In Their Words
What clients say after a project closes.
Names withheld for client confidentiality — role, asset type, and city verified.
“Our SB-326 inspection was overdue and the board wanted a real engineer, not a checklist vendor. H2 turned a stamped report inside two weeks, walked our board through the findings, and flagged two repairs we’d otherwise have missed.”
HOA Board President
84-unit condominium · Oakland, CA
“Fee proposal arrived the morning after we called. SB-721 inspections at three properties were scheduled, performed, and reported in the same calendar month. Carrier accepted the reports on the first submission.”
Property Manager
3-property apartment portfolio · San Jose, CA
“Brought in for a litigation-support structural assessment on a contested HOA matter. The report read like a deposition exhibit — clear scope, defensible methodology, and findings tied to specific code citations. Settled before trial.”

Featured Compliance · LA Ordinance 183893
Non-Ductile Concrete Buildings: The 10-year deadline is here.
If your building was constructed before 1977 and you received an Order to Comply from LADBS, the 10-year structural analysis and retrofit plans deadline is approaching — with most orders issued between 2016 and 2018. Engineering evaluation takes 4–6 months minimum. Owners who haven’t engaged a structural engineer are running out of time to meet the milestone without enforcement risk.
Compliance Timeline · Years 0–25
Engineering: 4–6 months · Construction: 5–15 years
