A structural inspection is typically only performed when a structural defect or problem is discovered or suspected. Typically as part of the procedure of a Home Buyer’s Survey if any structural problems are suspected they’ll be noted for additional investigation by an experienced structural engineer, who’ll be able to identify the specific problem and advise on the practical options to correct. Where there is a larger suspected problem or the building’s background is particularly poor, a general structural inspection may be performed which will consist of an evaluation of the complete structure and all load-bearing facets of the building, along with inspections of the surrounding site and any potential influences it could have, such as drainage issues or any trees close to the foundations of the property.
Structural surveys can also be performed on an ad hoc basis on existing buildings if you suspect any type of structural defect, for example 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.
