Symptoms of Structural Distress in Residential Construction with Massood Gaskari

Symptoms of Structural Distress in Residential Construction

Three different engineering disciplines are required for construction of a residential development. A soils engineer is required to evaluate the soils condition, a grading/hydrology engineer is required to engineer the grading, utilities, and drainage systems, and a structural engineer is required to analyze and design the structural systems of the building. All three disciplines are civil engineers but each have a different focus and expertise. In this presentation, we will go through several examples of issues/red flags that relate to each of these three disciplines to demonstrate the difference between them and the expertise required for evaluation of each red flag. each red flag will be discussed in terms of significance and repair.

Massood Gaskari

PEE was established in 1986 by Mr. Massood Gaskari, an expert civil engineer with wealth of practical knowledge in the field of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering. Prior to forming the forensic engineering services company, Mr. Gaskari established himself as a well-educated
graduate of University of Colorado, receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in construction management and also one in civil engineering in the years 1977 and 1979.
Soon after graduation, Mr. Gaskari became a staff engineer for a major engineering consulting firm in Denver, Colorado and then moving-up the ladder to the project management position within the firm, while mastering the art of civil, soil, and structural engineering. In the years to follow, Mr. Gaskari determined that a practical engineer needs to experience the challenges of construction, and therefore, turned to the construction industry. He managed several large construction projects, coordinating all aspects of construction management, from cost estimating and project scheduling, to managing project conflicts and coordinating all aspects of project activities.
In 1986, Mr. Gaskari started Private Eyes Engineers, as a small engineering firm specializing in structural inspections of existing buildings. To date, Mr. Gaskari prides himself on maintaining a staff of highly skilled and intelligent engineers and technicians who are dedicated to providing
the best forensic engineering service in the fields of civil, structural, and geotechnical. In 2005, Mr. Gaskari established Civil Engineering Design Group as a sister company. Civil Engineering Design Group is an engineering design company which provides engineering services in the
field of land development and structural design.
