Structural Inspections

Independent structural inspections and condition assessments for commercial, industrial and managed properties — giving owners and asset managers a clear understanding of what is happening and what, if anything, needs to be done.

Whether prompted by visible cracking, movement, deterioration, concerns raised during acquisition, planned refurbishment works or ongoing asset management requirements, Tashi Structures provides clear, practical assessments focused on identifying genuine structural issues, understanding associated risks and establishing proportionate recommendations.

Structural defects can arise from a wide range of causes including foundation movement, material deterioration, corrosion, overloading, water ingress, impact damage, construction defects or alterations undertaken during the building’s lifetime. Tashi Structures undertakes detailed investigations to determine the most likely cause of observed defects, assess their structural significance and advise whether remedial works, monitoring or further investigation are required.

Reports are concise, commercially focused and tailored to the needs of property owners, asset managers, facilities teams, surveyors and investors, helping clients make informed decisions regarding maintenance liabilities, repairs, acquisitions, redevelopment opportunities and long-term asset management.

When you need this

Inspections are typically prompted by visible cracking, movement or deterioration, or as part of acquisition, refurbishment and ongoing asset management. They are equally useful where a building forms part of a portfolio and owners need a consistent view of its structural condition.

Frequently asked questions

What does a commercial structural inspection cover?

We assess the relevant structural elements, identify defects and their likely causes, and judge their significance. The report sets out our findings and any remedial works needed, with enough detail to inform decisions.

Who is the report written for?

Reports are prepared for building owners, asset and facilities managers, surveyors and investors. We write clearly so that both technical and non-technical readers can act on the findings.

What might be causing cracking or movement in our building?

Common causes include foundation movement, corrosion, overloading, water ingress, impact damage and earlier construction defects. The inspection aims to identify which apply and how serious they are.

Can you inspect as part of a property acquisition?

Yes. A pre-acquisition assessment gives an independent view of structural condition and likely liabilities, supporting due diligence and negotiation before you commit.

Can you assess a number of buildings across a portfolio?

Yes. We can carry out inspections across multiple properties and report consistently, helping asset managers prioritise maintenance and capital works.
