Our services

Inspections, restoration and structural design

Available plans, permit history, and repair records help us connect the proposed work to the building you have.

Our company

Meet Christopher Smyth, P.E.

Christopher leads engineering direction and client communication at the Stuart firm. For boards evaluating repairs, he emphasizes understanding what was done before and explaining what the building needs now.

Smyth Engineering is appreciative of our clients and aims to provide quality service. Our communication is excellent, and we always follow up and honor our commitments.

You are not only paying us to get you out of a jam with the City or develop a highly detailed set of plans utilizing Revit, but you are also paying for exceptional service and quality.

Chris explains the inspection process

What happens before an inspection report?

In this interview, Christopher Smyth describes researching original plans and permit records before visiting a building, then comparing that history with field observations. He explains coating-thickness measurements and waterproofing investigations, including when a separate specialist company helps inspect concealed piping.

After the findings

Connect the inspection to the repair plan.

A milestone inspection, a reserve study, and repair drawings answer different questions. The inspection documents structural conditions; the reserve study addresses component life and future costs; repair documents define the work included in a restoration project.

We help boards and managers understand how the findings relate to the work being proposed. The scope may include further investigation, design, or construction-phase coordination, depending on the condition and the assignment. Knowing which services are included helps everyone work from the same documents.
