Introduction
With experts who have many years of experience in structural engineering, structural audit, and project management, we offer efficient consulting services to our clients in every aspect of their building rehabilitation project. Our engineers are highly qualified to deal with various repair methods and apply the latest techniques in an economical format for end-to-end repair work in housing societies, industrial units, and commercial buildings.
SERVICES
Our wide experience in all kinds of architectural and structural building repair methodologies equips us to provide the following services to our clients:
- Conduction of survey and preparation of budget estimates
- Preparation of tender, bid invites and finalization of contractor
Let's take a detailed look at our role through the various steps involved in the project:
Preparation of inspection report
Before commencing repair work, we conduct a thorough internal and external inspection of the building along with individual flats to assess the following :
- Damage to structural members.
- Cause of leakages in the building (whether due to environmental conditions like monsoon or a result of internal faults, i.e. kitchen, bath, W.C) .
- Condition of external plaster, drain lines, water supply lines, waterproofing of terrace and overhead & underground tanks, and plinth protection.
- Major alterations to building plan by any occupant that could affect the stability of the structure.
Our role as consultants involves carefully analysing the various damages to the building before proceeding towards shaping a viable and long lasting repair methodology.
Preparation of budget estimate
- The inspection report will outline the different options available for the repair project along with an estimate cost against each technique to present a composite picture for the client to take action upon. Please note that all estimates generated by us conform to current market rates and also take into account the requirement of a proper grade of repair.
We also undertake consulting projects that require priority-based work in cases with fund limitations. A detailed report highlights the crucial aspects of building repair to ensure steady execution of repair.

Selection of contractor
- The final step before commencing a building repair project is inviting bids from contractors. We share the project details with carefully selected, technically and financially sound contractors and invite them to submit bids for the same. All sealed tenders will be opened in your presence and we will proceed to prepare a Bid Comparison Report based on detailed study of all submitted bids. Three short-listed contractors are invited for interview and negotiation, along with site visits to their current and old projects. After careful consideration and negotiation rounds, the most suited contractor choice is selected to carry out the proposed repair work.
