This place is in the Strathcona area of Calgary, as regular a neighborhood as they come.... I was very surprised that they did something so unconventional as this there.
Strathcona's east slope is full of wood basements

An engineer would be preferred over an inspector for proper evaluation. However, if the building is 20+ years old, it will be damaged by now if not properly done. Most people shy away because it's outside of thier exposure, but a properly done foundation will last many years.
