Forensic building investigations for defect causation, moisture performance and warranty evidence.

Buildnostics provides independent diagnosis for new-build and existing homes where performance is disputed or symptoms persist. We focus on causation, measurable indicators and clear reporting for technical and claims decisions. Mould is treated as an outcome to be explained, not the starting point.

Why specialist investigations

Visual inspection alone rarely explains why a building fails in use. We investigate the mechanism—how moisture, air movement, heat loss and construction details interact—then set out what the evidence supports, what it does not, and what would confirm the conclusion where construction is concealed.

FAQ’s
