Strutural Audit

Structural Audit

A Structural Audit is a detailed assessment of a building or structure conducted to evaluate its structural safety, stability, and integrity. It is typically performed by qualified engineers or structural professionals and involves a thorough examination of all critical structural elements, such as foundations, beams, columns, walls, and roofs, to identify any signs of deterioration, damage, or potential hazards.

  • Evaluate Structural Health: Assessing the condition of the structure to detect any cracks, corrosion, wear, or other damage that could affect its strength and stability.
  • Recommend Maintenance and Repairs: Providing expert guidance on necessary repairs, reinforcements, or preventive measures to enhance the structure’s lifespan and reliability.
