A Smarter Look at Your property and Land

Know what you're buying
Before you buy

Buying a home or piece of land is a major investment.

Bowyer Consulting provides comprehensive site evaluations to help buyers understand the property, identify areas that may need attention, and make more informed decisions before moving forward.

Look Beyond the House

A property is more than four walls and a roof. Bowyer Consulting evaluates the surrounding site to give prospective buyers a broader understanding of the property before they make their investment.

From the condition of the overall land and property to site-related concerns and items that may require attention, our evaluations are designed to help you see the bigger picture.

Focused Evaluation
Review of the land and surrounding property to identify important areas that deserve attention, regular maintenance or immediate repair.

Practical Insight

See a Site Evaluation in Action

Every property is different. That's why Bowyer Consulting offers an inside look at what a site evaluation involves through real-world evaluation videos.

Watch an example evaluation as Bowyer Consulting walks through an existing property, highlights areas of interest, and explains what buyers should consider. Written site assessments included with all evaluations.

  • The site evaluation provided is a limited-scope, visual-only assessment based solely on observable conditions at the time of inspection. This evaluation does not include intrusive testing, dismantling of equipment or structures, laboratory analysis, engineering calculations, or other technical investigations. No representation is made regarding concealed, latent, or non-visible conditions, including but not limited to structural deficiencies, subsurface conditions, hazardous materials, mechanical or electrical systems, water intrusion pathways, or conditions concealed by finishes or stored items.

    The evaluator is not a licensed engineer, geotechnical professional, environmental consultant, or other specialized expert unless expressly stated in writing. Observations, opinions, and recommendations are based on visual indicators and the evaluator’s professional judgment only and should not be construed as engineering, architectural, geotechnical, environmental, or legal advice.

    This report reflects conditions observed at the specific date(s) and time(s) of inspection and is not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of future performance, condition, or longevity of the site or any component. Conditions may change over time due to weather, use, deferred maintenance, hidden defects, or other factors. The evaluator cannot predict future failure, deterioration, or the emergence of defects.

    Clients are advised to obtain additional, more detailed evaluation from qualified and licensed specialists where warranted by the findings or for matters requiring technical analysis, permitting, remediation, design, or certification. Such specialists may include structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, geotechnical, environmental, or other licensed professionals.

    While reasonable efforts have been made to provide an accurate visual assessment, inadvertent errors or omissions may occur. The evaluator, and any associated firm, their officers, employees, agents, and contractors, shall not be liable for any claim, loss, cost, expense, or damage arising from such errors or omissions, except to the extent caused by demonstrable gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

    This Errors and Omissions section is intended to clarify the scope and limitations of the visual site evaluation. Acceptance of the report constitutes acknowledgment and agreement by the client to these limitations and recommendations for further investigation when appropriate.

How It Works

Simple From Start to Finish

1

Evaluate the Property

We will visit the site and do a walk through covering all the important items that affect your pocket while owning the home.

2

Review the Findings

A video will be provided showing all areas of concern together with areas that may provide future benefits, inclusive of a narrative and budget costs for ongoing maintenance.

3

Explore Your Options

The inspection costs are based on acreage size and additional walk through services with the client are available on site to discuss in person ideas and future needs and solutions.

30+ years of experience

With over 30 years of construction experience and over a decade in the area performing site and land evaluations, Lewis Bowyer helps prospective buyers take a closer look at the property they're considering.

Rather than focusing only on the home itself, his approach considers the broader site and the items that may impact your understanding of the property and what living in the mountains can entail.

Just good honest advice.
