Since 1985, we have provided our clients with the most complete building inspection services available throughout Greater Phoenix and Greater Las Vegas. We specialize in working with existing buildings offering services which include inspection, diagnostics, maintenance planning and problem solving.

It began with a pledge…

“…To place service before profit, the honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations.”

We Know Buildings

Since 1985, Criterium-Kessler Engineers has evaluated more than 50,000 buildings across Greater Phoenix and Greater Las Vegas. We look at more than 1,500 buildings and visit more than 100 construction sites every year.

Our staff of licensed, Professional Engineers offer skills in structural, civil, and mechanical engineering, project management, and much more. From diagnostics to due diligence, from commissioning to envelope performance to HVAC systems, we help our clients with even the most complex projects.

We welcome the opportunity to prove our value to each of our clients. Our proven reputation and consistent professionalism have made Criterium-Kessler Engineers the engineering firm of choice for many of the nation’s leading investors, builders, and developers.

We are licensed, Professional Engineers

Being a licensed, Professional Engineer is a career commitment and mindset guided by ethics, technical competence, clear communication, and legal accountability. It is a calling.

In most states, becoming a licensed, Professional Engineer (P.E.), requires:

• a four-year engineering degree,
• at least four years work experience under a Professional Engineer,
• passing two intensive competency exams,
• licensing by the state board, and
• ongoing maintenance, improvement of skills, and continuing education throughout their career.

Each Criterium-Kessler engineer has invested years mastering a rigorous, demanding technical and professional discipline; this expertise and experience makes a difference for our clients and their ability to understand the buildings in which they live and work. You can trust us to ask the right questions, pay attention to detail, see and solve problems, and provide quiet wisdom you can count on. And we never forget the most important part of every building we inspect: the people who call it their home or workplace.

We work with people, so they can know their buildings.

Yes, we are proven engineering experts, but it is our ability to communicate our understanding of a building’s performance to our clients that truly sets Criterium-Kessler Engineers apart. Building real relationships with our clients matters. We understand the complicated logistics of managing multimillion-dollar development projects as well the excitement and apprehension of buying a first home. In fact, many of our engineers have worked in the building trades or served on homeowners association boards, so we relate to our clients and understand their priorities.
