Clear answers about technical expertise
Structured by client type and common themes: costs, independence, legal use, and the collaboration process.
General questions
What does a construction technical expert do?
They analyse the situation from a construction perspective, carry out inspections and measurements, and prepare objective technical reports. They do not execute works and do not provide legal representation for any party.
When is a technical report needed?
When there is uncertainty about the cause, extent, or responsibility for a problem – water damage, damp, mould, workmanship defects, or situations involving insurance.
How long does the process take?
We typically respond to enquiries within 24 hours. The technical report is delivered within approximately 48 hours after complete information is received and the inspection is completed.
For insurers
Can the report be used in a claim file?
Yes. The report is structured for use in claim files, with description, photo documentation, measurements, and well-founded technical conclusions.
Are you independent of the parties involved?
Yes. We have no commercial interest in executing works and do not represent any party in the conflict.
For managers and owners
Do you offer technical audits for buildings?
Yes. We assess overall condition, identify construction risks, and document sensitive areas, with prevention recommendations.
Is expertise useful before buying a property?
Yes. Buying an apartment or house is, in most cases, the most important and costly purchase you will make. An independent technical assessment before signing provides additional certainty and an objective basis for your decision.
Do you carry out repairs?
No. We provide technical assessment and documentation only. We are not a contractor.
Costs and independence
How is the cost determined?
Cost depends on the complexity of the situation, location, and scope of the assessment. After the initial review, we communicate next steps and terms transparently.
Do you recommend repair companies?
No. Our role is strictly technical. We do not recommend contractors and have no commercial interest in works.
Can the report be used in court?
The technical report can be used in a legal context as objective documentation. However, we do not provide legal representation.
