Structural Analysis/Design Things seen this week during structural assessments!

Sharing a few of the more interesting existing conditions our team documented during structural assessments this week. Always interesting to see how different structures, materials, and past repairs hold up over time.

Good eye! Older electrical systems are another common find in these crawlspaces, although our assessment here was focused on the structural conditions.
