Expert Reports

Structural and defect reports: establishing the cause, assessing stability and recommending remedial work for cracks and building damage.

Reports on stability, cracking and building damage – with a cause, not just findings.

Typical occasions

  • Cracks in walls, floors or facades
  • Deformation and deflection beyond the permissible limits
  • Damage after water, fire or settlement
  • Doubts about stability ahead of a change of use

Structure of the report

Findings, investigation, cause, assessment, recommendation. The cause is the part that matters: a crack says little; its direction, its path and how it has developed over time say almost everything.
