Landmark Inspection Services, LLCProperty conditions, construction progress and pre-drywall inspections
Understand property conditions and visible construction progress. Landmark works with owners and project teams to inspect the agreed areas, review relevant project information and provide written observations with supporting photographs.
Construction assignments are available within a 75-mile radius of Tryon, NC 28782, in North Carolina and South Carolina. Call to discuss the location and scope of a commercial property condition assignment.

An existing building, a rehabilitation project and a home under construction raise different questions. We begin with what you need to understand, then agree on the areas to inspect, project information to review and reporting you need.
Why construction oversight matters
During construction of a senior housing building, Landmark identified drilling through a concrete structural beam and tracked cracks across successive visits. The reports connected specific field conditions with requests for engineering review and continued follow-up.

Beam penetrations
On a return visit, Landmark observed new drilling through a concrete beam that had already been damaged and reinforced. The March report documented at least 15 new core holes, identified their location and called for renewed engineering evaluation.
Recognizing the change was only the first step. Landmark photographed the condition, connected it to the earlier repair and made the need for specialist review explicit.
Why that matters to an owner: construction continues after an issue is first addressed. Repeat inspections can identify changes at previously reviewed locations and give the project team a dated record for its next decision.
October 13, 2022
Landmark reported that the beam had been incorrectly core drilled and that the condition had been brought to the engineer’s attention.
November 1, 2022
The next report recorded that the beam had been X-rayed, with the results provided to the engineer and awaiting review.
January 31, 2023
A subsequent visit documented completion of the beam repair.
March 22, 2023
Landmark documented at least 15 new core holes through the previously damaged and reinforced beam and called for further engineering evaluation.
The selected records establish the renewed request for engineering evaluation; they do not establish the final disposition of the March drilling concern.
Cracks and follow-through
Landmark documented cracks in floors, walls and ceilings at identified locations. Later reports recorded monitoring for further movement, referenced engineering repair direction and continued to identify outstanding repairs as floor-covering installation approached.
Each entry connected the observed condition to its location, the prior record and the next required action, giving the project team continuity across visits.
February–March 2023
Reports referenced the engineer’s repair direction and contractor monitoring for further movement at floor, wall and ceiling cracks.
May 1, 2023
The project’s flooring-crack RFI contains a dated response from the engineer referring the team to the attached topping-slab repair method.
June 6, 2023
Landmark’s later report still identified specific third-floor cracks for repair before flooring. The record preserved that outstanding action.
What Landmark brings to the assignment
Landmark’s contribution was to identify concerns, explain the need for further review and keep significant items visible on later visits. The project engineers provided engineering evaluation and repair direction; Landmark’s inspection reporting connected the field conditions with the follow-up the project team needed to address.
This case study uses current explanatory wording to summarize selected historical inspection reports and a project request for information (RFI). Project, contractor and resident identifiers are omitted. The observations describe conditions at those dates.
Electronic report delivery
We confirm the report format, delivery method and authorized recipients when we agree on the assignment.
Document visible conditions in the agreed building and site areas. Organize observations around the property questions and intended use of the report.
Record the visible work at the time of the visit, with observations tied to the project stage and supporting photographs. Note agreed items that need clarification or further attention.
Document visible assemblies, routes and connections while they remain accessible. Coordinate the visit with the project schedule so the agreed areas can be observed before they are covered.
When included in the assignment, review project drawings and specifications alongside visible work to document apparent differences and questions for the project team.
The reporting scope is agreed before the first visit. Depending on the assignment, it can include:
The purpose is to give the intended reader a clear record of the agreed observations at that stage of the work.
Tell us the property address, building or work area, current project stage and the question you need the inspection to answer. The details below help us agree on the scope and coordinate the visit with your project team.
Have the latest drawings, specifications and revisions available for the areas being reviewed. Identify revision dates and any changes from earlier documents. Where relevant, include previous inspection reports, photographs and a list of items requiring follow-up.
Tell us which work is complete, what is underway and what is about to be covered. For inspections before concealment, coordinate timing before concrete placement, wall closure or other work that would limit visibility. Let our office know promptly if the schedule changes.
Provide the name and contact details of the person coordinating access. Share entry instructions, site rules, escort requirements and any restrictions affecting the areas to be inspected. Identify occupied spaces or active work that may affect access so arrangements can be discussed in advance.
Explain who will use the report and what they need to understand from it. Identify the intended recipients, required delivery date and any requested reporting format or project reference. Discuss these needs when scheduling so the agreed scope, site visit and reporting arrangements address the same assignment.
You do not need every detail to start the conversation. If drawings, access or timing are still being worked out, call Landmark at 828-513-0011. We will discuss what is available and what needs to be confirmed before the visit.
The written scope identifies the work included and how the report may be used. Engineering, code-enforcement, environmental, warranty or certification services are not included unless specifically supported and agreed in writing.
Call Landmark with the location, current project stage and your timeline. We'll discuss the inspection you need and the next step.
