Our Capital Reserve Study can improve your property's financial planning and facilities management by providing a clear and understandable funding plan for future replacement of capital items. 

Planning for future replacement of items such as roofs, asphalt paving, and mechanical systems requires a proper assessment of not only the future costs, but also an analysis of the life expectancy of these items based on the current physical condition. We will assist you in developing a financial funding plan that works for your property.

Retaining walls are required at elevation changes to prevent soil erosion and support lateral loads and surcharges from the high side of the wall. They can also be visually appealing and enhance landscape designs. However, environmental conditions, inadequate construction, or use of materials with limited useful lifespans can result in deterioration that could ultimately lead to catastrophic failure.  Our professionals at Becht Engineering BT, Inc. have extensive experience with retaining wall investigations, as well as design and construction inspections.
