We inspect houses and flats in Keda and provide technical supervision over renovation and construction carried out by others. We come with a thermal camera, moisture meter, laser level and socket tester, and deliver the report with photographs within a day. An hour’s drive from our base in Batumi along the mountain road.
What we check
Foundation and walls, cracks and signs of movement; floors, often timber in older houses; roof, gutters and junctions; insulation of the envelope, the heating and protection of the pipework against freezing; engineering — board, earthing, water and drainage; the plot — gradient, drainage, the condition of the retaining structures; the floor area and boundaries against the documents.
What we find in Keda
Most of the housing stock is old stone houses, and the findings match: timber floors in poor condition, a foundation without waterproofing, a roof with no ventilation gap where condensation collects. All of it can be dealt with, but the volume of work has to be known before the purchase rather than after.
The second theme is the mountain climate. A thermal camera shows that a house which is comfortable in summer is expensive to heat in winter: the envelope is uninsulated, the windows are old, and air conditioners alone do not cover it here.
The third is the plot: on slopes we check the drainage and the retaining walls, because it is those that decide the fate of the house a few years on.
Supervision of works
If another crew is doing the build or the renovation, we come at the key stages before concealed work is closed up and report after every visit.
Timing and price
A house with its plot takes half a day, with the report within a day. The inspection is priced by floor area, supervision by the number of visits; the trip into the mountains is discussed separately and shown openly in the calculation.
Before buying a plot or a house
We will go together and look at more than the building: the land designation, the boundaries, the access, the water and the electricity. In the mountains, access and utilities often decide more than the state of the walls.
Also in the municipality: renovation, construction, custom furniture, cleaning. All services: Keda; general terms: site supervision.
