Structural Testing & Investigation
Barwin’s advanced condition evaluation techniques and expert knowledge allow us to provide clients with a preliminary understanding of structural conditions at a reasonable cost.
A condition evaluation or condition survey begins with a visual walk-through, followed by either a preliminary or detailed survey to identify the extent of distress, potential causes, and potential deterioration mechanisms. The condition survey is generally a precursor to extensive investigation, testing, and repair recommendations. In every case, Barwin Property Services Ltd uses its vast experience from prior projects to perform the best possible condition assessment within the client’s budget.
