Detailed and meticulous site inspections to gather information about the built environment form the foundation for clear understanding of building defects, condition and form. High quality information is essential for successful outcomes.
- Weathertightness / leaky building surveys by certified weathertightness surveyors to determine whether a building has suffered from water ingress and associated damage to the structure.
- Visual and invasive investigations to determine the nature, cause and effect of building defects, fundamental to determining the appropriate scope of repair work.
- Photographic schedules of condition to accurately record the as built condition of a property at a given point in time, for comparison to a later date.
- Visual condition surveys to develop long term maintenance plans (LTMP) or prior to maintenance work to ensure maintenance funds are correctly allocated.
- Measured surveys and plans to accurately record the layout of buildings, prior to building work.
- Disabled access surveys to assess compliance with s118 of the Building Act 2004, prior to commercial building consent applications.
Weathertight Building Surveys / Leaky Building Surveys |
By carrying out invasive and non-invasive weathertightness surveys and preparing detailed reports, it is possible to accurately assess the scope, extent and cost of remedial works required.
Building Defects Diagnosis |
If you have building damage and need to determine the nature, cause and extent of the damage, we can assist by providing a detailed investigation to determine the cause(s) of the damage and to specify any remedial work necessary, including designing and specifying works and obtaining building consent as required.
Building Condition Surveys – photographic schedules |
By carrying out non-invasive visual condition surveys and preparing detailed photographic reports it is possible to accurately record the condition of a building to assess the maintenance or repair requirements, or to compare to a survey from a later date following adjacent building works.
Building Maintenance Surveys |
Building Maintenance Surveys and preparation of forward maintenance plans to assist in building maintenance cost forecasting. To accurately forecast future expenditure on building maintenance is a legal requirement of the Unit Titles Act 2010.
Measured Building Surveys |
If there are no accurate plans and elevations for a building we can carry out a measured survey and produce as-built plans and elevations in 2D or 3D CAD format prior to preparing designs for alterations or repairs.
Disabled Access Surveys |
To assess building code compliance for people with disabilities. The NZ Health Survey in 1992/1993, carried out by the Ministry of Health, showed that a quarter of the entire adult NZ population has a mobility limitation.
