Overview
Facilities are exposed to continuous stresses from age, occupancy, environmental conditions, operational activities, modifications, and natural deterioration. Without regular assessments, hidden structural defects and safety risks can compromise the integrity of a facility, endanger occupants, result in costly repairs or operational disruptions and loss of lives.
Our Structural & General Safety Review provides a thorough evaluation of building structures and overall safety conditions to identify potential risks, assess structural performance, and ensure facilities remain safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.
What We Assess
Our review covers key structural elements and general safety conditions, including:
- Structural framework and load-bearing elements
- Foundations and settlement indicators
- Beams, columns, slabs, and structural walls
- Roof structures and support systems
- Building facades and external envelopes
- Concrete deterioration and reinforcement exposure
- Cracks, deflections, and signs of movement
- Corrosion of structural steel components
- Water ingress and moisture-related damage
- Balconies, canopies, and suspended structures
- Staircases, walkways, and access platforms
- Handrails, guardrails, and fall protection systems
- General building condition and maintenance status
- Emergency access and egress arrangements
- Structural modifications and alterations
- Occupant and public safety concerns
