For over 30 years, I have been involved in building-related topics, both practically and theoretically. Starting with the construction of buildings (bricklayer EFZ), through various positions in the consulting field service, over 20 years in the field of building drying & damage analysis to the expert for building damage. As a surveyor and neutral expert, I deal with building damage, in particular with its investigation and remediation in the areas of water / moisture and mold damage / thermography / condensation moisture and cracking.
