Civil Engineer Services in Athens

Technical support for property, renovation and construction

A property may need the support of a civil engineer at many different stages of its life.

From buying and selling to renovation, layout changes, technical inspections or planning matters, technical assessment is an important part of the process.

At IG Constructions, we provide civil engineering services with a focus on technical assessment, renovation and the end-to-end management of property and construction projects.

When do you need a civil engineer?

A civil engineer may be needed when you:

• are buying or selling a property,
• are planning a renovation or layout change,
• have unauthorised structures,
• need a technical report or an assessment of the existing condition,
• intend to carry out building work,
• want to make use of a property.

Every case is different and requires a specific technical assessment.

Property site visit

A site visit is one of an engineer's key tools. During the visit, the property's existing condition is examined and relevant details are recorded according to the agreed scope. Site visits can cover houses, apartments, detached homes, commercial spaces and other properties.

Technical inspection

A technical inspection can take place before a purchase or before renovation. Its aim is to give the interested party a clearer picture of the property's condition and identify issues that may need further investigation.

Planning review

Comparing the existing condition with the available planning records may reveal differences. In such cases, the engineer reviews the information and advises the owner on the next steps under the applicable regulations.

Technical reports

A technical report may be required depending on the case. It is prepared according to the service scope and documents the relevant findings.

Unauthorised structures

Unauthorised structures or changes of use require a technical review. The engineer examines the actual condition and available property records, then assesses which procedure may apply.

Civil engineer for renovation

Renovating a property may involve significant technical interventions. Before work begins, it is useful to assess the existing condition, layout and technical possibilities. A civil engineer can contribute to the design and organisation of the project.

Permits and approvals

Depending on the work, specific approvals or permits may be required. The exact process depends on the type of intervention and the property's characteristics. A technical assessment should therefore take place before work begins.

Civil engineer before buying a property

Buying a property is a significant investment. A technical inspection before purchase can help a prospective buyer better understand the property's condition and identify issues that may need further investigation. This can be especially important for older properties.

Civil engineer for an older home

An older home may have problems that are not immediately visible. Before a complete renovation, it is useful to examine the installations, surface condition, layout and other technical details. This helps organise the project around the property's actual condition.

An integrated approach from IG Constructions

IG Constructions combines engineering services with experience in renovation and construction, allowing us to approach a property as a complete project.

The process may include:

1. a site visit,
2. a technical inspection,
3. recording the property's needs,
4. design,
5. checking the required procedures,
6. scheduling,
7. carrying out the works.

This gives the owner unified technical support at different stages.

How much do civil engineer services cost?

The fee depends on the service. A straightforward technical inspection differs from a complex case involving studies, drawings, site visits or planning procedures. A quote should therefore be based on the actual details of the case.
