Assessment of the technical condition of the building before purchase
Assessment of the technical condition of the building before purchase
I have been assessing the technical condition of buildings before purchase for 7 years. I have the precise measuring equipment necessary to conduct a professional house inspection. I work as Construction Manager and Investor’s Supervision Inspector, which greatly improves the quality of my building assessment services.

Report and documentation
You will receive a report from each inspection within 7 days, detailing the defects, containing photos, and indicating components that require repair. Clients often ask for a quote for necessary repairs to various building elements, which is also part of my offer.
By verifying the building before purchase, you will also receive information on the technical documentation of the building – I inspect it for completeness.
