Apartments & Multifamily

Work in one part of a multifamily building can affect shared structures and systems. Share existing plans and the proposed changes, and explain what access is available to occupied areas. This helps the engineer establish a practical scope.

Engineering help may be needed for additions, renovations, shared-system upgrades or assessment and repair of existing construction.

Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.
