Who are we?

INSPECT is a small-scale research company specialized in materials engineering research of natural stone, brick, mortar and masonry. We combine practical experience with scientifically based analyses, both on site and in the lab - in cooperation with UGent, UAntwerpen and our start-up own lab.

With a background in geology, heritage and architecture, we thoughtfully assess damage, material properties and building pathology. We think with you, work in a tailored manner and strive to provide sustainable advice that respects the character and future of each building.

Why choose INSPECT?

A thoughtful approach

We carefully establish a research program appropriate to the phase and nature of the project: from materials research prior to construction or restoration, to damage analysis and longer-term monitoring.

Clear communication

Our findings are based on solid scientific work, but we translate that knowledge in a clear and understandable way, without unnecessary jargon.

Flexible and tailored to practice

We work efficiently and with an eye for the reality on the ground, always in function of the specific questions and context of the building.
