Forceten was formed in 2002, by a Graduate Building Engineer, with the intention of providing a cost effective solution to the growing need for accurate and descriptive reports on the condition of Buildings and Building Services required by House Purchasers, House Vendors, Landlords, Insurance Companies and Contractors.Our team is led by the original Graduate Building Engineer with over 25 years of property experience. We are qualified Homes Inspectors and members of the Institute of Building Management and Maintenance. Working within the guidelines of the Housing Act 2004, we carry out Snagging and HomeCheck Reports on new build and resale homes for Vendors and Purchasers, together with Energy performance Certificates to meet all the requirements of Home Information Pack (HIP) legislation. We are able to assess building snags and faults, specification deviations, poor workmanship, dilapidated damage, maintenance requirements, renovations and insured risk; we are able to make calculated appraisals of future maintenance requirements. Our local knowledge enables us to appreciate local influences, recent weather conditions and environmental issues.A professionally prepared Home Buyers Report, or Dilapidations Report for a ‘let' property, may have alerted you to these underlying problems!As we appreciate that cost is always relevant our fees and charges are fixed before we engage in a report or project.To compile any report, upon receipt of an instruction, we will make contact with the vendor, builder, tenant or landlord within 24 hours to arrange a convenient appointment and access. Upon completion of the inspection an assessment of the property is presented in the appropriate report format, a schedule of budget priced work would accompany. The report is usually available within 5 days of the inspection
