Why you should trust PKB with renovation quality inspection

PKB treats renovation quality control as an engineering task, not as a visual walkthrough. We are not connected to the contractor and assess the property strictly from the standpoint of standards, technologies, and the actual condition of the work performed.

Our approach is based on three core principles

• Independence and absence of any conflict of interest
• Evaluation of construction technologies, not just appearance
• Clear and applicable results for the client

Construction control practice in the EU shows that independent inspection is the most effective way to identify critical defects before move-in and avoid the cost of rework. In professional practice, it is well established that the quality of finishing work is determined by compliance with tolerances and correct execution sequences, not by visual effect alone.

What an apartment renovation quality inspection involves

An apartment renovation quality inspection is a comprehensive technical review of completed finishing and related works. Unlike a standard viewing, it includes measurements, analysis of construction details, and an assessment of compliance with building standards and design solutions.

Analytical reviews by independent inspection companies consistently show that most post-renovation issues are caused by hidden defects that cannot be detected without professional equipment and experience.

When renovation quality control is necessary

Inspection is especially relevant in the following situations

• After renovation completion, before final payment to the contractor
• When accepting an apartment with finished renovation from a developer
• When there are doubts about the quality of the completed work
• When preparing arguments for negotiations or formal claims

Complaint statistics after renovation show that most issues arise during actual use, when defect correction requires significantly higher costs than at the acceptance stage.

What PKB inspectors check

The inspection is carried out systematically and covers the key elements of the renovation

• Geometry and evenness of walls, floors, and ceilings
• Quality of finishing materials and correctness of their application
• Compliance with construction technologies
• Condition and execution of joints and junctions
• Signs of hidden defects and potential future problems

We use measuring instruments and methodologies accepted in professional construction practice, allowing deviations to be recorded objectively and in a reproducible manner.

Results of the inspection for the client

After the inspection, you receive

• An objective understanding of the actual renovation quality
• A list of identified defects and deviations
• A technically justified conclusion
• A solid basis for negotiations with the contractor or for management decisions

The report is prepared in a clear and practical format and can be used as a working tool rather than a formal document.

Expert opinion from PKB inspectors

In our experience, the most serious renovation problems are rarely visible at first glance. They are usually hidden in details such as distorted geometry, errors in finishing layers, and incorrectly executed construction nodes. Over time, these defects lead to cracks, misalignment, and premature wear of the renovation. A professional inspection makes it possible to identify such issues early and either demand their correction or realistically account for future costs in advance.

PKB is a professional construction inspection service, not a “check for formality.” We work according to a clear methodology, document deviations through measurements, and present results in a way that is practical for real use, whether for contractor negotiations, work acceptance, or decision-making.

If you need real results rather than a formal acceptance, contact PKB. We will carry out an apartment renovation quality inspection and help protect your money, time, and peace of mind.
