Post Fire Structural Assessment
Wildfires can leave homes and buildings with visible and hidden structural damage. Following a fire event, property owners are often faced with important decisions regarding safety, repairability, and rebuilding. Medro Engineering provides professional engineering services to evaluate fire-damaged structures and help determine the most practical path forward.
Our services include post-fire foundation and structural assessments, evaluation of fire-damaged elements, and engineering design for repairs or full reconstruction. Whether a structure can be repaired or requires rebuilding, we work with property owners, architects, contractors, and local jurisdictions to support a safe, code-compliant rebuild process from initial assessment through design.
Wildfires can leave homes and buildings with both visible and hidden structural damage. After a fire event, property owners must make critical decisions regarding safety, repair feasibility, and rebuilding. Medro Engineering provides professional engineering services to evaluate fire-damaged structures and determine the most practical and code-compliant path forward.
We perform post-fire foundation assessments to evaluate potential damage to underlying support systems.
We conduct structural evaluations of fire-damaged elements to determine their integrity and remaining serviceability.
We assess whether a structure can be safely repaired or requires partial or full reconstruction.
We provide engineering design services for structural repairs.
We prepare engineering plans for full reconstruction when rebuilding is necessary.
We collaborate with:
