Inspection & Assessment Services
Metra Consultation provides engineering inspection and assessment services for residential, commercial, industrial, and condominium buildings. Our team evaluates existing conditions, identifies visible deficiencies, and provides practical engineering recommendations based on site observations, available documentation, and project requirements.
Our inspection and assessment services support maintenance planning, repair decisions, regulatory compliance, due diligence, and long-term building performance.
Building & Structural Inspection
Inspection of structural and building components to identify visible signs of deterioration, cracking, deformation, corrosion, moisture-related damage, or other conditions that may require further engineering review.
Façade Inspection – Bill 122
Engineering inspection of building façades in accordance with applicable Québec requirements. Our services include review of exterior components, identification of potentially hazardous conditions, documentation of observed deficiencies, and recommendations for corrective work.
Parking Garage Inspection – Bill 122
Inspection and assessment of parking structures, including slabs, beams, columns, walls, joints, drainage conditions, cracking, corrosion, and concrete deterioration. Our work helps identify maintenance priorities and required repairs.
Fall Protection / Anchors & Lifelines
Inspection and engineering assessment of fall protection systems, roof anchors, lifelines, attachment points, and related components to evaluate their condition and suitability for continued use.
Existing Building Condition Assessment
Assessment of existing buildings to document current conditions, identify areas of concern, evaluate visible deficiencies, and provide recommendations for maintenance, repair, or further investigation.
Structural Deficiency Assessment
Engineering evaluation of structural concerns such as cracks, settlement, deformation, damaged members, corrosion, water-related deterioration, and other visible signs of distress.
Repair & Rehabilitation Recommendations
Development of engineering recommendations for repair, reinforcement, rehabilitation, and corrective work based on observed conditions and project requirements.

Regulatory and specialized services
Information that helps route the request
Send the property address, building type, photographs, a concise description of the concern, available reports or drawings and the purpose of the inspection. We can then identify whether the first step should be a site visit, document review, formal report or another defined engineering scope.
Not sure which inspection you need?
Describe the property, concern and decision you need to make.
Ask Metra to define the inspection scopeFrequently asked questions
Which inspection service should I choose?
Choose the service that matches the decision or concern: a focused structural defect, commercial or industrial asset condition, façade or parking compliance, fall-protection equipment or a broader building assessment.
Can Metra help define the correct inspection scope?
Yes. The address, building type, photographs, known concerns and intended use of the findings usually allow the appropriate engineering discipline and deliverable to be identified.
Is an engineering inspection the same as a pre-purchase home inspection?
No. Metra’s services are engineering assessments defined around structural, building, regulatory or asset-condition questions. The mandate should be confirmed before relying on it for a transaction.
What happens when another discipline is needed?
Structural, civil, geotechnical, façade and building considerations can be coordinated when the observed condition crosses disciplines and the additional scope is agreed.
