interim inspection/valuation/expert opinion

Explanation:
I know "expertise" can mean "expert opinion", but it's not very widely used in this sense in English. And how about "interim" if you don't like "precautionary" (I don't)?

Beweise durch eine Expertise sicherstellen

vorsorgliche Beweisaufnahme

Das Kantonsgericht des Kantons Zug kann auf Antrag einer Partei Verfügungen treffen, die dazu dienen, gefährdete Beweise sicherzustellen. Will z.B. jemand bauen (Neubau, Umbau etc.), und können diese Bauarbeiten schädigende Auswirkungen auf die Nachbarliegenschaften haben, so kann der Bauherr den Zustand der Nachbarliegenschaften vor Baubeginn durch eine Expertise feststellen lassen. Auf diese Weise kann festgehalten werden, welche Schäden bereits vor Beginn der Bauarbeiten bestanden haben und daher mit Sicherheit nicht durch diese verursacht worden sind. Der Bauherr kann sich mittels einer so genanten vorsorglichen Beweisaufnahme gegen ungerechtfertigte Forderungen der Nachbarn absichern.
