Why get NDT before buying a resale flat in Guwahati
Hidden defects cost lakhs after purchase. A building strength test is cheap insurance.
Rebound hammer, UPV, and cover meter tests reveal honeycomb, low strength concrete, and corroding steel — invisible during a normal flat viewing. In Beltola and Chandmari resale markets, 15–30 year buildings often have monsoon damage. NDT report gives negotiation leverage or avoids a bad purchase.
