Building surveys are a means of providing a
detailed assessment of a propertys condition
which involves an in-depth inspection. Even
though this might not be one of the most
effective forms of surveys available to property
owners but it is one of the most common and
convenient surveys. These surveys are commonly
undertaken to assist property proprietors in
understanding the condition of their property,
recording risks and potential expenditures that
may be required, and permitting them to develop
appropriate remedial or upkeep plans. Building
surveys however are not exclusive as they can be
availed by individual homeowners and personal
property owners and are also included in property
portfolios to have a net idea of future
investments and maintenance fees. What do
building surveys aim at? Building surveys are
generally conducted by chartered surveyors who
provide homeowners with a detailed well
documented official report on the present
condition of their property. The report includes
the condition of the building, guidelines on how
to conduct proper maintenance, and the
appropriate approach to cope with cropping
issues. Having said that, let us now discuss what
