When to investigate.

Before making an offer

Early advice from an independent engineer can help identify site concerns and the further investigations to consider before committing.

During due diligence

Arrange the recommended investigations alongside your survey, legal and planning checks, subject to site access and agreed purchase timelines.

Before design begins

Give your architect and engineering team the findings they need to inform foundation design, site planning and construction budgeting.

Independent by design.

Teldmann provides introductions and coordination. We do not carry out geotechnical investigations, issue engineering reports or provide technical advice.

The independent engineer you appoint is engaged directly by you and is responsible for the agreed investigations, findings and technical recommendations.

Transparent referrals

Any referral fee or commercial arrangement with an introduced firm will be disclosed before you proceed. You remain free to appoint your own engineer.
