A Building Condition Survey is used to identify construction form, condition and defects. Where the client requires the property to be repaired or handed over in an acceptable condition, the Building Condition Survey will identify the necessary work and associated costs to place the building in a good state of repair. Condition Surveys are often used as a precursor to:
- – Developing a client brief for corrective repairs or upgrade works.
- – Drafting schedules of repair and specification of works for tender.
- – Preparing a Planned Preventative Maintenance Programme (PPM)
Alternative purposes for carrying out a Building Condition Survey may include Due Diligence, Statutory Compliance, Fit-Out and Feasibility Studies.
