What Does the Inspection Service Include?

1. Structural Condition Assessment

Our engineers begin by inspecting the substructure, including foundations, columns, and beams—ensuring proper load transfer from the building to the ground. The goal is to confirm that all structural components are properly integrated and free of defects that could cause future issues.

For the visible parts of the building, we conduct advanced visual inspections to detect cracks, uneven settling, or bending in slabs and beams. If necessary, we collect material samples and perform both non-destructive and destructive tests, either on-site or in the lab.

Common Non-Destructive Testing Techniques:

• Rebound hammer test to assess concrete strength

• Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) to detect internal flaws

• Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to locate reinforcement steel

• Crack width measurement and wall scans

• Reinforcement mapping and void detection in walls

2. Inspection of Architectural and Functional Elements

We evaluate key components and spaces throughout the building, including:

• Roof, main entrance, and staircases

• Parking areas, service shafts, and courtyards

• Structural assessment of columns, beams, and concrete slabs

• Internal finishing, waterproofing, and insulation quality

• Natural ventilation and sunlight access in rooms and bathrooms

• Windows, balconies, corridors, and wall integrity

• Kitchens, living areas, guest rooms, and children’s bedrooms

• Bathrooms and all service areas

All observations are documented in a detailed professional inspection report, complete with photos, technical notes, and recommendations.

3. Earthquake Readiness and Soil Interaction

We also assess:

• Soil type and its behavior under seismic loads (amplification or damping)

• The connection between the building’s foundation and structural frame

• The quality and durability of materials used (both structural and non-structural)

• Potential weak points that could compromise the building during an earthquake
