A structural inspection is typically only carried out when a structural defect or problem is identified or suspected. Usually as part of the process of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be noted for additional investigation by a professional structural engineer, who’ll be able to determine the precise problem and recommend the practical options to rectify. When there is a more substantial suspected problem or the building’s background is especially poor, a general structural inspection may be carried out which will require an assessment of the whole structure and all load-bearing facets 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.
Structural surveys may also be undertaken on an ad hoc basis on existing buildings if you suspect any kind of structural defect, for example cracking in walls, sagging of ceilings or roofs, or subsistence around the foundations of the building. When searching 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.
