Condition measurements

Concrete decay, metal fatigue, leaking roofs, rickety foundations, peeling paint, failing technical installations or other, sometimes hidden, defects. A lot of things can be wrong with buildings. Sometimes it can hardly be seen, but not a single defect will escape the attention of our experienced inspectors during a condition measurement. A condition measurement is a standardised investigation of real estate to determine the state of repair, the structural condition and the condition of the technical building installations. 

Standardised norm


When buying or selling real estate, a condition measurement is a fast and effective way to establish if a building has any hidden defects or shortcomings, or if maintenance is overdue. To this end, thorough structural, environmental and safety expertise is required. Only then can an inspector make the right assessment during a condition measurement. As a tool he will use the NEN 2767- document, a standardised norm which ensures an objective end report.

Independent expertise


As an independent engineering and research bureau, Search can carry out objective condition measurements in accordance with NEN-standards. The standard NEN-document serves as the foundation on which our experienced consultants base their report. You can also bring in our consultants for structural, environmental and HSW-related inspections. Search presents the inspection results in clear reports, which also provide an indication of future maintenance. On the basis of this report buyer and seller will be able to assess the risks and determine whether they can be contained.

Integrated services


Research, inspections, laboratory analyses and consultation are all represented under one roof at Search. By combining our knowledge about environmental, structural, quality and safety matters, our consultants are able to provide our clients quickly with a general overview. For all projects which result from investigations, Search can also take on the role of operative manager and take care of task budgets. All parties involved in selling and purchasing real estate will find in Search a single, independent, expert consultation point.
