A technical inspection to establish what is happening and why, before spending on repairs that do not address the cause. You get the diagnosis in writing, with the remedies and the order to do them in.
Owners, building managers and residents’ committees.
What it includes
- Building inspectionBuilding inspection and defect diagnosis
- An on-site inspection of an existing building to establish its condition: a record of the damage, the likely cause, an opinion on whether it is safe to occupy, and a report listing the work in order of priority. This is what clients hire after an earthquake, before buying a property, or when a commonhold needs an independent opinion. Structural integrity is signed off by a civil engineer, the professional the law reserves that signature for.
- Defect diagnosisForensic inspection and diagnosis of building defects and pathology
- Specialist inspection to identify and analyse structural damage, cracking, water ingress or deterioration, and to define how to repair it. Uses forensic diagnostic methods to establish causes, risks and repairs that hold. Structural integrity is signed off by a civil engineer, the professional the law reserves that signature for.
- Facade maintenanceFacade maintenance and restoration

- Roofs and waterproofingMaintenance and restoration of roofs and waterproofing systems
