Structural damage and its causes
The causes of structural damage are not always apparent at first glance or easy to identify. To prevent further damage, it is essential to take swift and professional action.
If the damage is due to faulty workmanship, the company that carried out the work can be held liable for repairs or compensation, provided that there is sufficient evidence. A professional analysis of the cause and legally compliant documentation of the damage are crucial.
The on-site appointment
As certified building surveyors and construction experts, we have in-depth specialist knowledge, many years of experience, and modern measurement technology for damage analysis and the development of suitable renovation concepts.
Much structural damage is hidden and only becomes visible when specific components are opened up. In many cases, however, destructive testing is not necessary—modern, non-destructive measurement methods enable precise determination of the cause without interfering with the building fabric.
On site, we analyze the cause of the damage, assess the damage professionally, document all findings photographically, and propose economically sensible measures for repair—in order to reliably prevent further consequential damage and costs.
The defect report or damage assessment – your legally secure basis
A defect report systematically documents visible construction defects, e.g., as part of a building inspection. It serves as evidence and as a basis for claims for rectification against the contractor.
A damage assessment goes even further: it analyzes the cause of structural damage, evaluates the damage professionally, and usually includes a cost estimate for repair. It is the decisive basis for enforcing claims—both in and out of court.
