What to do next

• Gather the missing evidence before accepting any major work.
• Monitor the crack with dated photos across a few weeks.
• Ask the builder to establish the cause, not just the fix.
• A chartered surveyor confirms condition and risk.

An interpretation to help you ask better questions, not a chartered survey, structural verdict or regulated advice. A qualified professional confirms condition and risk.

What this is, and is not

HoWA helps you understand the information in front of you. It is not a chartered survey, structural verdict, regulated advice or commercial estimate. A qualified professional confirms condition, risk, scope and price.

Good to know

Is this a survey?

No. It helps turn a condition issue or quote into clearer questions and next steps. A qualified professional provides the inspection or formal advice when one is needed.

What can HoWA show me in a quote?

It can help you see the work described, likely omissions or assumptions and the questions worth asking before you agree.
