What is a Building Survey?
A Building Survey is a comprehensive inspection and assessment of a property's structural integrity, condition, and potential ecological impact. It is conducted by qualified professionals to evaluate risks, ensure compliance with local and national regulations, and provide recommendations for sustainable development. Building surveys are essential for homeowners, developers, architects, and construction firms, especially when planning renovations, demolitions, or new construction projects.
