Construction Quality Inspection - Architectural and Civil Standard

What Is the Building Quality Inspection Service Structurally?

Verifying the quality of the property’s structural element is an essential pillar, as it is examined to ensure that there are no cracks or fissures, and to ensure the use of high-quality building materials. Building Rank Company offers a wide range of modern devices used by our specialized engineers to inspect the quality of structural buildings.

Our specialized team examines the quality of the building from an architectural and engineering perspective, and evaluates its ability to withstand earthquakes, through the following procedures:

First: Inspect The Quality of Construction and Evaluate the General Condition of The Building:

Engineers begin using their equipment to inspect the underground parts of the building, which form the foundations and carry the building's loads and weight from above ground to the soil. Ensure that all support beams, columns and foundations are properly integrated to ensure that no subsurface part collapses and the integrity of the foundations is ensured.

BUILDING RANK also relies on sensory detection to identify any problem that may exist in the above-ground parts of the building. If a problem is suspected, samples of structural parts and soil are taken for laboratory testing in the laboratory. This includes tests to detect cracks, uneven slumps, buckling, and any bowing in the roof or beams. These tests can be destructive or non-destructive, and can be performed on site or in the laboratory. Every effort is made to not damage elements of the facility as much as possible.

Non-destructive inspections for construction quality include several techniques available through inspection equipment, and these techniques are crucial to assessing the quality of concrete and detecting any problems in it. These technologies include:

• Hammer test to measure the strength of concrete.

• Ultrasound examination to diagnose the internal condition of concrete.

• Scan to detect hidden rebar.

• Detect hidden items in walls.

• Measuring the width of cracks to evaluate the condition of concrete.

Second: Engineers Will Evaluate Several Points When Requesting a Construction Quality Inspection Service According to The Inspection of Civil and Architectural Systems. These Points Include the Following:

• Surface.

• Car parks and skylights.

• Examining and evaluating the strength of concrete in structural elements.

• Inspecting and evaluating concrete slabs.

• Inspection of the building envelope and external frame.

• Inspecting and evaluating the general condition of the building.

• The main entrance and the beginning of the stairs.

• Living room points.

• Inspecting and evaluating interior finishes.

• Inspection and evaluation of thermal insulation.

• Guest room points.

• Inspection and evaluation of windows.

• Checking and evaluating ventilation and sunlight entering the rooms.

• Points for the guest bathroom and toilet.

• Checking and evaluating ventilation and natural sunlight entering bathrooms.

• Special points for the master bedroom.

• Tile works.

• Points for bathroom, master bedroom and toilet.

• Points for children's bedrooms and bathrooms.

• Inspection and evaluation of walls.

• Check the kitchen points.

• Examine the main corridors.

• Balcony inspection.

Engineers’ teams analyze the architectural and structural element to arrive at a comprehensive assessment of the building from an engineering standpoint. This is done through the construction quality inspection service, where data is collected and placed in a report delivered to the customer. This report aims to provide the client with a clear vision of the property from an architectural and engineering perspective. Engineers also check several other aspects, including:

• 1- Evaluating the quality of the soil and its ability to amplify or dampen seismic waves. The quality of the foundation's connection to the structure is also evaluated and its strength is determined.

• 2- The materials and components used in construction, their quality and resistance to earthquakes are evaluated. The durability and stability of non-structural components such as roofs, facades and interior parts are also evaluated.

• 3- Potential weaknesses and problems that may affect the building and its resistance to earthquakes are identified. These points are discovered and clarified in the report to focus on enhancing and improving the architecture in the future.

Third: Benefits of the Building Quality Inspection Service for The Customer:

• The construction quality assessment and inspection enhance the structural element, concrete strength, material quality and foundation solidity, and this gives the client a comprehensive understanding of how good the property is. In addition, this service helps owners understand the actual condition of their properties and determine their value, as well as providing guidance on how to maintain them.

• The engineering team will prepare a detailed report documenting all the defects discovered with pictures, in addition to explaining how to address these defects and overcome weak points, with the aim of improving the property and returning it to its best condition. In addition, the engineers will provide a set of recommendations on how to preserve the building in the future and ensure its sustainability.
