THE RISKS OF INVESTING WITHOUT A PROFESSIONAL AUDIT:
❌ Hidden structural defects that turn your investment into a money pit.
❌ Unforeseen renovation costs exceeding your original business plan.
❌ Non-compliant technical solutions leading to legal and safety issues.
❌ Overpaying due to lack of an independent technical valuation.
❌ No one on-site to protect your interests and hold contractors accountable.
Ignoring these risks can cost you thousands of euros and years of headaches.

About Me
As an english speaking engineer (MSc in civil engineering) with extensive domestic and international experience, I have spent my career delivering complex, large-scale construction projects across Europe. My professional portfolio includes high-rise developments in London, industrial and data center projects in Amsterdam and Vienna, as well as major infrastructure, airport, and logistics investments in Hungary.
Working as a Project Manager, Site Manager and construction expert Budapest, I have gained hands-on expertise across the entire building lifecycle: from the initial design phase, cost control, and scheduling, to site coordination and professional **building survey** practices. In my work, precision, proactive risk management, and the rigorous protection of my clients' interests are non-negotiable.
Thanks to this international background, I operate under the highest professional standards. I apply proven methodologies to ensure that every **real estate due diligence in Hungary** is transparent, efficient, and predictable—whether evaluating a single apartment or a complex property portfolio.
My journey into property consulting began in 2020 with a complete apartment renovation within my family. The task seemed straightforward at first, but it quickly highlighted a massive market gap: local technical supervisors either refused the project due to its smaller scale or charged disproportionately high fees.
Deciding to rely on my own engineering expertise, I managed the project entirely. Since I was working abroad at the time, I coordinated the processes mostly online, combined with personal site visits during critical phases. This experience taught me exactly what a remote investor needs: absolute transparency, reliable boots on the ground, and clear digital reporting.
Building on that successful model, my mission today is to protect foreign buyers from costly mistakes. By providing professional **property inspection in Budapest**, I bridge the distance gap, delivering independent technical clarity from the pre-purchase phase to renovation management and final handover.
As a certified Civil Engineer and a registered member of the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers, I ensure all assessments strictly comply with the latest local MÉptv (Act on Architecture) and TÉKA regulations.
