Structural Inspection in County Tyrone

A structural inspection is usually only performed when a structural defect or problem is recognised or suspected. Normally as part of the procedure of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they will be noted for additional investigation by a skilled structural engineer, who’ll be able to identify the specific problem and recommend the practical options to put right. Where there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be completed which will consist of an assessment of the whole structure and all load-bearing aspects of the building, together with inspections of the surrounding site and any possible influences it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees close to the foundations of the building.

Any structural inspection will recommend the likely range of any repair work that is required to correct the problem. 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.
