SHI recently completed an as-built building survey of an older 13,000 home on the East End of NY. Architects, builders, business owners and homeowners hire as-built building surveyors for obtaining accurate plans and elevations of existing buildings. Architects will often hire as-built building surveyors so that they can focus more on the creative aspects of architecture. Sometimes a business will need an as-built survey in order to plan an office space or retail layout.

An as-built laser survey is extremely accurate and yet this kind of measured and CAD-drawn survey can be delivered with a square-foot rate that is competitive with fees in more rural US areas.

The large home that was surveyed was highly complex and an experienced project manager of the architecture firm that requested the existing building survey said that it was the most difficult building survey project he had ever seen. Because of the accuracy and quality of the building survey, the architecture PM said that they would like to use our services more in the future.

If you are interested in a no-obligation estimate for an existing home survey in Suffolk county, or beyond, SHI can provide this for you on short notice.

North Fork NY Home Inspector

Recently, I had the privilege of performing various inspections on both the North Fork and South Fork of Long Island that were filled with surprises. On the one hand, an antique clam rake was found in the crawl space of one house and a spare toilet hookup was found pre-existig in the garage of another. Who wants to leave the garage when engrossed in a shop project? Two serious drawbacks included the discovery of termites and evidence of asbestos-like material on heating pipes.

I won’t state which houses had which, but the home buyers are thankful to have known about these issues before deciding on a final purchase offer. Both buyers intended to go ahead with the purchase of their homes with their eyes wide open.

When I asked one purchaser why he called SHI, he said that he had called someone else recommended by a real estate agent, but the other company did not answer the phone in a timely manner. At SHI we aim to respond quickly and inspect carefully.

Recent SHI home inspections on the North Fork and South Fork:

619 Maple St, Greenport, NY

20 Phoebe Scoy Rd, East Hampton, NY

650 Old Shipyard Ln, Southold, NY

292 Little Noyac Pth, Southampton, NY

In addition to home inspections, I also recently performed a bank mortgage photo inspection in New Suffolk NY. If you need a reliable inspector for your North Fork NY home purchase, laser survey of existing buildings, bank mortgage photo inspections, or EMF radiation inspections, give SHI a call at 631 377 2046.
