Façades

Façade Investigation & Surveys

BuildX carries out façade condition investigations and surveys to identify defects, system failures and compliance risks within existing external wall assemblies.

These investigations support asset management decisions, remediation strategies and compliance reviews.

Typical survey works include:

• External wall system identification
• Façade condition assessments
• Intrusive façade investigations
• Moisture ingress and system failure analysis
• Thermal performance assessment
• Remediation scope development

These surveys can form the first stage of a wider façade remediation programme.
