You can expect these services when you come to partner with Reilly Structures.
How We Work With Them
-
Ideal for: Homeowners and architects at concept or pre-planning stage
We provide early structural insight to inform better decisions from the outset, supporting layout development, budget planning, and pre-application submissions with advice, technical notes, or outline sketches. -
Ideal for: Contractors during the construction phase
We support builders on-site with prompt inspections, responses to queries, and advice on unforeseen structural issues. We also provide mark-ups and updates for warrant amendments when changes occur during the build. -
Ideal for: Smaller checks, early guidance, or remote clients
We offer flexible remote consultations for quick reviews, structural queries, or design input. Virtual meetings allow us to assess drawings, flag risks, and scope requirements, ideal for tasks like wall removals or beam sizing."
