Building analysis

Livit building analysis provides transparency in a systematic, structured and detailed way. 

You know how old your properties are and you probably have a general idea of their condition. 

However, the individual structural components of your property age at different rates depending on their quality, function, exposure and maintenance. So it’s important that you have an overview of potential action items to avoid unplanned patch-up repairs and a drop in value. You also need the ability to plan and fund renovations proactively.

To work out ahead of time what maintenance measures are needed when, for which structural components – this is something you can only get from a detailed, structured building analysis. The software we use provides a structured guide for our employees as they record the age and condition of each building component.

Based on the remaining service life of individual building components, it identifies which measures can be efficiently bundled and optimally coordinated.

The aim: to save you time and money.

Step 1

Visit from our construction experts

Our specialists record the age, the construction and the condition of all key components of the building envelope, the building technology, the interior and the surroundings, as well as the safety-related risks. Depending on the situation, we may recommend bringing in experts – for functions like probing, structural checks or clarification on harmful substances.

Step 2

Recording data

Our specialists make a systematic, structured digital record of the information using a tool specifically designed for this purpose. The digitally captured data is documented and assessed according to a consistent standard. All key characteristics, including condition, materials and photographs, are recorded quickly and comprehensively. That means we can ensure a consistent level of quality and appraisal.

Step 3

Recommendations for maintenance measures

Our experts use mathematical models to calculate the likelihood of breakdown and remaining service life for each of the structural components. Depending on the end of the service life, we can recommend an appropriate package of combined measures and the best time to implement them – adapted to your property strategy, of course.

In our extensive report, you’ll find short-, medium- and long-term recommendations for refurbishment along with a costing, giving you the perfect basis for your budgeting. We also give you the data in digital form so you can feed it into your systems, depending on technological requirements. 

Let’s make your refurbishment plannable.
