Building inspections
In many real estate transactions, building inspections form the basis for negotiations between the buyer and seller, or lessee and lessor. What is the building’s structural condition? Has it been properly maintained? In what condition are the building’s various systems, such as heating and air-conditioning or climate control systems?
As an independent engineering and research consultancy, Search can provide answers to all these questions. Our advisors present clearly worded reports containing solutions to the problems at hand, on the basis of structural, environmental and working conditions-related inspections. They also offer insight into future maintenance requirements. Based on our findings, buyer and seller can then assess the risks and determine whether these are manageable. In line with the principle of technical due diligence, Search conducts all building inspections on the basis of the relevant legal frameworks. In addition to conducting inspections and drawing up budgets, we can also offer a broad range of additional services. Our consultants can also assist you with the project management tasks involved in solving any structural problems you may encounter. With extensive experience in construction management, we are able to find practical and cost-effective solutions.
The collective of Search companies is greater than the sum of its parts. At Search, surveys, inspections, laboratory analyses and consultancy are all under the same roof. Bundling our environmental, structural, quality- and safety-related expertise allows our advisors to offer clients a complete overview of any project within a short space of time. Building inspections, for example, are often conducted in combination with soil, asbestos and legionella surveys. Search can also draw up task-setting budgets for any subsequent projects conducted on the basis of these surveys and analyses. The advantage of our approach is obvious: all parties involved in the purchase and sale can turn to Search for a broad range of services, from independent, expert (part) inspections to integral joint surveys.
Search is known for its clearly-worded, transparent reports, containing recommendations towards feasible solutions. Using the factual findings of our building inspectors as a basis, Search can also provide client’s with an extremely accurate indication of the investments they will have to set aside for maintenance in the short, medium and long term.
