You are working with the general contractor on renovations to the house. You asked us to provide a qualitative general structural evaluation of an existing detached structure on the property. Photo 1 shows the location of the structure on the site. Based on observations, it is my opinion the structural framing (the slabs, walls, joists, beams, and columns) are in good condition. There are no observable indications of general structural weaknesses. Details of my opinion are as follows: Observations: 1. The structure is an elevated concrete slab supported by open web steel joists (OWSJs), steel beams, steel columns, and poured concrete exterior walls. Photos 2, 3, 4, and 5 show the elevated concrete slab and the opening into the lower level. The existing slab opening is located on east end. 2. The poured concrete walls appear to be 12” thick. Photo 6 shows the top of the concrete wall and the exterior edge of the wall. There is a ledge along the top of the wall. 3. The lower level footprint is approximately 47’-11” (east-west) x 27’-1” (north-south). The lower level steps up approximately 24” approximately 8’ from the north wall. Photos 7, 8, 9, and 10 show the lower level area. 4. The OWSJs are approximately 12” tall and the supporting steel beams are approximately 16” tall. The elevated concrete slab is approximately 4” thick. 5. As measured with a 4’-0” carpenter’s level, the poured concrete walls are relatively plumb. April 26, 2021 Executive Homes Construction, Inc. Re: 1150 W. 116th St., Carmel, IN – Structure General Assessment SCE Job #19593B Page 2 Conclusions: Based on observations, it is my opinion the structural framing is in good condition. There are no observable indications of structural weaknesses. It should be noted that we are providing a general condition structural assessment and that the specific use of the structure or the capacity of structural members was not evaluated.
