What this work involves
Discuss the purpose, accessible elements and survey limits. Establish whether additional specialist investigation may be needed.
- Purpose and scope
- Photographs, findings and priorities
- Further investigation and next steps
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Use a sample detail to make execution and finish expectations assessable.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one bespoke junction at a large scale with every adjoining finish layer. Identify who takes final dimensions and which substrate must be ready for that measurement.
Decide this before construction
Approve material combinations and the sample detail before production. Complete work affecting dimensions before ordering final bespoke components.
Compare the complete intervention
Identify samples, measurement and coordination separately in the budget. Craftsmanship involves preparation and accurately fitted transitions as well as the material itself.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on building size, access, reporting and investigation depth. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for building condition & maintenance surveys. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging building condition & maintenance surveys?
A visual survey cannot reveal every hidden defect. The report should identify inspected areas and its limitations.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
