Technical Inspection Service
EML Engineers provide a complete technical inspection service on behalf of insurers for latent‑defects insurance. Our chartered geotechnical, structural and facade engineers will complete as follows:
- Design risk assessment
Before a single foundation is laid, we review drawings, specifications and structural calculations to identify any potential design shortcomings. Early feedback allows designers to correct issues and reduces the risk of expensive remedial works. - Regular site inspections
Throughout construction we carry out inspections at critical stages – foundations, structural frame and external envelope. These visits check that the works follow the approved design and specifications and warranty providers technical manual. - Transparent reporting
Any issues raised during inspection are identified and tracked on our NCR schedule and inspection reports. Digital reporting means insurers and project stakeholders have real‑time visibility of progress and issues. - Final completion review
When construction is substantially complete, we carry out a final audit to verify that outstanding issues have been addressed enabling the latent defects policy cover to commence.
