Criterium Engineers History
![]()
riterium Engineers was established in 1957 to provide engineering reports on the condition of homes. It was one of the first companies to offer such a service in the United States and has been a primary participant in the development of what is now a thriving national home inspection industry.
Arthur Tauscher, P.E., the company's founder, developed standardized procedures to ensure quality and consistency to prospective home buyers. The focus has always been to provide our clients with a meaningful understanding of the property they want to buy. Criterium has continually refined our processes up to the present day with the same commitment to quality and client advocacy.
H. Alan Mooney, P.E., an office owner since 1974, purchased the corporation in 1988. He developed the Criterium Engineers identity to differentiate Criterium offices from unlicensed home inspectors.
Today Criterium Engineers has offices across the United States and provides more than 27,000 building inspections annually. The systems developed by Criterium Engineers continue to set the national standard for the home inspection industry.
