In-Situ Inspection Procedure

Preparation and inspection checklist

Before performing any physical inspection, our team prepares through a systematic process that includes basic information gathering and the development of a specific plan for each type of property. This approach allows us to adapt our protocols whether it is single-family homes, multi-family buildings, commercial premises, or land.

Our inspection checklist is divided into specific sections that examine all relevant construction aspects:

• Foundation and structure: Evaluation of structural integrity, presence of cracks, differential settlements, or deformations.
• Roofs and terraces: Review of waterproofing, state of tiles or membranes, drainage systems, and potential leaks.
• Facades and enclosures: Analysis of coatings, cracks, dampness, and general state of conservation.
• Electrical installation: Verification of panels, wiring, grounding, capacity, and regulatory compliance.
• Sanitary installations: Inspection of pipes, drains, cisterns, pumps, and treatment systems if they exist.
• HVAC systems: Review of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.
• Exterior and interior carpentry: Evaluation of the state of doors, windows, and finishes.
• Accessibility and circulation: Analysis of compliance with current accessibility regulations.
• Common elements: In multi-family buildings, review of elevators, lobbies, stairs, and other shared elements.

We use specialized equipment such as thermographic cameras, moisture meters, leveling instruments, and hidden installation detectors, which allow us to perform non-invasive but highly precise evaluations.

Technical reports: format, photographs, and annexes

After completing the physical inspection, we prepare a detailed technical report that constitutes a fundamental piece of the certification process. Our reports follow a standardized but personalized format for each property, guaranteeing clarity and utility for the client.

The technical report includes:

• Executive summary: Synthesis of the main findings and conclusions, with a traffic light system (green, yellow, red) indicating the risk level or severity of each evaluated aspect.
• Exhaustive photographic documentation: High-resolution images of all relevant aspects, with explanatory technical annotations contextualizing each finding.
• Detailed systems analysis: Itemized evaluation of each of the construction elements and installations, indicating current status, estimated useful life, and recommendations.
• Pathology identification: Record of detected anomalies, their possible causes and consequences, accompanied by a severity analysis.
• Budget estimate: When deficiencies requiring intervention are detected, we include an approximate budget that allows the client to evaluate the economic impact.
• Technical recommendations: Specific suggestions for resolving identified problems, establishing priorities according to their urgency.
• Technical annexes: Complementary documentation such as plans, technical sheets, specific measurements, and results of tests performed.

Our reports are designed to be understandable for both industry professionals and clients without technical training. We use clear language and avoid excessive technicalities, complementing explanations with graphics and diagrams when necessary.

The report delivery includes a personalized explanation session where our technician answers the client's questions and delves into the most relevant aspects of the document. Additionally, we offer a follow-up service to verify the correct implementation of the recommendations made.
