Screener report
Site Assessment
The cities of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood require a Screener Report as the first step to comply with the city retrofit ordinance. The Screener Report is prepared by a licensed Structural Engineer and it will determine if your 'soft-story' property will require a seismic retrofit. Our team of seismic retrofit experts can help you the required Screener Report.
As soon as you call our office, our Retrofit Pros team begins working on getting your property in compliance with a Property Assessment. We first visit your property, take pictures, measure, and our draftsmen & engineers develop a preliminary retrofit solution. Let the best retrofit team in Los Angeles help you understand what you need - and how much it will cost.

Our engineers can help you design the most cost effective retrofit solution for your property in as little as five (5) weeks. We also submit your plans to Building & Safety on your behalf.
