Core Service
Structural Audit & Survey
Identify building defects, structural distress and underlying causes before execution.
Overview
What this service covers
Our structural audit and survey process focuses on identifying the underlying causes of structural distress and building defects so that appropriate remedial solutions can be planned.
Challenges we address
Repair work that begins without diagnosis treats symptoms. Leakage returns, plaster fails again and budgets are spent twice. Establishing the actual cause of distress is the first technical decision of any repair project.
Our expertise
Our civil and structural engineers combine visual investigation, non-destructive testing and accurate laser-based measurement to build a defensible picture of a building's condition, supported by a formal audit report.
Scope of work
- Preliminary investigation and diagnosis
- Structural distress assessment
- Leakage source investigation
- Plaster condition assessment
- Waterproofing assessment
- Plumbing line assessment
- Paint/coating assessment
- Non-destructive testing
- Accurate measurements using laser distance measurement
- Remedial solution recommendations
- Audit report submission
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a structural audit take?
- It depends on building size, number of wings and the extent of investigation required. We confirm a timeline after a preliminary site visit.
- Do you carry out non-destructive testing?
- Yes. Non-destructive testing is used where the condition of concrete or reinforcement needs to be established without damaging the structure.
- Will the audit report be usable for tendering?
- Yes. Our audit reports are structured so that recommended remedial works can be carried directly into specifications, BOQ and tender documentation.
- Can you audit a building that is already under repair?
- Yes. We are frequently engaged mid-project where work quality, specifications or recurring defects need independent technical assessment.
