STEP 1

Engineering: The first deadline that one must comply with is to complete the engineering within 2 years of receiving your notice. Investing in a good engineer is key; a engineer with significant experience in seismic retrofitting will design a set of plans that are minimal in scope of work. An inexperienced engineer will design an overly-complicated and expensive plan. This can be a difference in tens of thousands of dollars and months of time. Some engineers without experience are also not aware that some buildings can be exempt from the seismic retrofitting construction, while an experienced engineer will aim to design the most minimal and cost-effective plan which can include an exemption.

STEP 2

Construction: Finding the right contractor is vital to the success and timeliness of the project. Visiting the company offices and seeing the contractor’s operation will give you more insight as to their capabilities. Ask for references and talk to previous clients. Additionally, beware the fine print and exclusions. These exclusions can amount to thousands of dollars that unsuspecting property owners will need to pay. Speak to the contractors about what is included in their contracts and what isn’t so that you can compare apples to apples. Make sure that the contractor will complete your job from beginning to end so that your project isn’t left unfinished. You want your building to look better than it did before construction began.
