engineering guidance can seriously compromise your home. We’ll assess and recommend safe solutions.

How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take 1–2 hours. Reports are typically delivered within 1–3 business days.

Do I need an engineer’s report for permits?
Yes—especially for structural changes like wall removals, foundation modifications, or framing adjustments. We provide sealed engineering reports accepted by the City of Calgary.

Do you work with contractors, realtors, or buyers?
Yes. We regularly assist homeowners, builders, designers, and real estate professionals.
