Learn more about the on-site construction inspection

Site inspections can be carried out at any stage and are often key to ensuring that any works proceed in accordance with the intended design principles. By consulting Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd to manage this for you, you can avoid time-consuming delays and rectification costs. Book your consultation with our team in Cambridge.

Construction inspections – an essential for the success of your project

Although the act of an on-site inspection is utilised less and less in modern construction, it is still vitally important. Having managed these types of reviews since 1987, we understand the significant delays and costs that can occur as a result of the absence of such oversight and checking. Drawing on these examples, the engineers at Richard Herrmann Associates Ltd hope to help you avoid structural failures due to misunderstandings around the design during construction, helping your development continue in the right direction.  

 

One of the primary functions of an on-site inspection is to verify that construction is following the approved design and specifications. We work closely with contractors and project managers to ensure that all aspects of the build, from materials to structural components, are in line with the original plans. Any deviations from the design are flagged and corrected, preventing costly errors and delays later in the process. For added assurance, we’ll write a summary report once checks are complete, highlighting any shortcomings or concerns encountered, so you can make informed decisions for your project.

Health and safety oversight

Construction sites are inherently high-risk environments. Ensuring that health and safety regulations are strictly followed is critical for the safety of all personnel on-site and that of the structure going forward. Our inspections consider the guidelines highlighted with the UK’s latest compliance criteria, ensuring that workers are not following practices that could contravene the policy and put their own safety and that of others at risk. Not only will this keep you compliant, but these extra precautions can reduce the risk of accidents, fines, and project shutdowns due to safety violations.

Early issue detection for rapid solutions

Unexpected issues can arise during the construction process but identifying them early can make all the difference in avoiding delays and added costs once you’re well into the construction stages. Our inspectors are trained to detect any problems that may have been missed, whether they’re related to structural integrity, material quality, or compliance with safety standards. By resolving these issues promptly, we help keep your project on schedule and avoid disruptions that could escalate into bigger problems down the line.

Structural Assessment

"I contacted Richard Herrmann to attend one of my factories to access the structural strength of the roof joists. The cost of a site visit was reasonably priced, within a matter of days I had the report in my hand. This is the second time I have used Richard Herrmann Associates, very impressed with the service, I will be using Richard Herrmann Associates again in the future."
