Building Science
At Martech Group, our building science division focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings, integrating advanced technologies and methodologies to improve building performance and efficiency. Utilizing the best technology and inspection planning, we are a leader in Identifying building issues. Our newest services in drone thermography have garnered attention from clients in Canada, Saudi Arabia, and the United States of America. Here are some of our areas of expertise:
Building Conditions Assessment
Building conditions assessment is done mainly for renewal purposes, risk management, for asset management purposes or as a result of concern for occupants’ health and safety or to maximize the life of buildings systems.
A building conditions assessment performed by Martech Group includes an inspection of the building envelope, electrical and mechanical systems and fire and exterior site features. This is followed by a review of the maintenance history and drawings of the building and discussion with the onsite staff regarding the repairs conducted on the building. This is followed by a comprehensive report which consists of recommendations for repairs and the estimated costs.

A building condition assessment conducted by Martech Group will aid in extending the life of your building whilst reducing repair and maintenance costs.
Pre-Construction Surveys
Our pre-construction surveys provide a comprehensive assessment of existing conditions before starting a construction project. This helps identify potential issues and establish a baseline for accurate assessment and management of changes or damages during and after construction. We meticulously document the initial state of the site and structures, ensuring that any deviations during construction are easily identifiable and manageable.
Roofing Assessments
Our roofing assessments evaluate roofing systems for integrity, drainage, insulation, and potential leaks. We provide solutions to extend the lifespan of roofs and improve their efficiency. By identifying issues such as water infiltration, thermal bridging, and material degradation, we help clients implement effective maintenance and repair strategies, ensuring the longevity and performance of their roofing systems.
Building Envelope Assessments
Our building envelope assessments involve analyzing the components that separate the interior of the building from the outside environment, such as walls, windows, doors, and roofs. The goal is to ensure energy efficiency, watertightness, and proper insulation and protection. We use advanced diagnostic tools to detect weaknesses and recommend improvements, enhancing the overall energy performance and durability of buildings.
Building Maintenance Planning
Our building maintenance planning service offers proactive building upkeep with customized maintenance schedules and plans to keep all systems in optimal condition and extend the building's lifespan. We work with clients to develop comprehensive maintenance strategies that address the specific needs of their buildings, ensuring that all components function efficiently and reliably over time.
New Construction Field Reviews
During our New Construction Field Reviews, experts conduct on-site inspections to ensure compliance with design specifications, building codes, and industry standards. They promptly address any issues to maintain high construction quality. These reviews help ensure that new constructions meet all regulatory requirements and are built to the highest standards of quality and safety.
Building Noise Assessments
Our Building Noise Assessments evaluate the acoustic performance of buildings by measuring and analyzing noise levels from various sources, both internal and external. We provide solutions to mitigate unwanted noise, ensuring a comfortable and compliant living or working environment. Our assessments help improve the acoustic environment within buildings, enhancing occupant comfort and productivity,.
Thermography
Our Thermography services use infrared technology to detect temperature variations on building surfaces. This helps identify issues such as heat loss, moisture intrusion, and electrical problems. By visualizing temperature differences, we can pinpoint areas of concern that are not visible to the naked eye, allowing for targeted interventions that improve energy efficiency and prevent structural damage.
Thermal Drone Inspections
Our thermal drone inspections offer cutting-edge solutions for identifying and diagnosing thermal anomalies in building systems. These non-invasive methods provide detailed insights into building performance and help detect issues early. Our services include:
​
Deploying drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras.
Deploying drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras to conduct comprehensive and efficient inspections of large or hard-to-reach areas, such as roofs and facades, identifying issues like thermal bridging, energy loss and hidden damage.
