Our Team Expertises uses its years of experience and in-depth building technical knowledge to systematically analyse damage to buildings and formulate technically sound advice.
Our expert Stephanie Van Goethem will be happy to help you and clearly map out the structural reality.
Our experts are called in every day to deal with a wide range of issues, from water infiltration through roofs, facades or exterior joinery to moisture damage in underground structures and deterioration of building materials. Each investigation begins with a thorough inspection of the visible damage, supplemented by a study of as-built plans, specifications and execution details. When the situation requires it, targeted destructive testing is used to reveal the actual structure of building components, connections and water-repellent layers.
Depending on the damage pattern, we use appropriate investigation techniques and measurement methods, such as moisture measurements, leak detection and material samples. In cases where material quality or deterioration mechanisms play a role, we collaborate with specialised laboratories and external experts to objectively substantiate our findings.
The reason why our expertise makes the difference lies in our integrated building technical approach. Damage is not viewed in isolation, but always within the context of the entire building system. This allows us to place errors in detailing at the base of facades, interruptions in waterproofing layers or insufficient drainage in cavity constructions in their proper context. This approach allows us to clearly define causes and formulate structural solutions.
Based on these analyses, we develop practically feasible and technically sound repair proposals, tailored to the specific context of the building. We can also take care of the follow-up of the implementation. In this way, we ensure that the proposed measures are applied correctly and sustainably.
