Independent RICS Building Defect Diagnosis & Reporting

With our extensive technical knowledge we can inspect, assess and report on building defects, maintenance and workmanship problems leading to a remedy or to settle a dispute.

We also carry drones,  thermal imaging cameras, damp resistant meters and other such equipment to limit further expense.    Some defects may require building parts to be opened up, we can liaise with you or a builder to do intrusive investigations to find the root cause of the issue. 

Its common to become frustrated or fall out with your Builder or Designer and in this instance you may need a Chartered Building Surveyor to assess the situation and give clear advice, a path to a solution and help both parties resolve an issue.  

We act impartially and fairly to help you resolve disputes and can document or report on a specific building or design issue as appropriate.

If you're facing building material failures or design issues, we offer defect diagnosis surveys and reporting. We can help you investigate:

• The root cause of material or structural failures
• Builder or design-related problems
• Disputes between leaseholders, owners, or contractors

Our team can act as expert advisors, providing clear evidence to resolve disputes.

We are conversant at liaising between builder, leaseholder and owners to help with disputes in this area. 

We provide independent workmanship and quality reports where building works fall below expected standards. Our inspections identify defects, incomplete works and non-compliance with contract documents or building regulations.

We prepare independent CPR Part 35 compliant expert reports for legal proceedings. Our expert evidence is impartial, reasoned and focused on the agreed matters in dispute.

For new build, refurbishment and conversion projects, we provide independent quality monitoring and clerk of works inspections during construction or prior to completion.
