PAtrimonial Home Renovation
Background: first inspection with owners
The house was leaning slightly, with cracks running through the brickwork; the owners feared that a simple storm could make the situation worse. During the visit, David immediately noticed the foundation problems and the fragile rear extension. The couple wanted to modernize the interior, but above all they wanted to sleep soundly, without fear of a sudden collapse.
Technical challenges
- Weakened foundations: need to open the floor and reinforce ;
- Existing non-conforming extension, inadequate structure ;
- Lack of light and excessive partitioning;
- Unstable exterior balcony, earthwork in poor condition.
“Their anxiety was palpable; our role: to transform that fear into clear, quantified, safe steps.” – David
