Is your structure actually safe?
Find out in 5 days.
A licensed engineer inspects your building on-site and gives you a written report — seismic capacity, foundation condition, visible damage — instead of a guess. From ₱10,000, by floor area.
Who gets a structural assessment
Planning a renovation or extension
Know what the existing structure can safely carry before you design anything new. Adding a floor?
Buying a property
Have it checked by a licensed engineer before you commit to a purchase. Buyer's checklist
Visible cracks or damage
Get a professional read on whether it's cosmetic or structural. 7 warning signs
After an earthquake or typhoon
New cracks after shaking or a storm need an engineer's read, not a repaint. Post-typhoon checklist
Changing how the building is used
A house turned into a shop, clinic or warehouse usually carries more load than it was designed for. Change of occupancy
Never had a formal review
Older buildings that predate current code often haven't been checked against it.
What the engineer checks
A structural inspection starts with what you're worried about, then covers the rest of the frame for anything you haven't noticed.
Foundation & settlement
Sinking floors, doors and windows that suddenly stick, diagonal cracks from door or window corners.
Columns, beams & slabs
Cracking, spalled concrete, exposed or rusting rebar, sagging members.
Crack pattern & width
Where a crack runs, how wide it is and whether it's growing separates cosmetic from structural.
Column sizing & load path
Whether every load has a clear route down to the footings, including loads added since it was built.
Checked against NSCP 2015
Findings are evaluated against seismic §208 and wind §207 to judge actual capacity, not just appearance.
Walls & columns out of plumb
Anything visibly leaning, plus cracks that come back after patching or repainting.
From booking to written report
1. Book
Tell us the building's location, size, and why you're getting it assessed. We confirm a site visit date.
What the written report tells you
Not a list of observations. A finding, and what to do about it: no action needed, monitor, restrict use, repair or retrofit, or, rarely, evacuate.
Want to see one first? Read our specimen report — the same ten sections, filled in end to end. The report is yours. Give it to AEDO for the repair design, or take it to any engineer or contractor you choose. If it does recommend work, our retrofit cost guide shows what usually comes next.
The engineer behind the report
Engr. J. Abuyabor, CE — PRC #0125154
Licensed Civil Engineer and founder of AEDO Construction OPC. Specializes in NSCP 2015 structural design, seismic and wind load analysis, and design-build construction management. Based in Negros Oriental, with design work delivered nationwide.
The engineer who signs is accountable
Your report is signed and sealed by the civil engineer who inspected the building or directly supervised the inspection — never a name added afterwards. Section 14 of RA 544 is what makes that seal mean something.
See the format before you book
Every report follows the structure in our 10-page specimen report — scope, methodology, observations, evaluation, severity-graded findings, recommendations and limitations.
Site visits in Negros Oriental, Cebu, Luzon and NCR; more about the firm on the About page.
Structural inspection cost in the Philippines
Most buildings only need the assessment. Testing comes in when the report needs proof of what's inside the concrete, and that's a structural investigation. We tell you which one you need before you pay for more.
| Scope | Cost |
|---|---|
| Structural assessment, up to 100 sqm: site visit, NSCP 2015 evaluation, signed and sealed report in 5 business days | ₱10,000 |
| Structural assessment, 101 to 200 sqm | ₱15,000 |
| Structural assessment, 201 to 400 sqm | ₱25,000 |
| Structural assessment, over 400 sqm or more than 3 storeys | Quoted, from about ₱60 per sqm |
| Concrete core extraction and compression test, per core | ₱3,500 – ₱8,000 |
| Rebound hammer survey, per visit | ₱8,000 – ₱20,000 |
| Rebar locating before drilling, per visit | ₱6,000 – ₱15,000 |
| Written engineering evaluation of test results | ₱25,000 – ₱90,000 |
Floor area is total floor area of the building assessed. Storeys above 2 add 20% each; sites outside Negros Oriental add mobilisation. Testing figures are AEDO practice bands for Philippine work in 2026, excluding access equipment and out-of-town mobilisation. A rebound hammer alone can't pass or fail concrete; see why cores decide under NSCP §426.12.
