ACTIVE IN VARIOUS FIELDS

We are pleased to offer our expertise in the field of building technology for various types of homes. Whether it's historic buildings, modern villas, newly constructed apartments, or traditional single-family homes, each type of property has its specific points of attention. Our goal is to use our extensive knowledge and experience not only to identify (existing) deficiencies but also to propose solutions that promote sustainability and cost efficiency.

Single-family homes

Single-family homes serve as the cornerstone of many communities, ranging from historic worker's cottages with rich histories to distinctive 1930s residences and contemporary new builds. Our extensive experience in inspecting these diverse property types allows us to provide reliable insights to both buyers and sellers.

 

Building Technical Aspects:

  • Worker's Cottages: Whether it's charming worker's cottages with unique features, we meticulously examine the building's technical condition, including the roof, facades, foundation, and more.

  • 1930s Residences: With these characteristic pre-war homes, we pay special attention to the original details. Through experience, we are familiar with the technical risks, and we can advise you if you plan to modernize the property with the aim of achieving a high-quality and cost-efficient result that approaches current building standards.

  • 1950s-1990s: For homes from these decades, most of the construction errors made in the past have already been resolved. However, there are often critical points due to fast construction or the use of new (substandard) materials that can lead to defects.

  • New Builds: New construction homes often have fewer defects, and to provide added value, the inspection is approached more as a handover to the first occupant. We offer additional explanations and guidance for occupancy, ensuring that you can use the property's installation systems optimally. Sometimes, there are still opportunities for improvements in terms of efficiency.

Apartments 

Whether you call a new construction apartment home, reside in a characteristic upper or lower flat, or indulge in the elegance of an apartment within a historic building, we specialize in providing insights tailored to your unique situation.

​

Building Technical Aspects:

  • Quality Control: During our inspections, we assess whether the apartments, urban living spaces, etc., meet existing quality and safety standards.

  • Safety and Sound: Your safety and living comfort are important to us. We pay extra attention to sound insulation and various safety aspects, and if necessary, we provide suggestions for practical improvements.

  • Association of owners (VVE) Costs: In an apartment, you deal with the association of owners (VVE). We also aim to identify potential issues like roof problems, façade concerns, or ground-level moisture, giving you insight into potential future expenses and maintenance within the association of owners (VVE).

Detached homes & villas

Detached homes and villas embody a sense of space, privacy, and luxury. From graceful villas to spacious detached houses, my extensive experience in inspecting these diverse property types allows us to provide reliable insights to both buyers and sellers.

​

Building Technical Aspects:

  • Unique Design: Each detached home and villa is often unique in its architecture and design. We pay extra attention to these distinctive elements and assess their maintenance condition.

  • Attention to Detail: Detached homes and villas are often built with meticulous attention to detail, where finishes and materials are of paramount importance. Our inspections focus on the quality of materials, finishes, and craftsmanship.

  • Spatial Considerations: The amount of space and quantities are often crucial when assessing repair costs. We take these factors into account to provide accurate insight into potential expenses for future maintenance and repairs.

​

Historic buildings

Historic buildings are rich treasures that reflect our past. It is crucial to treat these historical properties with care. One essential aspect for us is finding the balance between historical preservation and modernization. We aim to strike the right equilibrium while adhering to the applicable regulations.

 

Building Technical Considerations:

  • Foundation and Structural Integrity: Evaluate the stability and durability of the foundation and structural components without compromising the historical integrity.

  • Restoration Needs: Carefully identify restoration needs, including façade repairs, roof maintenance, and woodworking, while respecting original materials and methods.

  • Restoration of Windows and Doors: Old windows and doors often characterize historic buildings. Ensure that they are repaired and restored rather than replaced entirely.
