Our
structural inspection comprises of a site visit to ascertain the structural adequacy
of the building or structure. The prepared Structural report clearly outlines
our findings and where required, recommends appropriate remedial measures. The
visual inspection is carried out at each floor level, or any accessible gantry
point. Additionally our engineers can accompanying a cherry picker operator for
high level inspections. Where
construction plans and details are available, these can also be assessed as part
of the overall inspection process. Further more intrusive investigations can also
be carried out, where deemed necessary.

Dilapidation
Reports & Inspections for clients & contractors |
|
When
carrying out extensive construction work near neighbouring properties, clients
are liable for any damage caused due to the construction work, including damage
by vibrations, soil dewatering and construction errors. Claims can range from
allegations of causing major structural damage to minor internal cracking to adjacent
properties.
We therefore carry out a Pre-construction Dilapidation inspection prior
to any demolition or siteworks commencing. This report identifies any visual defects
to the adjacent property including minor defects such as plaster cracks etc. All
defects are documented and photographed where appropriate however minor,
both internal and external. Our
Post
Construction Dilapidation inspections are carried out within the final maintenance
period of the construction project and any new defects are recorded and fully
assessed. Having
a fully independent dilapidation report is a useful safeguard against any possible
future claims and helps avoid disputes and unsubstantiated claims by adjacent
property owners after the construction project is completed.
