Investigative Services

Vertical Access' services are invaluable on projects where access would not be gained until a contractor has been selected and scaffolding has been erected. With Vertical Access on the design team at the beginning of a project, hands-on information and up-close observation of building conditions can be incorporated into bid documents.

The uncertainty in restoration contracts that are based on unit prices is minimized when unit quantities are accurately determined before construction documents are prepared. Cost estimates, quantification of materials, design of repair details, and accuracy of technical specifications are improved with a thorough condition assessment by Vertical Access.

Vertical Access has full-service, in-house CAD capabilities and reports are customized according to clients' needs.

Vertical Access services complement the design process with cost-effective and valuable products: Live video and radio links between Vertical Access technicians and their clients allow interactive survey of existing conditions.

Nondestructive testing techniques are utilized when necessary or suitable to the project. Should invasive probes be undertaken, appropriate repairs are made before leaving the site.
