WHY CHOOSE THEION

Invest in what your property actually needs.

A clearer purchase. A better-directed repair. A budget based on the work that needs doing.

01Buy with a clearer picture.Understand the property before committing your money.How THEION helps

We assess accessible conditions and document findings so you can consider repair needs, ask informed questions and negotiate with a technical basis.

02Direct the repair at the cause.Reduce the risk of paying for the same problem twice.How THEION helps

We investigate the origin of the symptoms and recommend the next steps. You gain a basis for choosing the intervention and commissioning any further tests or repair design needed.

03Compare scope as well as price.Give contractors the same technical brief.How THEION helps

An engineer-defined scope aligns the work, quantities, materials and acceptance criteria. This makes omissions and differences visible before you choose a contractor.

BEFORE REQUESTING QUOTATIONS

Three quotations. One scope to compare.

One contractor prices painting. Another, waterproofing. A third, replacing finishes. The lowest price does not tell you which work your property needs.

Scope defined by the engineer

Choose with clarity about what is included, what is missing and what will be checked.

IBAPE: the difference between building inspection and forensic investigation

Municipal requirements and other references are checked for each engagement. Technical assistance supports your legal team; it does not replace legal advice.

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

Before you commission a service.

Choose the service, understand the assessment and see how the inspection works.

01Where are services available?

We serve Goiânia and nearby areas by appointment at the client’s property. For Brasília and nearby areas, please confirm availability and travel arrangements. The proposal confirms coverage, scope and service conditions.

02Which service fits my property?

A handover or purchase may call for a property survey. A condominium inspection helps assess building conditions and prioritize maintenance. Water ingress or cracking may require a building-pathology investigation. A dispute between parties may call for an extrajudicial expert assessment or technical opinion. Describe the situation and we will identify the appropriate service and define its scope in the proposal.

03What document will I receive?

The proposal identifies the commissioned deliverable: a signed property-survey, building-inspection, diagnostic or extrajudicial expert assessment (laudo), or a technical opinion (parecer técnico). It sets out findings, analysis, recommendations and investigation limits. Recurring condominium support follows the selected plan; individual assessments have their own scope and are not issued without limit.

04How are inspections carried out?

We review the available history and inspect the property on site. Depending on the problem and agreed scope, we use thermal imaging, a moisture meter, a crack-width gauge, a wall scanner or a drone. A single image or instrument reading cannot establish the cause on its own. Where needed, we recommend testing, monitoring or further checks and state the limits of the conclusion.

05Who signs the assessment and records the ART?

Civil engineer Vitor Pinheiro, a structural specialist, leads the work. The responsible professional signs the assessment or technical opinion. The ART records the engineering activities undertaken under the engagement in Brazil. The proposal defines the property, inspection coverage, deliverable and responsibilities; design, construction and site oversight require their own scope.
