"... To place service before profit, the honor and standing of the profession before personal advantage, and the public welfare above all other considerations."
The year was 1970, C. R. "Dick" Withem, a Professional Engineer, realized that home buyers had no assurances about the mechanical and structural integrity of the property they were about to purchase. Dick discovered an engineer in New York named Arthur Tauscher, who in 1957 had developed the concept of comprehensive home and building inspections. Hence was born Home Inspection Consultants of Columbus.
In 1989, Donald Liszkay, also a Professional Engineer, began working with Dick Withem. Upon Dick's retirement in 1997, Donald Liszkay purchased the company and changed the name to Criterium-Liszkay Engineers and is currently providing an ever-expanding specialty of building inspection services.
