Pre-assessment for damage valuation
Before starting demolition, building, decontamination or development work in a building or near to it, the owner or administrator will want to have an independent pre-assessment report at his disposal. This type of report is often made by the work’s initiator, but owners of buildings in the vicinity can have reports made about the existing situation independently. In a pre-assessment report, the actual state of a building or property should be meticulously recorded, using both text and images. By consulting this report one can determine quickly whether carrying out the works has caused any damages.
A growing number of real estate owners and administrators, government institutions and private companies use a pre-assessment for damage valuation as a safeguard against third party damages. Pre-assessment for damage valuation is a good instrument to check the actual state of a building or property before the works begin. During renovation, decontamination, demolition or building, it’s possible that subsidence, vibrations or falling debris cause damage to the foundations, roofs, outer walls or interiors of surrounding buildings or properties. The parties concerned can benefit from a pre-assessment report in the valuation of fresh damages and/or rejecting liability for old damages.
Search is an engineering and research bureau, offering a broad service package. Because of our activities in the field of building management we know the problems which may crop up as a consequence of demolition, renovation or building work, or as a result of letting property. Without a pre-assessment report it is hard to determine if the damage is new or if it existed before. It will then require more and more expensive investigations, so there’s much to be said for a timely pre-assessment. Frequently, the damage leads to a lack of trust among parties and this will benefit none of the companies or organisations involved.

After our expert investigation you receive an extensive report, which is your guarantee against any damages resulting from subsequent work. Our service is reliable, customer-oriented and flexible, and moreover: it’s independent.
