WHY US ?

By choosing AuthentiSurv for your defect diagnosis and pathology needs, you can expect a meticulous, professional, and comprehensive service that ensures your property’s issues are accurately identified and effectively resolved.

​

Choosing professional surveyors like AuthentiSurv for your defect diagnosis and pathology needs offers several key advantages over free surveys by contractors:

​

Unbiased and Objective Assessments: As independent professionals, we provide impartial assessments focused solely on your best interests. Free surveys from contractors may be biased, with recommendations aimed at securing additional work rather than providing the best solution for your property.

​

Comprehensive Expertise: Our surveyors have extensive training and experience in diagnosing a wide range of building defects. Contractors may lack the depth of knowledge required to accurately identify and address complex issues.

​

Detailed and Reliable Reports: We provide thorough, detailed reports with photographic evidence and clear recommendations. Contractor surveys often lack this level of detail and may not offer comprehensive solutions.

​

Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We use specialist equipment, such as thermal imaging and moisture meters, to detect hidden issues that contractors might miss. This ensures all defects are accurately identified and addressed.

​

Focus on Prevention: Our recommendations include preventive measures to avoid future defects, helping you maintain the long-term health and value of your property. Contractors may focus only on immediate repairs without considering long-term prevention.

​

Cost-Effective Solutions: By accurately diagnosing the root causes of defects, we help you avoid unnecessary repairs and minimise costs. Contractors might propose costly and unnecessary work to increase their profits.

​​

 

Choosing AuthentiSurv means investing in a professional, thorough, and reliable service that prioritises the integrity and longevity of your property. Avoid the risks associated with free contractor surveys and ensure your property is cared for by experts dedicated to delivering the highest standards of service.
