Defect inspection
Protect your interests before construction begins with an independent condition assessment report. A structural survey by SOCOTEC documents the current condition of a building or property through detailed photographs and a written report. Whether it involves vibrations from heavy traffic, pile driving, or dewatering: we create a watertight reference point that clearly documents existing defects and prevents disputes.

Development & Infra: Risk Management for Professionals
For contractors and developers, it is essential to minimize failure costs and legal disputes. Our experts map out the risk contours of your project and conduct structural surveys of surrounding buildings and infrastructure. This not only ensures you meet your duty of care but also saves you time and money during the execution of your project. By proactively documenting defects before work begins, you prevent delays and additional costs resulting from potential unjustified damage claims by nearby residents. With SOCOTEC, you choose an independent partner that ensures a smooth construction process and a positive relationship with the surrounding community.
Homeowners: Protect Your Most Valuable Asset
Is there demolition, pile driving, or sewer work taking place on your street? This can cause vibrations and/or settlement that may damage your home. A structural survey by SOCOTEC provides you with the necessary peace of mind. Our inspector documents all existing cracks and defects in an official report. Should new damage occur after the work is completed, you will be in a strong legal position and can easily prove that the damage was not present before the work began. Participation in an inspection is often free of charge for you (commissioned by the builder), but provides you with the crucial evidence needed to protect your property.
