Piotr knows every brick in Toruń
Piotr doesn't spend all days at the desk. Most of the time you will find him in dark cellars and attics of tenements others were afraid to touch. For 12 years he's been dealing with the technical state evaluation of old buildings. During this time he checked exactly 47 objects on Toruń Old Town and Bydgoskie Przedmieście. His principle is simple: the brick doesn't lie, you just need to know how to talk to it. If there's a problem in the wall, Piotr will find it before you sign the notarial deed.
Concrete numbers instead of guesses
When you plan an investment in a monument, a mistake in calculations can destroy your budget. Piotr performed 124 detailed technical audits that protected our investors from stepping on a mine. Last year, during a review of a tenement on Mostowa street, he detected a hidden ceiling defect that a bank appraiser missed. Thanks to his report the client negotiated a price reduction of 32,000 PLN, which more than covered the cost of later repair. (By the way, most problems in Toruń are poorly made isolations from the nineties, which we fix right away).
We look for a second bottom in every project
Piotr doesn't believe previous owners' words. He always checks wall moisture at three different heights and the state of floor beams in the farthest corners. We count every meter and every zloty, because old walls must generate new profits, not just consume funds. His expertises are short, understandable and technical. You won't find fluff there, just a list of things to do immediately and those that can wait a year or two.
Experience in clash with the office
Work on monuments is also continuous talk with offices. Piotr knows how to prepare technical documentation so that it passes the conservator's desk without unnecessary corrections. In the last quarter he closed 8 formal cases that got stuck in other companies due to drawing errors. He doesn't look for the cheapest replacements because he knows that in the case of Toruń brick, saving on material takes its toll after just two winters. If he says the roof will last another 5 years, it means it will last that long.
