Buying a house is by far the largest purchase most people will ever make. So, it's only logical to gather as much information as possible when making such a purchase. A pre -purchase inspection can prevent you from being surprised by unexpected defects and high costs shortly after the purchase. Hiring a building consultant will only benefit you.
A construction consultancy performs virtually the same tasks as an engineering firm and employs the same professionals, such as an inspector and a consultant. At an engineering firm, you'll generally encounter a structural engineer, who primarily focuses on structural design and determining specifications. Specifications also visualize the planned building. This is done through drawings, usually created by a drafting firm. A construction consultancy performs a more supervisory role. We are happy to assist you with our services; a building inspection is comprehensive. We always recommend trying to be present at this inspection; the inspector will provide you with all sorts of valuable information that you can immediately apply in practice.
In a heated housing market, it's important to know what you're buying. Without a thorough building inspection, many problems can arise. Think of leaks, mold, wood rot, or poor foundations. These are all things to watch out for when buying a house. On our website, you can find numerous building consultancy firms that you can engage for building inspections. The investment in a building inspection is usually more than recouped. Based on the knowledge, experience, and technical insight of our inspector, you'll have a certified and detailed report detailing the identified defects. This is a major advantage when negotiating the price.
With such a report, you can, for example, factor repair costs into your bid. To prepare a building inspection report, a structural engineer will thoroughly inspect the entire property for maintenance deficiencies. Depending on the property's state of repair, a building inspection typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
