Property inspection services
Before handover or completion of works, inspectors check workmanship, equipment and leakage with professional tools and list defects for rectification. Our inspectors are trained by Hong Kong government-registered engineers and building surveyors, and reports are prepared by building surveyors. Inspection priorities vary by property type:
Handover is a key opportunity to request developer rectification. For completed first-hand or pre-sale properties, inspectors check the whole unit and prepare a consolidated defect list. Deadlines depend on the sale and purchase agreement, so arrange an inspection promptly after handover.
Years of use can cause seepage, hollow areas and ageing plumbing or electrical installations. Inspectors use infrared scans and moisture meters to assess the unit. If leakage is suspected, further investigation can includeLeak source detection, helping buyers and owners understand the property before renovation.
After renovation and before final payment, an independent inspector checks masonry, paint, joinery, doors, windows, plumbing and electrical workmanship, listing items for the contractor to rectify.
After the developer or contractor completes repairs, the inspector checks the defect list again. Re-inspection is included in our fee, with no separate charge.

Leak detection
Lasting repairs depend on accurately identifying the source. Our team includes Authorised Persons and registered surveyors; engineers, surveyors and Authorised Persons analyse results and corroborate them with multiple tests. We investigate ceilings, external and internal walls, floors, roofs, burst pipes and sewage backflow to identify causes and clarify responsibility.
Infrared cameras measure surface temperature differences to locate potentially wet areas without damaging finishes. Depending on site conditions, we combine them with:
Reports can be signed by recognised registered professionals for court proceedings and engineering meetings. We also offer loss assessments, expert witnesses and integrated repairs, including roof, bathroom, window, wall and kitchen waterproofing.
