What are General Structural Surveys and Specific defect reports?
General Structural Survey Report – The Structural Engineer visually inspects the entire property to assess the structural condition. If there are any structural problems, the structural engineer will provide their recommendations for sorting them out. Sometimes, intrusive testing would be required to provide an appropriate solution method, which would be recommended in the report.
Specific defect report – The Structural Engineer would visually inspect and assess one area of concern, such as cracks on walls, subsidence, or timber decay within a property. The structural engineer would provide their recommendations for sorting out the problem. Sometimes, intrusive testing would be required to provide an appropriate method of solution, which would be recommended in the report.
Things to Consider
Structural inspection and survey serve as proactive measures to detect any potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the structure. Early identification and intervention prevent minor issues from snowballing into major problems.
Regular structural inspections are crucial for older buildings to ensure that time-related wear and tear haven’t compromised the safety and stability of the structure.
In the UK, adherence to building regulations and safety standards is imperative. Regular structural inspections ensure compliance, avoiding potential legal complications and liabilities.
