Structural Audits & NDT Testing
Structural audits that tell you if your building is safe
A structural audit tells you whether your building is safe, which parts are weak, and what it will take to fix them. We combine a detailed visual survey with non-destructive tests and give you a clear written verdict, in plain language.
Led by Tarun Panwar, Chartered Engineer · IEI Associate Member · IBBI Registered Valuer

What we do
The work, desk by desk
Every job starts with the cause. Here is what this department covers.
Visual condition survey
Every structural member checked, cracks mapped and measured, defects photographed and marked on drawings.
Non-destructive testing
Rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity as per IS 13311, cover meter, carbonation depth and half-cell potential for corrosion.
Core testing
Concrete cores taken and tested at a lab where the numbers need confirming.
Structural checks
Load checks for the present use, extra floors or new equipment, with seismic evaluation as per IS 15988 where needed.
RWA and society audits
Full building audits for housing societies, with the findings explained to residents face to face.
Repair priority plan
What must be fixed now, what can wait, and a cost estimate for each.

Clear documents you can act on, hand to a contractor, or put in front of a department.
- Structural audit report with crack maps and test results
- A safety verdict in plain language

Questions
Structural Audits & NDT Testing: common questions
It depends on the size of the building and the tests needed. A house is quick; a society with several towers takes longer. We give you a clear timeline with the quote, and the report follows once lab results are in.
Most tests are non-destructive. Where cores are needed, they leave small holes that are filled with repair mortar straight after.
Yes. We audit to the format the authority asks for, explain the findings to residents, and help the RWA respond to the notice.
