Before you buy or renovate

A building can look sound and still have expensive problems. We examine its condition, review how it operates and explain which repairs or upgrades deserve attention. Based in Muscat, we work with property owners, buyers and investors in Oman.

What happens when you appoint us

Agree the scope

Tell us about the property and the decision you need to make. We agree what to inspect, which records to review and when you need the report.

Visit the building

We inspect the agreed areas, speak with the people who operate the building and take measurements where the investigation requires them.

Explain the findings

You receive a report with photographs, repair priorities and recommendations. We discuss the findings with you and identify any further tests needed.

Investigating cracks, moisture and heat loss.

A stain on a wall may have several causes. We look at its location, the surrounding construction and moisture readings before recommending a repair. Thermal imaging can help identify where a closer investigation is needed.

Making better use of existing buildings

We look for opportunities to repair rather than replace, reduce unnecessary energy and water use, and make buildings more comfortable for the people who use them. That can mean resolving a persistent leak, improving shading or extending the life of equipment that still has useful service ahead of it.
