The Challenge
The development had a history of reported water ingress and deterioration affecting balconies, external finishes and steel staircases. Earlier reports varied in scope and detail, requiring a controlled technical review before the remedial and cost position could be developed.
What GIR Did
GIR Group was engaged to lead the staged technical investigation and validation process. GIR reviewed the existing reports, coordinated targeted structural investigations and consolidated the developing evidence into a block-by-block framework.
- Evidence Review
- Investigation
- Validation
- Decision Support
Outcome to Date
The work has established a clearer, more traceable evidence base and a structured route for continued scope and cost validation. GIR Group remains engaged as the wider matter progresses.
This summary reflects the current stage of GIR Group's appointment. It does not constitute a final determination of causation, liability, insurance coverage, remedial scope or cost. Formal project documents remain the authoritative record.
