Mechanical and Electrical
Quality Audit and
Defect Reports

Highly Trained Engineers

Barbour Consulting provides engineering consultancy, specialising in the production of Mechanical and Engineering quality and defect reports within the critical and commercial environment. The need for this service has grown steadily during recent years, due to variable installation quality standards within the contracting industry.

Dependant on the level of service you require, we are able to inspect the quality of the installation and materials used. We can verify test results as provided by your contractor for compliance with current standards and, subject to provision of design criteria and drawings, carry out an audit of the design.

Upon completion of our audit, we will prepare a plain English summary of our findings complete with electronic images where applicable, together with a detailed list of any noted deviations from the national standards.
