Building Survey

Building pathology considers how the structure and materials of a building relate to its environment, occupants, and the way the building is used, to develop a better understanding of building failures. In other words, I identify why things have gone wrong – which could vary from a single issue to a number of combined reasons. This insight into what elements have failed, and possibly compounded by each other, helps my clients identify and understand the defects, causes and remedies.

Condition surveys are often used as the basis to complete a planned schedule of the maintenance for a building, with a budgeted cost and timings. My detailed inspection establishes a building’s condition, the maintenance required immediately and when future repairs should be anticipated. My clients find my condition surveys a valuable investment, as they anticipate a building’s maintenance and the associated financial commitment required, rather than far more expensive reactive maintenance.

Through detailed investigation and exploratory work using the latest equipment including infra-red technology I can identify the cause of building defects in both commercial and residential properties and make recommendations for remedial work. Inspections can be in relation to specific defects, through to a building inspection of an entire building. I can provide advice on the cost of works, which gives my clients the comfort of the anticipated level of expenditure for the repair works.
