    Who we are

    Who we are

    BuildScan was created for clients who need a clear, objective and documented assessment of a property. We offer private technical property inspection services and documentation of the visible condition of buildings, for buyers, owners, investors and real estate professionals.

    Our experience covers residential and commercial projects, office buildings, industrial halls, schools and institutions. We understand that every property has its own particularities, which is why checking an apartment before purchase or checking a house before purchase is carried out in a structured way, adapted to the type of property.

    Our aim is to provide useful, easy to understand information about what can be observed, measured and documented during the inspection: from documenting property defects to the technical property report used when checking a building before acquisition.

    Experience

    Professional experience gained on complex projects

    Before returning to Romania, the founder of BuildScan worked in the United Kingdom as a Senior Construction Manager for construction companies of European scale, involved in complex, large scale projects.

    Later, he worked as a Clerk of Works and construction quality inspector, both for private clients and for governmental organisations and public institutions in healthcare, education, justice and defence.

    Responsibilities included checking the quality of the works, controlling compliance with the design and technical specifications, identifying non-conformities and monitoring the maintenance of quality standards on projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds sterling.

    After returning to Romania, the experience gained over more than 20 years is put to work for BuildScan clients.

    Method

    How we work

    01

    We observe

    We visually check the accessible elements of the property and identify observable defects, alterations and non-conformities.

    02

    We measure

    We use relevant measurements, including laser measurements, indicative moisture checks and, where necessary, thermal imaging.

    03

    We document

    We take located photographs, notes, measurements and structured observations, so the findings can be traced and understood.

    04

    We interpret prudently

    Separately from the direct observations, we explain possible causes and state when a check by an authorised specialist is needed.

    We observe. We measure. We document. We interpret prudently.

    Principles

    BuildScan principles

    Seriousness

    We treat every inspection with responsibility, attention to detail and respect for the important decision the client is about to make.

    Transparency

    We explain what we checked, what could not be checked and what the limits of the finding are.

    Independence

    We are not affiliated with the seller, the developer, the estate agency or any company carrying out repairs for the issues identified.

    Professionalism

    We use a structured method, clear documentation and recommendations proportionate to what was observed.

    Independence

    An independent assessment, with no interest in remedial works

    BuildScan does not carry out repair works and does not condition the report on hiring a particular contractor. Our role is to observe, measure and document the accessible condition of the property.

    This separation helps maintain an objective and transparent approach, whether the inspection is requested by a buyer, owner, tenant, estate agent or investor.

    What does a BuildScan inspection not replace?

    A BuildScan inspection is a visual, non-invasive and non-destructive assessment of accessible elements. It can identify indications, visible defects and risks that require attention, but it does not guarantee that all hidden defects will be identified.

    Legal checks carried out by a notary
