Defect Analysis / Building Pathology

Construction is constantly advancing with new and improved technologies, materials and techniques constantly being introduced. Not all buildings are perfect though. Defects and deterioration do occur irrespective of the age, type or use of the property. That is why our Defect Analysis and Building Pathology services co-exist.

We have a wealth of experience in surveying and diagnosing defects in property construction. This is characterised by our nationwide team’s expanding knowledge of construction methods and materials alongside our use of the latest technology.

Key defects can include anything from the design and operation to construction and maintenance of the mechanical, electrical, heating and fire systems of buildings. We offer a holistic service but we are also able to address any specific concerns you may have.

Our Defects Analysis and Building Pathology services deliver clear, robust strategies and cost-effective solutions. This collaborative and comprehensive process covers:

Expert inspections, surveys and appraisals.
Identification and detailed analysis of defects.
Specialist advice on how to cost-effectively rectify specific defects.
Supervision of implementation of professional repairs.

In rare instances, further on-site testing and analysis may be required to establish the cause and repair of the defect. Our close relationships with independent laboratories help to get to the root of the problem quickly, progressing you to the best solution. We have an in-depth knowledge of Building Regulations and the Gateway Process and adhere to PAS 8671.

We employ the latest technology including drones, that are operated by a team of trained surveyors.
