Building condition assessments
Assessment of existing structures for repair, reconstruction or continued operation.
When an assessment is useful
A survey can support changes of use, reconstruction, repair planning or investigation of visible defects. We first clarify the building, structural system and decisions the assessment must support.
Typical scope
- Review of existing drawings, records and the technical brief.
- Visual inspection and documentation of defects.
- Measurements, opening-up and material testing where included in the programme.
- Engineering analysis and preparation of conclusions.
Deliverables
The agreed technical assessment records the inspected structures, defects, measurements and conclusions. Recommendations reflect the actual scope of access and investigation.
What to send
Provide the address, building area and use, photographs of any defects, available structural drawings and the proposed changes. Access, testing requirements and available records affect the price and schedule.
