Independent technical opinion. Clear evidence. Defensible conclusions.
Surveying expertise for property and construction disputes where the cause, significance and responsibility for defects or condition must be explained clearly.
Technical property evidence for solicitors, insurers, owners and professional clients.
Iridium can provide independent inspection, analysis and reporting on building defects and property condition, drawing on extensive surveying, valuation and project delivery experience.
Building Defects
Investigation of cracking, movement, damp, roofing, drainage, workmanship and construction defects, with consideration of likely cause and significance.
Construction Workmanship
Independent technical assessment of alleged defective, incomplete or substandard construction and refurbishment work.
Schedules & Condition
Evidence-based assessment of property condition, historic deterioration and disputed repair obligations.
Construction Disputes
Technical review of workmanship, incomplete works, specification issues and the quality or adequacy of remedial proposals.
Desktop Review
Review of reports, photographs, drawings, correspondence and other property records before or alongside site inspection.
Clear Reporting
Structured reporting that distinguishes fact, professional opinion, assumptions and recommended further evidence.
Independent first. Practical throughout.
Expert evidence must be objective. The role is to assist the court or tribunal with matters within the surveyor's expertise, not to advocate for the instructing party.
Instructions can be scoped to suit the dispute, from an initial technical review through to detailed inspection and a formal expert report.
Where specialist structural, drainage, services, laboratory or other evidence is required, this will be identified rather than assumed.
