IntroductionBuilding surveying covers a broad spectrum
of workThe survey and the assessments of the
buildings, which combine the diagnosis of defects in the structure, fabric and services, together with forecasting of how such problems might develop in the future, requires a detail understanding of the building, in particular the surveyor should be aware of how the building was constructed, how the building has been used, what alterations have been undertaken, and how it has been repaired and maintained
Types of Building SurveyingPre Construction Condition SurveyPre Purchase SurveyDefects/Condition Survey
Process of Building SurveyingIdentify unsatisfactory itemIdentify weather it is a defectIdentify the consequencesIdentify weather the building is up to
building regulationsIdentify the person responsible for the cost of
rectifying
Overview of the selected BuildingAddress :Year Built : 2002Accommodation: Ground floor- Three show
rooms with attached bathrooms.
First floor & Second floor: Bed rooms (rented out for university students )
Size in Square Meters : 750m2
Overview of the selected Building (Cont…)
The property is a four storied commercial building with brick walls. Rectangular in shape and center of the building small court yard is situated. External walls in the ground floor external walls covered with aluminum claddings and other floors are painted. Roof is a concrete slab.
Survey - FoundationFoundation survey cannot be done using non
destructive techniques. Therefore we didn’t carryout the foundation survey.
Survey - FloorDefect Cause
Cracks Consolidation of hard core due to inadequate compaction of floor in the construction stage
Lifting and arching Sulphate Attack
Water retains on the floor Uneven Surface
Survey - WallsDefect Cause
Cracks Thermal expansion, incompatible materials
Fungus attack Water penetration throughout the wall
Arising Dampness Water is absorbed from the ground in to wall
Survey - RoofDefect Cause
Cracking of Asbestos sheets Fastener over tightened
Loosening of fasteners Continual exposure to wind vibration
Broken Gutters Heavy rain
Survey – Doors Defect Cause
Loosening of handles Loosening of nuts and bolts
Survey – Windows Defect Cause
Timberwork has flaked Pest attack
Paint has peeled away Exposure to the external conditions such as sun, rain etc
Survey - FinishesDefect Cause
Discoloration of floor finishes Rust spots develop on tile within a short time after stripping
Loose of plaster A colour wash not done nearly for 5 years
Survey - ServicesDefect Cause
Some switches not working properly
Insect attack and dust retains
Short circuit Water penetrate to switches from roof top
Water leaks through pipe joints Improper workmanship and inadequate maintenance
Leakages in drainage pipes Inadequate maintenance and replacements
ConsultationThere are no other structural defects.Large part of the cost should spent for
wall finishes and repairing.There is a design problem in drainage
system but can be easily repaired with less cost.
Less cost for repairing.High opportunity to achieve commercial
advantages
ConclusionThe building survey report provides an assessment of
physical condition of the building and also suggests ways to implement repairs or replacements that might be needed.
The main matters arising out of our inspection arePoor condition of the floorPoor condition of roofing Cracks on the wallsNeed of a proper painting for stair case hand railsAttention needed for safety features including fire safetyMaintenance of electrical accessoriesProper maintenance of sanitary fittings in toiletsMaintenance of plumbing systemPoor condition of some window sills
