Structure Condition Assessment
Trusted by property owners, developers, and government entities across the UAE — with more than 300 structural and building assessments completed.
Buildings change over time due to age, usage, environmental exposure, or undocumented modifications. Authorities across the UAE require verified engineering evidence that a building remains safe, compliant, and fit for occupancy.
Al Burj Engineering Consultants delivers comprehensive, authority-aligned structural condition assessments that give owners a clear understanding of their building's current condition and the exact steps needed to achieve compliance.
01Inspections, Structural Analysis & Material Testing
Accurate assessment requires verified data, not assumptions. Our engineers conduct detailed inspections and structural analysis to evaluate load-bearing elements, connections, and overall structural behaviour — using both non-destructive and destructive testing methods. These provide a technical foundation for our reports, ensuring decisions are based on measurable evidence rather than visual inspection alone.
- NDT: rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity, cover meter surveys
- DT: core sampling, laboratory strength testing, chemical analysis
02Building Retrofits & Rehabilitation
Many buildings can be restored to full compliance through targeted retrofit work. Our engineers evaluate structural elements and building systems to determine the most cost-effective and safe rehabilitation strategy.
- Structural strengthening
- Micropiling and soil stabilization
- Façade and envelope repairs
03Building Lifetime Expectancy
Every building has a service life influenced by design, materials, maintenance, and environmental exposure. We help owners understand the current structural health, signs of ageing or deterioration, maintenance planning and required interventions.
04Certified Building Condition (CBC)
A full evaluation of the building's structural and physical condition, performed by qualified engineers. CBC is often required in Abu Dhabi for older buildings, buildings with undocumented modifications, ownership transfer or change of use, and authority compliance for safety verification.
05Building Occupancy Certificate (BOC) Support
We coordinate all inspections, documentation, and authority submissions required to secure legal occupancy approval — ensuring a smooth path to final clearance.
06Legalization of Existing Works
We help owners bring unauthorized or undocumented modifications into compliance, including extensions, layout changes and structural alterations. Where permitted, we update records and secure authority acceptance.
