The scientific and analytical analysis of building defects is necessary to understand the cause of component failure and the condition, strength and durability of the building elements. The assessment of failure, or non-compliance with specification, has increasingly become a pre-requisite of dispute resolution and litigation.
The Service
Instructions typically include inspection, analysis and reporting of the following:
- Roof durability assessments and leak detection
- All types of stone and masonry facades
- Water penetration and condensation
- Defective finishes, including coatings and sealants
- Cracking in buildings
- Fire or blast damage
Where appropriate, the analysis is supplemented by in situ testing or physical and chemical laboratory analysis.
