Facility Condition Assessments
Our engineers have inspected thousands of structures and provide easy-to-understand reports.
Get an easy-to-understand report card for your facility that removes the guessing and gives you a plan. Our licensed, professional structural engineers will perform a thorough inspection and provide a detailed grade for every area of your facility. You’ll also receive clear, prioritized action items and recommendations to address issues, making moving forward easy.
We regularly conduct FCA’s on properties of all sizes and uses – commercial, residential, government complexes, and data centers. Through our partnership with Paper Airplane, we use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to create accurate 3D models of a facility. Paper Airplane’s data analytics allows for forecasting maintenance needs and repair budgets. Our team can also perform thermal imaging, useful for discovering moisture intrusion or hot spots in data centers or solar arrays.
These inspections are invaluable for maintaining the physical condition of assets, identifying and prioritizing maintenance needs, and the development of capital budgets.
To talk about your property, contact Justin Bayer in Colorado and Jennah Stanton in Arizona and Las Vegas.

What others have to say about our work
D.W., Attorney, California
I want to express our continued admiration for the quality of Knott Lab’s work both in accident reconstruction & in the preparation of demonstrative evidence. On the basis of your deposition testimony & the animation of the accident, the defense admitted the negligence of their employee, that it was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.D.W., Attorney, California
T.W., Attorney, Illinois
I wanted to personally thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in helping to get the case successfully resolved. If not for your hard work, your expert opinions and your keen analysis on this case, we would never have been able to settle it for the amount and/or in the time frame in which we did. It was truly a team victory.T.W., Attorney, Illinois
T.B., Attorney, Massachusetts
[Richard,].. Your assistance in the case has been invaluable. I am very pleased that you were able to rebut the findings of the two State Police officers and the defendants expert. No one else was sharp enough to focus on the oil spill in the photos and it was gone when the State Trooper did his final report.T.B., Attorney, Massachusetts
S.G., Attorney, Missouri
The work you did on the case was outstanding. Prior to going to the mediation, we sent your animation of what occurred to the defendants. I truly believe that your animation allowed the defense to see exactly what happened which, in turn, allowed them to appreciate their liability. Regardless, I think your work was outstanding and want to thank you.S.G., Attorney, Missouri

I am a Community Association Manager and have had a few opportunities to work with Knott Labs and each time I could not be more impressed. They are very professional and down to earth, they really take into account their client and want to do what is best for them. When I need an engineer Knott (Cade) is always the first call I make!Anonymous
