A structural inspection is often only carried out when a structural defect or problem is recognised or suspected. Generally during the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they will be documented for additional investigation by a specialist structural engineer, who’ll be able to determine the specific problem and suggest the possible methods to rectify. When there is a more substantial suspected problem or the building’s background is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be undertaken which will involve an evaluation of the entire structure and all load-bearing areas of the building, along with 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 home.
Any structural inspection will recommend the potential scope of any repair work that is required to correct the problem. When looking for a structural engineer, look for Chartered Surveyors who will be members of either the Institution of Structural Engineers or the Institution of Civil Engineers.
