Question 1

Are your inspectors licensed Professional Engineers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every inspection is performed by a licensed North Carolina Professional Engineer (PE) - never an intern, technician, or engineer-in-training. The same PE who walks your property writes and stamps your report. Triangle Structural Engineering is a licensed NC engineering firm (License #P-3406).

Question 2

How much does a structural due diligence inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Pre-purchase structural due diligence inspections in the Triangle typically range from $500 to $900 depending on home size and concerns identified by the general home inspector. Pricing is flat-fee with the PE-stamped report included.

Question 3

How fast can you schedule a due diligence inspection?

Accepted Answer

We understand real estate timelines are tight. We can typically schedule within 1-3 business days and deliver the PE-stamped report 1-2 business days after the visit, fitting most NC due diligence windows.

Question 4

Can Realtors order inspections on behalf of clients?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many Realtors across Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, and Chapel Hill refer their clients to us or schedule inspections directly to keep transactions moving.

Question 5

Will the report help with price negotiations or repair credits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A PE-stamped report provides credible, third-party documentation of structural conditions that supports repair credits, price adjustments, or a clear-eyed decision to walk away.

Question 6

What is the difference between a home inspection and a structural inspection?

Accepted Answer

A general home inspector flags concerns across many systems but is not licensed to make structural determinations. A licensed PE provides a stamped opinion on whether observed issues are cosmetic or genuinely structural, which lenders and insurers rely on.
