Technical Inspection Service (TIS)

TIS inspection is important for ensuring the quality of construction projects and also for reducing the risk of technical building defects. This can lead to an optimal design, shorter construction time, and lower failure/construction costs. And as a result, higher client satisfaction!

TIS is one of the recognized instruments within the Wkb (Wet kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen - Dutch Building Quality Assurance Act). While TIS inspection is not mandatory for civil engineering works, it is often prescribed by Rijkswaterstaat and/or ProRail. For complex projects or those with a high-risk level, an independent design review naturally offers advantages for all involved parties, as potential issues are often identified early on.

The benefits of a TIS inspection include:

• Optimized design
• Reduced risk of construction defects, leading to lower failure costs
• Shorter construction time
• Increased client satisfaction
• Higher quality of the construction work
• Easier financing acquisition
• Lower insurance premium

A TIS inspection is carried out by an accredited TIS institution. First, a Plan of Approach is drawn up, which comprehensively describes what will be assessed and how. The inspection then begins with a design review. Subsequently, periodic checks are performed during the construction work. At the end of construction, a final judgment on the building quality is given.

During the design review (sometimes called a zero measurement), the design, specifications, and execution methodology are assessed. It's also checked whether the contractor uses the correct materials and procedures.

During the periodic checks, the completed work is inspected for adherence to the design and specifications. They also verify that the correct materials and procedures are being used.

The final report is a report that summarizes the findings of the TIS inspection. It also indicates whether the building complies with the requirements of the Building Regulations.
