Private Client
Our structural inspections and investigations cover a wide variety of scenarios, each requiring a unique approach and specialised knowledge. We're equipped to handle everything from emergency assessments following accidental damage to planned inspections for routine maintenance.
When buildings or structures suffer accidental damage, our team rapidly responds to assess the extent of the damage and recommend immediate safety measures. We provide detailed reports on the structural integrity and outline necessary repairs to restore the building to its original condition or improve it where possible.
Routine structural maintenance is another key area of our expertise. We conduct regular inspections to identify and assess observed defects before they become major issues. This proactive approach helps our clients maintain their buildings effectively, potentially saving significant costs in the long run.
For clients planning structural alterations to buildings or other structures, our inspection services are invaluable. We assess the existing structure to determine its capacity for change, identify potential challenges, and provide guidance on the most effective alteration strategies.
In cases where temporary removal of structural elements is necessary, such as for the installation or removal of equipment or to facilitate internal development, our team conducts careful inspections before, during, and after the process. This ensures that the structural integrity of the building is maintained throughout the operation.
We also specialise in strength assessments for changes in building use or the installation of heavy items such as safes. Our engineers calculate load-bearing capacities and assess the impact of proposed changes on the overall structural stability of the building.
Beyond these scenarios, our structural inspection services extend to heritage buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects. We employ advanced technologies such as drone surveys and 3D scanning where appropriate, combining these with our traditional expertise to provide comprehensive structural assessments.
At Gurney, we understand that each inspection project is unique. Our approach is always tailored to the specific needs of the client and the particulars of the structure in question. We pride ourselves on delivering clear, actionable reports that not only identify issues but also provide practical solutions and recommendations.
Our commitment to thoroughness and accuracy in our inspections helps our clients make informed decisions about their properties, whether for maintenance, renovation, or development purposes. With Gurney’s structural inspection services, you can be confident in the safety, compliance, and longevity of your buildings and structures.
