Hello,

I need your support to analyse the exact root cause and impact of the cracks in the building.

We have common wall against the wall a 4 storey building were construct during the construction period minor hair cracks comes in wall which are perpendicular to common wall. My building is not on beams as it is single storey.

Also the floor marble towards the common wall were cracked at different locations.

I am concerned about the safety of our life and building strength.

And what will be the options to repair it.

I am attaching the photos for your reference.
In one wall I am able to see outside also.

You need to consult a local structural engineer. There is nothing we can do here to help.
