Andrew Lovenstein has extensive experience evaluating the structural condition of existing buildings. The structures evaluated have ranged from very large commercial buildings to storage shed for residential homes. The buildings being evaluated have had assembly, commercial, business, residential, hazardous, storage and institutional occupancies. The types of evaluations include both destructive testing and non-destructive testing methods. Andrew has extensive knowledge of both current and archaic building systems and materials. He has performed building evaluations after hurricane, flood, fire, vehicle impact, mold, hidden moisture intrusion, and sinkhole activity. Andrew has also done evaluations on undamaged buildings as part of real-estate transactions, change of occupancy or use, and has performed many feasibility studies for additions to existing buildings.
