Pre and post repair Infrared inspections
Most building owners take it as read that operatives have properly executed and completed repair and maintenance work.
Unfortunately too often this is not the case, and best practice is to agree a methodology for pre and post repair inspection to confirm the quality and effectiveness of the work. This provides benefits to all parties by providing reassurance to the building owner and limiting liability for the company executing the repair.
