Confidence in Property Purchase and Renovation.
Assess structural risks and energy efficiency potential before they become cost traps. Independent technical building analysis for private buyers and homeowners.
Buying or renovating a property is often the biggest financial decision of a lifetime. Don't rely solely on the estate agent's brochure.
As an independent architect (AKNW), I deliver the unvarnished technical truth — transparent, non-destructive and economically evaluated.
This way you avoid bad purchases and plan your repair budget on a solid foundation.
The services build on each other: from the compact Start-Check through in-depth analysis and specialist diagnostics to supported renovation. You decide how deep we go.
Including travel within the service area. The ideal basis for decision-making before a purchase or your first renovation idea. Fee on request.
Two-hour intensive building inspection of the property.
Safe and precise inspection of roof surfaces and hard-to-reach facade sections using a professional drone — carried out by specialised partners.
You receive a clear, easy-to-understand report with direct recommendations and initial investment estimates.
Identification of structural dealbreakers before the notary appointment. I examine the building fabric for hidden defects and estimate the immediate repair requirements. This gives you not only certainty but also solid arguments for your final price negotiation.
In-depth building inspection of your property — building on the Start Check. I record the condition in detail with measured values, uncover hidden defects and age-related maintenance backlog, and develop a concrete renovation or modernisation concept.
Non-destructive visualisation of thermal bridges, insulation defects and energy weak points of the building envelope.
Precise localisation of hidden water damage, pipe leaks and moisture sources. By combining modern diagnostics — from high-resolution thermography to grid-based moisture measurements — I pinpoint the cause with precision. This minimises costly demolition damage to the building fabric and provides rapid certainty for repairs.
Strategic planning of your energy-efficient renovation. Through my network of certified energy consultants, your individual renovation roadmap (iSFP) takes shape; I support the funded entry and the BAFA application, while building quality control stays with me. As an architect, I keep the whole building in view — especially in an unrenovated older building, where pipes, bathrooms, roof and hazardous materials drive the larger cost envelope.
Independent client-side advisory — on your side as the commissioner. I coordinate all project stakeholders (designers, contractors, energy consultants), review quotations, provide tender recommendations and monitor schedules, costs and quality throughout the entire construction phase.
Qualification and liability anchored in building law — no estate agent, no salesperson.
No commissions, no sales interests. I assess what is — not what sells.
Experience from the technical assessment of large housing portfolios — now for your property.
