Our Core Engineering Services

Below is a breakdown of our most in-demand services, each supported by technical expertise and field-proven insight.

Transition Studies

Essential for newly built or renovated properties transitioning from developer to association control.

Our studies provide a clear, objective snapshot of building condition, deferred maintenance, and financial planning needs.

NYC Law-Compliant Structural & Façade Evaluations

We perform detailed façade inspections and structural evaluations compliant with NYC Local Law 11 (FISP) and other jurisdictional requirements. These evaluations help ensure safety, avoid violations, and protect long-term value.

NJ Law-Compliant Reserve Studies

We specialize in reserve studies aligned with New Jersey S2760 and A4384. These reports are tailored to comply with new statewide requirements for multifamily dwellings, co-ops, and condos—helping boards and property owners stay ahead of the law.

Forensic Engineering / Expert Witness Testimony

Criterium-Hanna provides expert-level forensic evaluations to support litigation, insurance claims, and structural disputes. Our engineers deliver unbiased, professional opinions and can serve as qualified expert witnesses in legal settings.

Building Envelope Evaluation

We evaluate the full building envelope—from windows, walls, and roofs to foundational performance. Our assessments help identify energy inefficiencies, moisture penetration, and degradation before they become costly problems.

Roof Inspections

Our detailed roof inspections support capital planning, preventative maintenance, and replacement scheduling. We assess wear, structural condition, drainage issues, and compliance with relevant codes.

Drone Inspections

We use drone technology to inspect hard-to-reach areas safely and accurately—ideal for high-rise façades, roof structures, and exterior envelope diagnostics.
