Review field data, technical findings, recommendations, lifecycle assumptions, cost opinions, and professional conclusions. Ensure reports clearly distinguish observed conditions, reported conditions, assumptions, limitations, recommendations, and skilled opinions. Establish appropriate levels of investigation and reporting based on property type, scope, client requirements, and risk profile. Manage professional and project risk through clear documentation of scope, exclusions, limitations, assumptions, and uncertainty. Oversee BCA/PCA projects across commercial, industrial, institutional, multi-residential, condominium, and strata properties throughout British Columbia. Provide technical leadership on complex or high-risk assessments involving deferred maintenance, capital expenditures, building-envelope concerns, mechanical or electrical deficiencies, structural issues, and seismic risks. Coordinate with internal engineering disciplines and external specialists when additional investigation or expertise is required. Support the growth of BCA/PCA services across British Columbia, with potential expansion into broader Canadian and U.S. markets.
