Structural Survey

Details :

A structural engineer’s report is frequently required at a time of sale. This may be required to investigate and advice upon a specific structural defects, such as crack in block work, a bulging wall, or a sagging roof. Big worker Trading & Contracting W.L.L. can provide an inspection to comment upon the structural adequacy and condition of all accessible structural loadbearing element of the property, to include roof structure, wall, floors, lintels and beams, along with any outside influence which may present a risk to the foundations, including an appraisal of the entire building for evidence of structural movement or structural damage. The survey will establish whether the property is in a structurally sound condition and whether there are any signs of disrepair that require attention.

If you want to change the layout of a building or completely change the building from its present use to an alternative use, then the means of structural support arrangement will need to be established. Failure to carry out such checks may render a building unstable. We will review the means of structural support and calculate the suitability of any proposed changes.

Surveys often identify any early signs of a defect so that inexpensive actions can be pit into effect to prevent the onset of more significant damage. There are different types of surveys that can be customized to your requirements, if you are in any doubt as to which one is right for you the we will be able to help you. Typically our written report will comment upon: the condition of the agreed structural elements to the building, identifying if any defects are present.

We have established our own COMMERCIAL BUILDING SURVEY format, which is more expansive and biased toward comment on the construction, materials used, analysis of stability, greater explanation of defects, and compliance with more technical and current requirements. Building maintenance is frequently not carried out in a structured manner, with a tendency to be more reactive than proactive.

Our Building Surveyors can prepare forward maintenance plans in order to enable proper maintenance and budgeting planning. This ensures work is planned in an organized and efficient manner. Our building surveyors can arrange for the necessary work to be tendered, instructed and supervised in accordance with the plan.
