Preventing damage or reducing the extent of damage with high-quality inspections
He comes from HTS and wanted to become anything but a draughtsman. His eye fell on a vacancy for a commercial technical inspector. And so Jurjen Burghgraef entered the inspection business in 1999. What nobody could have guessed at the time was that he would be so taken with the profession that Jurjen Burghgraef has become the personification of inspections. His drive? Reducing the number of large damages, the frequency of damages and the extent of damage by providing high-quality inspections. Most damages start out small, but become large when insufficient safety measures are taken. In hindsight, most damages could have been prevented. This is why Jurjen tries to identify the risks in advance so that they can be discussed with the entrepreneur. And if damage has already occurred, he wants to learn from it by analysing the damage.
The government's vision of sustainability leads to different types of damage. Damages are also becoming more and more complex. To prevent this kind of complex damage, Jurjen works closely with the NLOI. By also inspecting at the front end, Jurjen is able to identify the cause. Unfortunately, in a large number of cases human activity is the cause of damage. But how can you prevent such damage from happening again? Or how do you assess whether a claim has been rightly or wrongly rejected? These are typical examples of the projects Jurjen and NLOI take up. And we dare say: we are very good at it.
He also works hard to teach people about the inspection profession. After all, the more people know about possible risks, the less fire damage there will be. As an authority in the field of inspections, he offers solutions that are feasible. Jurjen is a perfectionist.

He believes that risk factors should always appear in the report in the right way, because it is very important that the risk factor is recognised, named and that it is also confirmed whether the risk factor in question is sufficiently protected or whether improvement is required.
Because if you can reduce the risk of damage or limit the damage, then you have a win-win situation. And that is the aim of Jurjen Burghgraef, co-owner of Burghgraef van Tiel & Partners.
