A structural inspection is normally 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 will be noted for additional investigation by an experienced structural engineer, who will be able to recognise the specific problem and recommend the likely solutions to rectify. If there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s history is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will require an evaluation of the entire structure and all load-bearing areas of the building, along with inspections of the surrounding site and any potential influences it might have, such as drainage issues or any trees near the foundations of the home.
Structural surveys can also be undertaken on an ad hoc basis on existing homes if you suspect any type 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.
