- ▸Average 15–20% savings vs. sole-source
- ▸We manage scheduling, access, and resident notifications
- ▸All documentation auto-archived to your vault

We protect your HOA at every step.
Six things we do for every project — without you having to ask.
No Inspector Parade
We pre-screen remotely so the engineer comes once, not three times.
Single Point of Accountability
One coordinator owns the project end-to-end — no finger-pointing.
Competitive Bids, Always
2–3 engineer bids on inspection. 3 contractor bids on repairs.
Report Released Only After Review
We catch missing items before they go to your board.
18-Year Secure Archive
Matches the legally required retention period under §5551.
Emergency Response Protocol
Documented ERR (Emergency Repair Required) escalation path.
Included with every project
Your 18-year compliance vault — built for the law, not the lawyer.

ReinspectionNext due: Mar 2034
More than an inspection company —
your compliance partner.
Same cost. Exponentially more value.
Your HOA pays the same engineer fee whether you call them directly or use us. Coordination fee is bundled and fully disclosed per California Civil Code §5551.
Competitive bids save you money
Sole-sourced inspections cost 15–25% more on average. We always bring 2–3 bids — you compare, you decide.
Vetted engineer network
Every engineer in our network is a licensed structural or civil engineer in California. License checks refreshed quarterly.
Full lifecycle compliance
Inspection, repairs, owner notices, vault retention, reinspection calendar — one partner from start to next 9-year cycle.
HOA boards who got it done.
Composite quotes from common HOA conversations — names withheld until each board approves their attribution.
“We'd been kicking the SB 326 can down the road for two years. Peter walked our board through the law in 15 minutes and had three engineer quotes in our inbox by Friday.”
HOA Board President
62-unit complex — Irvine, CA
“I asked about a vendor list. He sent me an entire compliance system. The vault alone justifies the relationship for our turnover-heavy board.”
Treasurer
118-unit condo — Long Beach, CA
“What sold us: he told us upfront the engineer fee is the same either way. No upsell — just bid competition and a coordinator who returns calls.”
