" During a long interruption of construction and installation works, as well as under the influence of the external environment on the unfinished construction of building structures, they are subject to a change in their properties and strength characteristics. To solve all problems, it is necessary to conduct a forensic examination in order to identify defects and assess the state of building structures and make decisions on the possibility and feasibility of completing construction work"

The article considers the issue of relevance of non-destructive testing, as well as some features of the use of non-destructive testing devices in the judicial construction and technical expert examination. Conducting construction and technical expert examination is impossible without accurate measurements, which attaches conditions for the use of various methods, technologies, devices and tools. Among them, one should separately distinguish a group of non-destructive testing devices that allow measuring facilities of research without damage and simultaneous obtaining of reliable features of parameters determining the technical condition of the facilities being examined.
