Second opinion on an inspection report
Your inspection report, reviewed by a civil engineer.
You have just received an inspection report. There are dozens of findings. Some look serious. Others, you don't know what to make of. And you have to decide quickly.
- Civil engineer — OIQ
- Delivered in 2–4 days
- No conflict of interest
- Clear report
Whether you are buying or selling
For the buyer
Decide before your inspection condition expires.
The report lists dozens of findings without saying which ones really count. Yet you have to decide: buy, negotiate or walk away.
- What is truly urgent, what can wait and what is normal for this type of building
- The findings worth having verified before you commit
- Technical arguments to negotiate the price or ask for repairs
For the seller
Respond to an unfavourable report with facts.
The buyer's inspector has delivered a report and you are being asked for a price reduction or repairs. Before you give in or refuse, know what the findings are really worth.
- The real significance of each finding: serious, minor, or worded in an alarming way
- Where further verification is justified, and where it is not
- A technical basis, signed by an engineer, to respond and negotiate
This is for you if…
You recognize yourself in one of these situations
- Your report contains dozens of findings and you don't know which ones are truly urgent
- You want to negotiate the price or ask for repairs, but you lack technical arguments
- Some findings are vague, alarming or hard to interpret without a construction background
- You have to decide quickly — buy, withdraw, negotiate — and you want a solid basis to do it

Limits of the service
What this service is not
To avoid misunderstandings, and to make sure it is really what you need.
A new inspection report
We rely on the existing findings; we do not redo the on-site inspection.
A final price for the work
Cost ranges are estimates. They do not replace quotes from contractors.
A guarantee of compliance
The goal is to inform your decision, not to certify the condition of the building.
Construction supervision
This service helps you decide beforehand. Site management is a separate service.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth it for a small house or a condo?
Yes, often even more so. Inspection reports for condos and small houses regularly contain findings given without context that cause needless worry, or on the contrary underestimated problems. The value of the review does not depend on the size of the building.
My inspection report is in French — is that a problem?
Not at all. We work in French and in English. The review is delivered in the language of your choice.
Is the 2 to 4 day turnaround guaranteed?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. If your situation is urgent (tight inspection deadline, short conditional offer), mention it when you order and we adapt.
Can I use your review to negotiate with the seller?
Yes, it is one of the most common uses. The PDF deliverable is signed by a civil engineer who is a member of the OIQ, which gives it weight in a negotiation or a request for repairs.
