START ABOUT VBK NEWS CAREER PLUG ENGLISH CONSTRUCTION DESIGN PROJECT ADMINISTRATION MAINTENANCE PROJECT MAINTENANCE INFORMATION PROJECT Information A building and its condition change continuously over time. The condition of the building is crucial for its service life. A good way to get an expert assessment of the status of your property is to have a condition inspection performed. During the inspection, an ocular check is made where the current status of the building components is noted. If necessary, measurements or sampling are also performed with subsequent analyzes. This applies, for example, to problems with moisture or microbial activity. The report is often supplemented with a cost-assessed action proposal. The condition inspection can, together with quantity calculation , pricing and maintenance intervals , provide the tools needed for good maintenance planning. Long-term maintenance planning is the best way to extend the life and maintain the value of a property. Local damage can in unfortunate occasions have strong consequences on various parts of the building. When this occurs, an investigation should be performed to determine the cause of the damage. This is performed through a damage inspection, measurements and sampling. With the help of this, an injury report is prepared where analysis of measurements and samples is performed and the cause of the injury is determined. Thereafter, a proposed measure is also produced and an estimated cost is linked to this. Moisture and mold damage in buildings causes damage that costs large sums annually to repair. We have for a long time acquired very good knowledge in this area by performing damage inspections, continuously monitoring the knowledge development in the area and participated in developing good design aids. In the facade of a building, the windows are an essential part of the facade, in terms of appearance and function. The window is a complicated part of the building as its function is to create contact with the outdoor climate at the same time as it must exclude the same. With the help of inspecting the windows, we establish a renovation program balanced by the need for renovation. In addition, we can provide advice and instructions on the possibilities of improving the energy values of existing windows.
