Before the start of a construction project—especially demolition, civil engineering, or foundation work—it is essential to carry out structural evidence preservation in accordance with DIN 4123. This standardized evidence preservation procedure serves to provide expert and objective documentation of the actual structural condition of existing and neighboring buildings immediately before the start of construction.
Why is structural evidence preservation important?
- Avoiding subsequent disputes about the causes of damage
- Protection against unjustified claims for damages
- Legally compliant documentation for builders, insurance companies, and courts
- Objective basis in the event of a conflict
The on-site inspection with our experts
As part of structural evidence preservation, the structural condition of adjacent buildings, outdoor facilities, and structural installations is carefully documented before the start of a construction project. Our certified building surveyor personally conducts the inspection and objectively and neutrally records any visible pre-existing damage such as cracks, subsidence, plaster spalling, or other structural changes.
All findings are documented photographically and, if necessary, summarized in a detailed evidence preservation report—as a legally secure basis in the event of subsequent disputes or claims for damages.
It is not uncommon for our clients to be surprised by the extent of damage that was already present before construction began—damage that would have gone undetected without expert supervision.
Get clarity now—and protect yourself from unfounded claims and costly disputes.
