Tom Rosenberger
is a highly skilled bi-lingual (English-Spanish) professional, with
25 years of land development and construction experience. Tom enables
his clients to "see beyond the obvious" before committing to
land acquisition and construction projects.
He is a legal resident of
Costa Rica and
has lived in Costa Rica since 1992, building and remodeling homes and
condominiums, along with developing land into building lots.
Tom has performed
numerous evaluations of land development and housing projects
in order to determine the most profitable return on investment, along
with performing investigations of construction installations, detailing
methods, and costs of restoration and completion.
Perhaps most importantly, Tom has
learned to work with Costa Rican architects, tradesmen, government officials,
and investors in resolving situations that occur during land development
and construction projects. Put simply, there are few problems that he
has not encountered in his broad experience. He is therefore in a unique
position to provide his clients with the knowledge needed to make an
informed decision when considering living or conducting business in
Costa Rica.

INSPECTION INSTRUMENTS
Part
of providing a GOOD home or land building inspection is not only
having but learning to use the proper tools and instruments to
complete the inspection. Here are just some of the meters I
use.
 Wagner C
575 Concrete Moisture Meter - This professional grade, electronic
meter enables me assess moisture conditions
in concrete floors and walls with electromagnetic wave technology.
Wagner MMC
220 Wood Moisture Meter -
This professional grade, electronic meter allows me to adjust the specific
gravity for all species of hardwoods and locate and analyze wood that
has cracked, warped or shrunk due to abnormal humidity conditions, many
times caused by water infiltration inside
of dwellings.
 Meterman
TRH22 Relative Humidity Temperature Meter
- This laboratory grade meter measures relative humidity
and temperature, in Celsius or Fahrenheit, within a 10% resolution up
to 100%, to establish exterior and interior parameters of small areas
such as ductwork or any dwellings current conditions.
 GB Instruments
Multi-Meter - When troubleshooting
excessive moisture in floors, walls or ceilings of construction projects
most times electricity has been previously installed. With my Multi-Meter,
I can determine the location and strength of AC Voltage as well as proper
grounding and polarization for personal safety as well as for protection
of electronic equipment.
 Hilti PD-42 Laser Range Meter
- This electronic meter accurately
and reliably measures to within +/-
1.0 mm and can determine measurement of distances from 0.05 m to 200
m with laser precision and signal pulse technology. This instrument
enables me to measure direct distances of land up to 656' lineal feet
or 200 meters, building areas in square feet or meters (M2),
volume of water and septic tanks or pools in cubic gallons or liters
(M3) as well as surface areas of rooms for paint quantity
in gallons or liters (L) and Pythagoras which determines a buildings
height without the need for a ladder or an assistant.
