A structural audit is a hands-on, site-based assessment of an existing building's structural condition — cracking, settlement, deterioration, and load capacity are all evaluated against the building's original design intent and current use. Fermium's structural audits give owners, buyers, and property managers a clear, documented picture of structural risk across villas, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities anywhere in the UAE.
Our structural audits combine physical site inspection with technical assessment against the building's structural drawings, where available, or reasonable engineering assumptions where they're not. We document visible distress — cracking, spalling, deflection, water ingress affecting structural elements — and assess whether it points to an active structural issue or a cosmetic one.
Every audit is risk-rated, so you understand not just what we found, but how urgently it needs to be addressed. For buildings across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Al Ain, this often supports property transactions, insurance requirements, or simply an owner's due diligence before a major renovation.
Physical inspection of visible and accessible structural elements throughout the building.
Documentation and technical evaluation of cracking, spalling, corrosion, or material deterioration.
Checking whether current occupancy or use exceeds the building's original structural design intent.
Findings rated by urgency, so you know what needs immediate attention versus long-term monitoring.
Comprehensive photographic and written documentation suitable for insurers, buyers, or authorities.
Clear next-step recommendations, from monitoring to full retrofit, based on audit findings.
Understand the real structural condition of a building before you commit to purchase.
Get ahead of structural issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Maintain a documented structural condition history across your portfolio.
Obtain an independent, evidence-based structural condition report.
Most residential audits take half a day to a full day on site, depending on building size and access. Commercial and industrial audits may take longer.
No — while original drawings help, we can conduct a structural audit and make reasonable engineering assessments even without them.
Yes. Our audit reports are prepared to a professional standard suitable for insurance, legal, and authority purposes.
We'll flag urgent findings immediately, ahead of the full written report, and can scope retrofit or strengthening design as a follow-on service.
