A structural inspection is generally only undertaken when a structural defect or issue is recognised or suspected. Typically 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 recognise the specific problem and advise on the possible options to put right. If there is a larger suspected issue or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be completed which will require an assessment of the complete structure and all load-bearing components of the building, alongside inspections of the surrounding site and any possible effects it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near to the foundations of the house.
Structural surveys can be carried out on an ad hoc basis on existing buildings if you suspect any sort 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.
