Construction Observation Report
On x.X 2012, I inspected the structural repairs at the above referenced
property. The purpose of the inspection was to observe the exposed
counterfor, in order to determine whether additional repair is necessary....
Observations & opinions:
One of the two existing counterforts was exposed. I understand from the
contractor that upon excavation it was discovered that the void space under
the counterfort was completely closed and applying pressure to the underside
of the counterfort. I also understand that the constractor removed the soil
from under the counterfort and that the wall released somewhat.
Interior inspection in the basement confirms that the wall has shifted back
slightly.
In my opinion, at this time, the second counterfort should be exposed and
void space under each counterfort should be established to a depth of 12
inches. Replacement of the helical piers with micropiles, is not considered
necessary. Void retention should be installed, and the excavations should be
backfilled with non-expansive soil.
No other work is considered necessary.

报告：

The purpose of the reviews was to provide inspection of structural repair
work per the plan of repair prepared by XXX...
Three deviations were implemented in lieu of the plan of repair: 1) the
helical piers were installed to a depth of 20-feet versus 30-feet, 2) knee
wall was adjusted to a plumb orientation versus installing additional 2x6
studs and 3) the steel pier located below the basement stairway was
relocated to the exterior of the grade beam versus the interior. XX was made
aware of the deviations and approved suc deviations. All structural repair
work was found to be general compliance with the plan of repair with the
deviations as noted above.
Additional inspection of the existing concrete piers at the south side of
the basement was performed as a courtesy to the homeowner. There was no
significant distress at the pier/grade beam interface that would suggest
structural problems with the piers....
有过两次structural repair的这个房子可以下offer不？？？
