Structural Surveys
If you have any doubts about the structural integrity of your property, our structural engineers can provide you with a comprehensive defect survey. These surveys are specifically designed to investigate a particular issue or aspect of your home, such as subsidence and cracking, previous structural alterations, or suspected issues with supporting structures. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of the property to identify any defects, potential risks, or areas of concern. We will then provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings, along with recommendations for any necessary repairs or remedial work.
Structural Pre-Purchase Surveys
A pre-purchase inspection is a visual assessment of a property's structural integrity, which helps identify any issues that may have been overlooked in the homebuyer's report or by the buyer. A structural engineer pre-purchase inspection consists of a written report detailing observations of any potential causes of structural issues, along with recommendations for repair. Additionally, a monitoring plan may be created if needed to ensure the structural integrity of the property is maintained.
