Existing Building & Ground Movement Investigations
Understand what needs investigating before deciding what to repair. Ground conditions, foundations and changes around a property can all be relevant to an existing-building assessment.
Discuss a Building Concern
When this service helps
Share the observed problem, photographs, building history and available engineering reports. We can scope ground investigations and footing probes, with structural engineering input coordinated where required.
What you receive
Investigation findings addressing the ground-related movement questions in your brief. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
Site observations and investigation findings
Possible ground-related contributing factors
Recommended further assessment or monitoring
Your questions, answered
Can one inspection establish the cause of all cracking?
Not always. Structural assessment, level monitoring, drainage investigation or further ground testing may be needed to distinguish possible causes.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send your site address, proposed works, available plans or reports, access details and preferred timing. You can enquire before all plans are available.
When can the work be arranged?
Tell us your preferred timing and any access constraints. We’ll confirm the site visit and reporting timeframes for the agreed work before it begins.
