Determining the Technical Condition of a Building in Mykolaiv
Mykolaiv is a city that feels the consequences of war every day. Since the beginning of 2026, commissions have already inspected nearly 700 damaged objects: 82 apartment buildings, 387 apartments, 197 private houses. However, the most dangerous damages are those that are not visible. The blast wave leaves micro-cracks in the foundation, compromises floor assembly integrity, and deforms load-bearing walls. Visually the building may look intact, but its structures have already lost part of their load-bearing capacity. Determining the technical condition of a building in Mykolaiv is not just an assessment of structures, but a necessary step for human safety and obtaining compensation for destroyed property.
When Is a Technical Conclusion Mandatory?
Most often, clients turn to us in the following cases:
- Following any shelling. Even if your house did not sustain a direct hit, the shock wave could have damaged structures. In April 2026, 17 private houses were damaged as a result of an attack. In August 2026, two private houses were destroyed and seven were damaged. Every such case requires logging.
- For logging destruction resulting from military actions. A technical conclusion is a mandatory document for obtaining compensation. Without it, submitting an application to the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property is impossible.
- Upon the appearance of new cracks or the enlargement of old ones. This is a sign that deformation is progressing and can lead to an emergency state.
- Prior to commencing restoration work. Without knowing the genuine condition of structures, correctly planning repairs is impossible.
How Is the Technical Condition Determined?
The process commences with a visual inspection and photo logging of all visible defects. Special attention is paid to elements that could have suffered from the blast wave: foundations, floor assemblies, panel joints, window and door blocks. Then engineers conduct instrumental diagnostics:
- Thermal imaging inspection allows uncovering concealed moisture and thermal insulation breaches. Read how a thermal imager helps find concealed defects in the article.
- Ultrasonic diagnostics — to evaluate concrete condition and uncover concealed cracks.
- Geodetic measurements — to check structural verticality.

Result — A Technical Conclusion
Following the completion of all studies, you receive an official technical conclusion. This is a document possessing legal force. It contains a detailed description of structural condition, a list of discovered defects, an evaluation of the building’s residual lifespan, and recommendations regarding repairs or reinforcement. For damaged properties, this conclusion is a mandatory basis for logging destruction and obtaining compensation. Determining the technical condition of a building is a comprehensive service that helps evaluate the genuine condition of a property and make the correct decision.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can compensation be obtained without a technical conclusion?
No. A technical conclusion is a mandatory document for logging destruction resulting from military actions. Without it, submitting an application to the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property and obtaining compensation is impossible.
Can blast wave damages be identified without specialized equipment?
No. Micro-cracks in concrete, reinforcement deformations, and floor assembly integrity breaches can only be uncovered utilizing instrumental diagnostics. Visually these damages are not noticeable, but they significantly reduce the building’s residual lifespan.
How long does preparing a technical conclusion take in Mykolaiv?
For a standard apartment — 3-5 working days. For buildings with significant damages or large areas — up to 2 weeks.
What documents are required to order a technical conclusion?
It is sufficient to provide access to the property and title documents (if available). The rest is gathered independently by specialists during the inspection.
Can an inspection be conducted if the building exhibits emergency signs?
Yes, but in such cases, we act with extreme caution. Our specialists possess experience working with emergency properties and adhere to all necessary safety measures.
