A structural inspection is generally only undertaken when a structural defect or problem is recognised or suspected. Usually as part of the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be documented for additional investigation by an expert structural engineer, who will be able to determine the precise problem and recommend the possible options to rectify. When there is a more substantial suspected issue or the building’s background is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be completed which will involve an assessment of the whole structure and all load-bearing components of the building, along with inspections of the surrounding site and any potential impacts it could have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the house.
Any structural inspection will advise on the possible extent of any repair work that is required to rectify 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.
