A Building Condition Survey is used to identify building defects and where the client needs the condition of the property, the works needed and the cost of putting the property into 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.
