Introduction
HINGENEERING Consulting had been invited to provide visual engineering inspection about the conditions of an existing commercial property. The property under investigation is located at Yellowhead Trail, NW within Edmonton, AB. 
​

 The Scope of the Inspection
​It is the goal of the inspection to put a building buyer in a better position to make a buying decision. Not all improvements will be identified during this inspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. The inspection should not be considered a guarantee or warranty of any kind. The Limitations section of each component of the report should be thoroughly examined as many issues arise within the course of the inspection which limits the visual inspection.

HINGENEERING Consulting scope of services for this assessment included a visit to the property with observations of the property and its improvements, and interviews with various persons. The purpose of these observations was to assess the general physical condition and maintenance status of the property and to recommend repair and operation and/or to be restored to a good condition consistent with comparable properties of similar age.
HINGENEERING Consulting has prepared one comprehensive Property Condition Report that includes pertinent information from building (s) present on the subject property. HINGENEERING Consulting has provided the standard Property Summary Table. Furthermore, HINGENEERING Consulting has provided suggestions for repairs and upgrades of selected maintenance items that are not considered “deferred maintenance.” These suggestions have been provided to assist the user in identifying certain maintenance issues that may prolong the life of the respective systems. Suggestions for repairs and upgrades have been provided for selected conditions and should not be considered all-inclusive. No comment is offered on environmental conditions or asbestos containing materials.

Introduction
In May 2014, we started our company in Edmonton, AB. At that time, HINGENEERING Consulting business plan was originally focused in conducting structural engineering services for the oil and gas sector only. May 2017 marks the third anniversary of HINGENEERING Consulting. It is now time to reflect about how we developed our business throughout the past three years and to compare the reality with the originally planned. In this article, we will highlight our accomplishments, projects, clients, our next steps and finally our recent updates.
Accomplishments
Despite the fact that the original business plan written in April 2014 was directed only on the oil and gas, HINGENEERING Consulting managed to be flexible enough to withstand the strong hit of the low oil prices and diversify its engineering services to include residential and commercial buildings. In the past three years, HINGENEERING Consulting provided structural engineering services for many projects involved across the province in Alberta.
In January 2016, Hingeneering Consulting managed to add to its workforce a group of talented and experienced team members for other engineering services such as: geotechnical engineering, process/environmental engineering, mechanical engineering (HVAC and plumbing) as well as electrical engineering.
The company website www.hingeneering.com was launched in October 2014. Since that time, it undergoes continuous development with always updating it with the scope of services, as well as the recent projects. In January 2016, the company got its linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hingeneering-consulting-inc-?trk=top_nav_home.
Projects
During the past three years, HINGENEERING Consulting completed 21 projects in 2014, 96 projects in 2015, 114 projects in 2016 and up 40 projects till May 2017. A great proportion of the completed projects was in the residential and commercial buildings, whether new construction or renovation projects. Having said that, Hingeneering Consulting was privileged to participate in Edmonton Arena project, Ranchlands Elementary School, many steel self framed buildings, Forthills project, Rosedale Power Plant Upgrading project in addition to many commercial projects
Clients Satisfaction
Our commitment to the excellence of the projects allowed our clients to keep using our services and to refer more clients. Our portfolio of clients ranges from medium size engineering consulting, construction contractors in addition to owners and investors.
What is Next
Our plan for the future is to keep working in the commercial and industrial projects. We started to connect with major oil and gas operators for inspection and maintenance services. We are doing our best  to connect with major construction companies and renovation contractors. The company will also expand its scope of services to get infrastructures and industrial projects.
