Structural Engineering
Commercial Structural Assessments
When a commercial building experiences structural damage, time matters. Whether the damage is caused by an accident, severe weather, or construction activities, Runkle Consulting provides comprehensive commercial structural assessments to determine the extent of damage, identify safety concerns, and recommend practical repair solutions.
Our licensed structural engineers have decades of experience evaluating commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family properties. We work with property owners, attorneys, insurance carriers, contractors, municipalities, and facility managers to deliver clear, defensible engineering reports that help move projects forward.
when you need a commercial structural inspection:
Auto Accident Damage
Vehicle impacts can compromise structural components that are not immediately visible. We assess damage to buildings struck by passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, forklifts, and heavy equipment to determine structural integrity and necessary repairs.
Employee Negligence
Accidental equipment misuse, improper loading, unauthorized structural modifications, or operational errors can lead to hidden structural damage. Our engineers identify the cause of damage and evaluate whether the building remains safe for occupancy and continued use.
Job Site Accidents
Construction incidents can affect both new and existing structures. We provide independent structural evaluations following construction accidents, equipment failures, temporary shoring failures, and other job site incidents to document conditions and recommend corrective action.
Natural Disaster Assessments
Storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes, fires, and other natural disasters can leave buildings structurally compromised. Our engineers perform detailed post-disaster assessments to determine structural stability, document damage for insurance claims, and develop repair recommendations.
Pre-Purchase Structural Assessments
Before purchasing a commercial property, understanding its structural condition can help prevent costly surprises. We evaluate existing structural systems, identify deficiencies, and provide professional recommendations so buyers can make informed investment decisions.
Pre-Renovation Structural Assessments
Planning a renovation, tenant build-out, or adaptive reuse project? Our engineers evaluate the existing structure to determine its capacity for proposed modifications and identify structural considerations before construction begins.
