Since 2003, Criterium-Pfaff Engineers has evaluated more than 7,000 buildings across eastern Washington. We look at more than 800 buildings and visit dozens of construction sites every year. Our staff of licensed, Professional Engineers offer skills in structural, civil, and mechanical engineering, project management, and much more.
At Criterium-Pfaff Engineers, we never forget that business owners often own buildings too. Our insight into commercial real estate properties and transactions, environmental solutions, facility management, and capital planning helps our clients from coast to coast build equity, maximize profits, and protect the people who live and work in their properties every day.
Large corporations, real estate investment trusts, and individual investors have different perspectives, different portfolios, and different investment goals. Some purchase commercial buildings regularly, others only occasionally. Criterium-Pfaff Engineers understands these differences. We can meet investors wherever they are and provide the entire range of advice and assistance they need when it comes to a commercial building inspection, from the sophisticated analysis experienced investors may require to the additional handholding less experienced investors may appreciate.
Some engineering firms specialize in buildings of a certain size or type, or they represent primarily larger clients but few if any smaller ones. Criterium-Pfaff Engineers does it all. A Property Condition Assessment conforms to widely recognized national standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and Standard and Poor's.

I had a wonderful experience working with Criterium-Pfaff Engineers and Ken Pfaff. They were very communicative and quickly turned around the requested work. I would recommend them to anyone needing engineering and use them again!

I have worked with Ken Pfaff with Criterium Engineers for years. He is always prompt, professional and friendly. He takes the time to explain his findings, and if there are issues, options to correct them.

Excellent customer service! Ken came out to do a review of my foundation for a refinance. He gave a complete review of everything he was seeing, and broke it down so I could fully understand (my knowledge around construction is pretty limited haha). Thank you Ken!

Ken Pfaff from this company was very professional & extremely helpful. He came & did an inspection for our home for the county to make it real property and did a great job. A couple of months later we needed a structural report for a loan and immediately within an hour had the report to the loan company. He's very personable & professional. We would refer this company and Ken Pfaff very highly. In fact we can't speak high enough of Ken's professionalism.

Very happy with their company! They are very thorough and respectful. Not only did they write up the report for my home but Kendal even walked me through everything that needed to be done. My mother also used them on her home and was very happy. I highly recommend them!

I used Criterium-Pfaff to do a home inspection for pre-purchase on a manufactured home. Kenneth was able to get my inspection within our 10 day limit. He was also very friendly, polite and of course very informative. He let me know what he was doing and what he saw good and bad. He addressed the concerns that I brought up. I love the report format that he sent the very next morning.

It was clear how the inspection and what recommendations he had for fixing any problems. I also love that it included a regular maintenance plan so even after we move in we know what we need to do to keep our home in good condition. If in the future we have any work done I will definitely having him come to inspect the work! Also I love that he was able to direct me in what kind of inspection I needed and that he very easily saved me an additional $100 in the inspection cost.
