Technical investigation of buildings is the specific trend in the construction investigation necessary to solve the issues of durability and reliability of buildings or facilities considering all factors of its operation.
The basis for quality provision during the reconstruction of any building is its technical investigation.
Assessment and analysis of building problems require experience, good judgment, and necessary technical knowledge and training. Our professionals provide straightforward solutions for assessments, failure investigations, demolitions, and restoration projects. In addition, we collaborate with owners, architects, and consultants, bringing valuable expertise and experience to the restoration and preservation of existing buildings.
When is a building technical investigation necessary?
- Before the reconstruction, total repair, purchasing, or sale of the building.
- In case of visible degradation of the building structure.
- To reveal the reasons for the failures and the amount of damage caused to the civil object, such as the fire, flood, earthquake, a.s.o.
- In case of disagreements between the customers and the contractors regarding the work’s amounts, quality, and costs.
- To detect defects in the heating, air conditioning, or ventilation systems.
- To define the actual construction (repair) volumes and make independent estimates for the given work.
Why is a building technical investigation necessary?
- To estimate the technical condition of the building, for the definition of the qualitative and quantitative properties, and for the assessment of the building objects’ current condition. Besides, technical inspection allows us to study the ongoing processes in the construction parts of the buildings. It reveals the actual operational properties of the buildings’ materials and analyses their conformity to the technical requirement.
- If a building was constructed without preparation of the project, or does not exist for any other reason, then to obtain permission for the commissioning of this building, it is necessary to conduct complete technical expertise of the object. Such examination shows how well the building meets the project plan, building and safety regulations, as well as how safe it will be during the operation
- In case of damages caused to the insured property or a dispute about the cause of the damage, the expertise helps make an independent estimation of the indemnity and resolve the conflict most effective
- Eliminate disagreements between contractor and customer; solve the conflicts between the neighbors; during the lawsuit and the conclusion of the insurance agreement. According to the measurements, investigations, engineering calculations, and expertise of the building materials, the expert, reveals malfunction of the technical operations, failure to comply with the regulatory documents, and the project’s decisions discrepancy. All the work done is precisely recorded in the expert report.
- To evaluate the technical condition of the real estate.
- In case of problems in the operation of the heating, air-conditioning, or ventilation systems, the engineer will inspect the systems and the equipment and provide the necessary guidance for the maintenance work.
For the analysis of the estimates, which includes:
– Actual necessity control of all works declared in the estimate. – Actual necessity control of building materials declared in the estimate. – Control of material quantities and the amount of the work declared in the estimate.
