Coastal corrosion to strata, commercial buildings and structures including concrete and brick residential mansions along the coastline suffering the effects of the salt laden air and salt spray. The most common damage is spalling concrete cancer, deteriorating and defective waterproofing membranes to concrete floors, roofs and balconies, and deteriorated protective wall coatings, causing cracking and structural sagging of balconies and structural steel rust corrosion of window lintels and balcony balustrades.

Building Diagnosis Centre project manage the contract where rectifications and/or serious maintenance / upgrading works are required to defective buildings. Especially coastal corrosion e.g. spalling concrete cancer, defective and deteriorating waterproofing membranes and protective wall coatings. After preparing detailed specifications / plans we call tenders from reliable experienced remedial licensed contractors, and our investigative consultants insure works meet the contract, standards and costs.

Analytically minded consultants from the Building Diagnosis Centre carry out investigations and inspections assessing quality, progress payments, compliance of work in progress and completion. We evaluate contract documents and variation payment claims. Due to the shortage of skilled tradespeople, we are often called in to discuss with the property owners and the contractor if defective work exists. With contract issues, we help both parties otherwise solicitors and/or the Office of Fair Trading and CTTT settle the matter.
