This service is needed when legal action has been taken in a construction dispute and the lawyer requires specific technical assistance.

What you need to know

In the case of damaged buildings, Vinçotte offers several services:

  • Visual inspections
  • Tests and measurements
  • Technical expertise within the legal framework

In the case of construction damage, our experts carry out visual inspections. Damage may include:

  • Leaks, seepage, damp,
  • Cracks, splits, subsidence, deterioration,
  • Corrosion, ageing, depreciation,
  • Etc.

When plans are available and made available to our experts, tests and measurements can be carried out to analyze potential problems. This enables them to detect anomalies and propose the necessary solutions.

In the event of disputes arising from construction defects or damage, the injured parties can initiate legal proceedings and appoint a legal expert. The latter may require a technical expert report from an independent body. This is where Vinçotte comes in as an independent expert.

Advantages

With this service, you receive technical advice in the form of a report. On the basis of this report, you can repair the defects so that the structure can be safely returned to service. In the event of construction disputes, the report can also assist the legal expert in his or her proceedings.
