Why investigations matter

Leaks, cracks, and defects rarely show the full story. Water might appear in one unit but come from three floors above. A crack in render could hide corrosion inside the slab. Without a proper investigation, repairs are often guesswork — leading to wasted money and repeat problems.

For strata managers and owners, unclear defects mean frustration, disputes, and budgets blown on the wrong solutions.

The solution: evidence before action

At Atomic Projects, we believe in fixing problems at the root. Our building investigations gather hard evidence — photos, readings, and test results — to show what’s really happening and how to fix it. We provide clear reports with priorities and practical scopes so managers, owners, and engineers can make decisions with confidence.

Our Building Investigation Process

1. Initial Assessment

• Walkthrough of affected areas with strata managers or engineers.
• Review of existing defects, leaks, or resident complaints.

2. Testing & Diagnostics

• Flood testing with dye.
• Infrared thermal imaging to locate moisture.
• Moisture meter readings across multiple points.
• Borescope or inspection openings where required.

3. Documentation & Reporting

• Detailed photo logs and diagrams.
• Clear summary of issues, cause analysis, and recommendations.
• Priority rating (urgent / moderate / low risk).

4. Practical Repair Scope

• Suggested methods for rectification (e.g., balcony remediation, façade repairs, membrane replacement).
• Budget ranges to assist planning and tendering.
• Coordination with engineers for final design/spec.

Common problems we identify

• Leaks in balconies, bathrooms, and façades.
• Hidden water ingress into slabs or walls.
• Concrete spalling and structural cracks.
• Failed waterproofing details.
• Drainage and moisture management issues.

Why Atomic Projects?

• Clarity for decision-makers: Evidence you can see, not just opinions.
• Engineer-ready reports: Our findings integrate seamlessly into consultant scopes.
• Actionable, not generic: Clear priorities and practical repair options.
• Trusted process: Used across strata, commercial, and heritage projects.

The outcome

No more guesswork. Managers and owners gain a clear roadmap to solve building issues properly, residents stop chasing repairs that don’t work, and engineers get the data they need to design long-lasting solutions.
