AI Structural Audit Intake

Concerned about cracks, tilting, or aging structural elements? Describe your building in plain language โ€” our AI prepares a structured engineer brief so your structural audit is focused and comprehensive from day one.

๐Ÿšจ

Emergency: If your building has visible major distress โ€” wide cracks, tilting walls, or collapsed structural elements โ€” do not use this tool. Call us immediately โ†’

Describe Your Building & Concerns

Answer the intake questions below. Our AI prepares a structured audit brief โ€” reviewed by a Buildogram structural engineer before contact.

โš ๏ธ

AI outputs are advisory. Every audit brief is reviewed by a structural engineering professional before being acted upon.

AI Structural Audit Intake

Describe your building's condition. Our AI will assess the urgency and prepare a briefing for our structural engineers.

Disclaimer: AI-engineered output is for preliminary planning only. Final construction, structural, material, and cost decisions should be reviewed by Buildogram engineers or qualified professionals.

Real Examples

Example Audit Briefs Our AI Prepared

These are real-style examples showing how the AI translates plain-language concerns into structured engineer briefs.

Building

20-year-old G+1, Velachery

HIGH

Owner's Concern

"Diagonal cracks above windows, roof leakage, plaster peeling in multiple rooms"

โšก AI-Generated Engineer Brief

Recommend: Visual inspection + Rebound Hammer Test on beams/columns + UPV Test on slab + Carbonation Depth Test

Reason: Crack pattern suggests differential settlement or active rebar corrosion

Rebound HammerUPV TestCarbonation Depth

Building

New construction G+2, OMR (6 months old)

MEDIUM

Owner's Concern

"Contractor says final inspection passed, but slab has hairline cracks on soffit"

โšก AI-Generated Engineer Brief

Recommend: Core Cut Test on slab to verify M25 compliance + Rebar cover check (cover meter scan) + Engineer review of pour records

Reason: Hairline cracks in new slabs may indicate shrinkage or inadequate curing

Core ExtractionCover Meter ScanPour Record Review

Building

35-year-old apartment, T Nagar (ground floor)

HIGH

Owner's Concern

"Ground floor column has a vertical crack, owner worried about stability"

โšก AI-Generated Engineer Brief

Recommend: Schmidt Hammer Test on column + Carbonation Test + Load verification against original structural drawing

Reason: Vertical cracks in columns may indicate shear failure or buckling โ€” restrict area until inspected

Rebound HammerCarbonation TestLoad Analysis

Building

Pre-purchase 15-year-old villa, ECR

ROUTINE

Owner's Concern

"Buying a resale villa, want full structural clearance before signing"

โšก AI-Generated Engineer Brief

Recommend: Comprehensive pre-purchase audit โ€” Visual + Rebound Hammer (all load-bearing) + Rebar Scan (slab soffit) + Moisture mapping

Reason: Standard pre-purchase due diligence; ECR coastal salt exposure may affect rebar condition

โœ“Remediation recommendations with cost estimates

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I get an audit done on a newly built building?

Yes โ€” and it's strongly recommended within 6 months of completion. A post-construction audit verifies that what was built matches the structural design. Many quality issues (concrete grade, cover depth, rebar placement) are only detectable at this stage before plaster covers everything.

Q: How long does a structural audit take?

A standard residential audit (G+2) takes 1 working day on-site. The full written report is delivered within 5โ€“7 working days. Commercial or institutional audits may require 2โ€“3 days on-site depending on floor count and area.

Q: Is the audit report accepted for CMDA regularization?

Regularization and occupancy applications require reports issued by an appropriately registered structural engineer. Buildogram audit briefs are prepared by qualified structural engineers; confirm current GCC/CMDA acceptance requirements for your specific application before submission.

Q: Can you audit a building built without structural drawings?

Yes. We conduct an "as-built" structural audit where our engineers create a structural drawing from site measurements, then assess structural adequacy against IS 456 and relevant loading codes.
