Technical building inspection

Technical inspection of the property before purchase (house or apartment)

Buying a home is a major investment, and many technical problems with a building cannot be noticed during a regular viewing. The home inspection service provides an independent, non-invasive technical assessment of the actual condition of the property, carried out by a civil engineer. The inspection takes place after online scheduling and signing the service contract, and the actual inspection usually takes about 1–2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. More information in the section frequently asked questions.

During the inspection, the visible elements of the load-bearing structure, the quality of the finishes, the flatness of the walls and floors, the condition of the carpentry and waterproofing, as well as the functioning of the electrical, sanitary, and heating systems are checked. To identify problems that are not visible at first glance, the following are used professional equipment, such as moisture meters for detecting leaks or moisture in walls and floors, thermal cameras for identifying thermal bridges or areas with poor insulation, and measuring instruments for checking construction deviations. These checks allow the identification of construction defects, leaks, insulation problems, or other non-conformities that can generate significant costs after purchase.

Following the inspection, a written technical report is drawn up, documented with photographs, highlighting the defects identified, making recommendations for remedial action, and providing an indicative estimate of the repair costs. The report is electronically signed by a licensed construction engineer and can be used both to negotiate the price of the property and as a document certifying the technical condition of the building. The technical report is sent by email within approximately 2–3 business days, and payment for the service is made after the inspection, based on the tax invoice.

Scheduling It's easy to do, right on the website: just pick a date and time that works for you, get the confirmation email, and the engineer will show up at the address you gave to do the check. After the inspection is complete, the customer is informed both verbally and in a report sent by email about the construction risks, non-conformities, and technical issues identified, as well as the recommended solutions, so that the decision to purchase the house or apartment can be made with full knowledge of the facts.

Technical inspections will be conducted using specialized equipment (the names of the devices can be found in the FAQ section), through direct visual inspection in accordance with technical standards and based on technical documentation, if available;
