The building survey report is the foundation of a well planned exterior maintenance programme for a building. The report ranks the maintenance requirements of a building according to safety, water infiltration, occupant comfort, and preventive maintenance. The report usually suggests a phased work schedule based on the priorities identified in the report and on the financial planning requirements of the owner. If necessary, we survey the building occupants in order to determine if there are areas with active water infiltration or unusual air infiltration.

The survey is usually performed by a combination of telescopic inspection and inspection by scaffold in critical areas. Scaffold inspection by an experienced architect is an important aspect of the survey.
