Technical surveys
Technical expert opinions
An Expert opinion is the documented examination of a case or a state of affairs and data by a technical expert, aiming at drafting a technical report that includes a description of the current situation, commenting on the available data and drawing conclusions. An on-site check, topographic measurements and surveys, structural survays, additional data collection, information collection from the parties involved, market research, proposals are carried out on a case-by-case basis, resulting in a tangible result.
Cases for which expert opinions are drawn up
- valuation of property
- measurements of technical work
- floor plans/drawings of buildings and plots
- findings of defects and assessment of the method and cost for their repair
- interpretation of technical situations
- interpretation of urban planning and legal provisions
- project Progress
- review of technical studies
- control of noise or pollution due to the operation of installations
- property disputes
In most cases, the process of drawing up an expert opinion is initiated through legal proceedings and this expert opinion is an important element for the continuation of such proceedings. An expert opinion is of the highest importance and, most evidently, it should be the result of concentration, experience and diligence. In any case, the procedure for drawing up an expert opinion may also be initiated privately, in order to provide technical support to litigation.
The company has excellent experience in drawing up expert opinions, both through appointment by courts and through assignment by individuals.
Technical and Urban Planning Inspection of Real Estate
Technical inspection is an element of detailed analysis encompassing all technical characteristics of the property from an urban planning, structural and legal point of view. Moreover, the legality of the property, the integrity of the installation and the functionality of the property are checked. Similarly, the current status of the property is checked along with its legal and proprietary documents (building permits, deeds and title of property, etc.), the permitting regime and compliance with the urban planning rules as well as with the legislative framework governing each activity.
Technical inspection is a key tool for the actual state of the property, guiding all related decision-making. Technical Inspection Report is addressed not only to property owners, but also to potential buyers, because it contains all the important elements of a property, such as the possibilities of further exploitation of the property and any problems/restrictions it may be subject to, etc.
Risk identification and assessment is effected and proposals are provided for their management, for an upcoming transaction/investment. The drafting of a technical and urban inspection report on a property provides a complete overview of the current condition, the wider area and the installations of the property, while analyzing and prioritizing potential risks.
The company prepares technical audits of excellent quality and in-depth detail, guiding the customer in making the best decision for the property.
Architectural survey
Architectural survey defines the floor plans, the dimensions and the configuration of indoor spaces of the building, in order to fulfill the wishes of the customer to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the appropriate location and orientation of the building within the plot are determined and appropriate design and positioning of the openings per orientation is made, in order to achieve optimal sun exposure, natural lighting and ventilation.
The company undertakes the preparation of architectural surveys either individually or in the context of building permits.
Structural surveys (statics)
The Structural survey of a building is a stand-alone survey aiming to assess the dimensions of materials used and determine the exact location of the load-bearing elements of a construction. It is a basic survey on the structural adequacy and safety of the construction.
The company undertakes the preparation of architectural studies either individually or in the context of building permits.
Electrical and mechanical surveys
Electrical and mechanical surveys are a series of surveys that determine the heating, cooling, water, sewage, fire protection, ventilation, electrical installations, elevators, energy saving and thermal insulation of buildings.
The company undertakes the preparation of electrical and mechanical surveys either individually or in the context of building permits.
Layout alterations and refurbishment surveys
During the life span of a property, it is reasonable for the needs of the user to change, leading to the relevant change in the layout and some mild or in-depth renovation. The company provides solutions for altering the layout of the spaces, proposes a selection of materials for the technical integrity of the intervention, prepares the necessary implementation surveys ensuring functionality and technical competence.
Project Scheduling
Project Scheduling is a planning and monitoring tool of the construction works and provides an overview of the progress of the technical works in relation to the initially planned schedule of the Project. This saves time, cost and manpower, optimizing the efficiency of construction works. The company fully undertakes the preparation of Project Scheduling, and the observance of its execution throughout the construction works.
Topographic Surveys
Topographical surveys are the technical steppingstone for the issuance of building permits whether it is for the construction of a new structure or for its alteration. In addition, they are necessary for a variety of technical support cases, such as the drafting of notarial deeds, cadastral declarations, objections to forest maps, the accurate declaration of surfaces in a tax context, the supervision of the current condition of the property, the legalization on unregulated constructions, etc. The company can undertake the drafting of topographic surveys for any property, in line with the specifications of the legislation, depending on the requirements.
Budgeting technical projects
Budgeting technical projects includes the pre-measurement of both the materials and works required, with the ultimate objective of establishing a documented and accurate budget. The update may concern either information for own use in order to decide on the progress of the project or for some bank loan, without excluding numerous other requirements for the preparation of budgeting. The long-standing experience in the construction sector guarantees the completeness and accuracy of the preparation of a valid and reliable budgeting of technical projects.
