A structural inspection is usually only completed when a structural defect or issue is identified or suspected. Normally as part of the procedure of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be noted for further investigation by a skilled structural engineer, who’ll be able to identify the specific problem and advise on the possible solutions to rectify. When there is a more substantial suspected problem or the building’s history is particularly poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will involve an assessment of the whole structure and all load-bearing aspects of the building, together with inspections of the surrounding site and any possible impacts it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees close to the foundations of the building.
Structural surveys can be performed on an ad hoc basis on existing properties if you suspect any kind of structural defect, like cracking in walls, sagging of ceilings or roofs, or subsistence around the foundations of the building. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who’ll be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.
