FBSA is an independent building investigation service founded and led by David Chase Matthews, operating across South & West Wales. We do not carry out repair work — so you always get impartial, unbiased findings you can rely on.

OUR EXPERTISE

With over 20 years' experience as a qualified tradesperson, Asset Engineer, and NEC Supervisor, David brings deep practical and technical knowledge to every inspection:

- Plumber & building services background
- Certified in damp & mould investigation, leak detection, and EPC assessments
- Experienced in delivering multi‑million‑pound property and infrastructure projects across Wales
- Trained in forensic evidence capture and reporting

THE FBSA DIFFERENCE

Every inspection follows our proprietary AD4 Methodology:

1. Accurate — We identify the likely root cause, not just the visible signs
2. Documented — We record all findings, testing, and time‑stamped evidence
3. Evidence‑based — Reports prepared using consistent methods, suitable for insurance enquiries, dispute resolution, and professional review
4. Independent — No hidden agenda, no financial benefit from recommended works

OUR PURPOSE

We exist to bring clarity to property problems. Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, solicitor, or housing provider — we give you the facts, not a sales pitch.
