Construction investigation process

Investigation stages

1. Initial inquiry

   The Invoice-Order defines the property, questions, investigation scope, cost, timeframe, payment and form of the result. The terms are provided before payment.

4. Preparing the property

   The address, time, access, responsible persons and restrictions are agreed. Any opening-up, dismantling or sampling is agreed in advance.

   The condition of accessible areas, defects, dimensions and circumstances are documented. Changes to the property after the event and the documents provided are taken into account.

6. Investigation of materials

   Observed signs, documents, applicable requirements and calculations are compared. Additional work, expenses and involvement of specialist service providers are agreed.

   The record, opinion, review or consultation specified in the order is prepared with input data and the limits of the conclusions.

Contract and court appointment

An information letter and an investigation conducted under a contract do not replace the procedural appointment of an expert examination. An inspection does not automatically cover all concealed structures, the entire building services system or the whole property. The scope and limits of the investigation are determined by the assignment and access.
