IDENTIFY AND SOLVE ADEQUATELY
YOUR BUILDING PROBLEMS
Our inspection solutions
Just like a human body, a building can show signs of weakness that should be taken seriously. Usually, such signs manifest themselves through visual, olfactory and/or odor changes. Sometimes our senses are unable to detect them. And this is the investigative work of an expert engineer to identify the causes of these disorders, define the corrective measures to be taken and check whether it is possible to make an appeal (with a seller, a contractor, etc.) so that the financial burden of the work does not fall on you.
If your building shows signs of cracks, subsidence, mold, condensation or even water infiltration, it is important to act quickly. Delaying the investigation can lead to the spread of the deficiency which will be even more expensive to rectify later. An inspection thus serves to ensure the safety of individuals, meet legal requirements (law 122 for facades and parking lots for example), maintain the value of your property and assert your rights.
Calling in our experts means ensuring optimal financial and real estate management.
WHAT WE OFFER
Whether a fall from a wall cladding (for example, a brick) is involved or an accessory (for example, a chimney) collapsing from a facade, the consequences can be serious both at the material and human level. Such unfortunate incidents demonstrate the dilapidated and dangerous nature of the lack of maintenance of facades, which have become a public safety issue.
One of the big fears of property owners is a poor roof – and more generally waterproofing problems. These, if they are not identified and treated in time, can lead to premature wear of the building. Clogged pipes, loose joints, accumulations of water … are all clues that can explain, among other things, the appearance of damp areas under the roof membranes and heat loss from the building.
Freeze and thaw cycles, de-icing salts and abrasives in climates such as we know them in Quebec put a strain on parking decks, especially those not resting on the ground. The so-called “122” law took the lead and enshrined the inspection of parking decks as an obligation in the Safety Code of the Régie du Bâtiment du Québec.
A technical-legal expertise, also called expertise in “hidden defects” is a process to assert your rights and / or defend yourself against one or more defects noted after a transaction. Carried out by an engineer-expert in hidden defects, the report of this expertise must be impartial, transparent, and perhaps submitted to a judge before a Court of Justice.
In the industrial, institutional, and commercial sector, the financial stakes are major. Entrepreneurs and investors must make informed choices about the safety and condition of their real estate assets. Our objective: to ensure that the building does not contain dangerous conditions and to define the corrective work if necessary.
