Architectural research
Professional building surveys for property owners, VVEs and housing associations. Receive tailored advice and solutions for leaks, moisture problems and more.
An appropriate solution
On behalf of property owners, owners’ associations, and housing associations, our construction specialists provide advice on leaks, moisture problems, and mould nuisance caused by construction defects and/or occupant behaviour. But because of our independence, an expert opinion for lawyers or courts, for example, is also possible.
We combine our architectural knowledge with modern techniques and a solution-oriented approach. Thus, we carry out thorough indoor climate and building physics investigations with appropriate advice. We specialise in detecting leaks and investigating crack formation, airtightness, and odour complaints, among other things, up to and including a complete building survey. In doing so, we always provide tailor-made solutions that are tailored to your specific situation and needs.
Our working method
Our specialists conduct thorough investigations into various aspects of a property, such as leaks, indoor climate and moisture problems. After careful analysis, you will receive appropriate advice. We always help you find the best solution.
Dolmans uses modern equipment and techniques. For example, we use advanced data loggers to measure the temperature, humidity and CO2 content in a room over a certain period of time. If necessary, we also take air and contact samples to determine the presence and concentration of mould, fine dust and soot. We always record our findings in a detailed report. This report serves as a guide for solving the identified problems.
Why Dolmans in building surveys?
- We always use state-of-the-art techniques, which enable us to deliver accurate and reliable results.
- Every building survey is unique. Our specialists deliver tailor-made solutions tailored to your specific situation and needs.
- We also carry out preventive architectural investigations. This is of interest to parties where there is a transfer of responsibilities within a process or to prevent consequential damage. A preventive check of the indoor environment reduces the risk of health complaints and prevents them in the future.
- Our specialists – with prior architectural training – master all aspects of structural surveys. Thermographic studies, roof leak surveys and depth moisture measurements: we do it for you.
- We carry out independent architectural surveys. This allows us to provide reliable and objective analyses.
FAQ
What is a building survey?
A structural survey is a thorough inspection of a building or building component to assess its structural condition and any defects. We conduct this survey as an independent expert and offer insight into the overall condition of the property.
How expensive is a building survey?
The cost of a building survey varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the building, its location and the client's specific requirements. You can always request a no-obligation quote from us.
How long does a building survey take?
The duration of a structural survey depends on the size and complexity of the building. In general, a standard survey can take from a few hours to a day.
What is examined during a building survey?
During a building survey, we examine various aspects of the building, including its structure, foundation, roof, walls, floors, windows and doors. We also identify any defects, damage, or deficiencies and advise on possible repairs.
Can a building survey help detect mould problems?
Yes, a structural survey can be used to determine the cause of mould, whether due to structural defects or the use of the property. Also, by taking air and/or contact samples, the possible harmfulness of the moulds can be determined. We also draw up a plan for mould remediation.
How long does it take to receive the results of a building survey?
The results of the survey are incorporated into a comprehensive report, which we provide within two weeks of the survey's completion.
On average, how long does it take to complete a building survey?
Depending on the complexity and scope of the investigation, this will take from half to a full working day. If we suspect that the investigation will take several investigation days, this will be indicated in advance.
