what is structural audit?

Technical inspection for building strength & safety

Structural audit is a detailed technical inspection of a building to assess its strength, safety, and durability. It uncovers hidden damages and provides a roadmap for repairs.

  • ✓
    Detect hidden structural damages – corrosion, cracks, concrete degradation
  • ✓
    Prevent sudden collapse – early warning saves lives & property
  • ✓
    Increase service life by 20–30 years with targeted retrofitting
  • ✓
    Avoid major repair costs – timely intervention reduces expenses

    why audit is necessary?

    Safety, compliance & peace of mind

    🏚️

    📋

    Required before redevelopment

    Redevelopment projects need a structural stability report to plan demolition or renovation safely.

    Detect hidden damages early

    Cracks, corrosion, spalling – many defects are invisible; NDT reveals them before failure.

    Common questions about structural audit

    Every 10–15 years or if you notice visible cracks, seepage, or before redevelopment.

    Yes, as per municipal guidelines for buildings over 15-30 years, audit is required for safety and redevelopment.

    Non‑destructive techniques like rebound hammer, UPV, etc. to assess concrete quality without damaging the structure.

    Typically 2-5 days on site, plus 5-7 days for lab testing and report preparation.
