Existing Idle Industrial Building to Storage Faility

In response to a call from the potential owner's contact Mike Thompson, I visited the project site on May-19-2008 when I met the potential owner, Mike Thompson, and Vic Coletta of Coletta Builders, to look at the condition of the building from structural integrity viewpoint.

I did not have any involvement in the design or the construction of this project until Mike Thompson called me to look at the structural condition of the building. When I am dealing with an after the fact situation like this one, I do the following …

1. look at the structural system and the condition of the substructure and superstructure
2. review the project documents
3. interview the owner, the contractor, the trades people, the suppliers, and others as required
4. conduct a walk-down inspection of the facility to at its condition

and additionally

if requested, I also do the following …

• locate/create documents and/or reports needed by the Building Official
• then work with the Building Official to ensure satisfactory resolution of related items

My observations and comments from the field visit are as follows:

The building dates back to the 1940s. It is my understanding that the original building on the North side was nominally 60 ft by 40 ft and then an extension nominally 60 ft by 40 ft was built on the South side. The overall building as it exists today is nominally 60 ft by 100 ft.
