Inspection before major repair
We assess the condition of structures and engineering systems before a major repair — to precisely define the scope of work, strengthening and the basis for the design.

When an inspection before major repair is needed
A major repair cannot be correctly designed and costed without knowing the actual condition of the building. A technical inspection before major repair shows which structures to keep, which to strengthen and what needs replacing, and becomes the input data for the design documentation.
KAZNICEP LLP inspects the load-bearing and enclosing structures, assesses their residual load-bearing capacity, records defects and, where necessary, performs verification calculations — the result is an engineering report with conclusions and recommendations.
An inspection before major repair is most often needed when preparing major-repair design documentation, planning the repair of a multi-apartment or public building, and to justify the scope and cost of the work.
A site visit by specialists and a study of the existing documentation for the building.
Inspection of the load-bearing and enclosing structures and engineering systems, with photo evidence.
Assessment of the condition and residual load-bearing capacity and, where needed, verification calculations.
A report with conclusions and recommendations — the basis for the major-repair design.
Frequently asked questions
Why is an inspection needed before major repair?
Before a major repair you need to know the actual condition of the load-bearing structures and engineering systems: what can be kept, what needs strengthening and what should be replaced. The inspection provides this data and becomes the basis for the major-repair design documentation, helping to correctly define the scope and cost of the work.
How much does an inspection before major repair cost?
The cost starts from 200,000 KZT and depends on the property: floor area, number of storeys, structural scheme, condition of the structures and scope of work. We give an exact price after clarifying the input data for the property.
How long does the inspection and the issue of the report take?
From 1 to 6 weeks. The timeline depends on the area and complexity of the property, the volume of instrumental work and the need for verification calculations.
Is the report suitable for major-repair design and state expert review?
Yes. The report is prepared to the building codes of the Republic of Kazakhstan and serves as input data for the major-repair design documentation, and is also used when passing expert review and obtaining approvals from the authorised bodies.
What does an inspection before major repair include?
A visual and instrumental inspection of the load-bearing and enclosing structures, an assessment of their condition and residual load-bearing capacity, recording of defects and, where needed, verification calculations and strengthening recommendations. The result is an engineering report with conclusions.
Do you travel around Kazakhstan?
Yes. We inspect buildings before major repair — residential, administrative, industrial and public — in Almaty, the Almaty Region and across Kazakhstan.
Technical
inspection of buildings
An inspection before major repair is part of the technical inspection of a building with a load-bearing-capacity assessment.
