Building Surveys and Reports
Written by Edward Noy and James Douglas this book provides guidance on survey work for typical residential, commercial and industrial buildings, together with advice on how to diagnose a wide range of defects. It considers both modern and older construction methods, as well as new and traditional materials. The particular problems of alteration and renovation work are discussed, with guidance on how to carry out measured surveys. A separate chapter covers survey problems after flood and fire damage. The legal section takes account of recent developments in case law relating to inspections and surveys of properties. The third edition has been updated and expanded to cover the latest procedures and research. It includes four new appendices containing the Construction Industry Council’s list of definitions of building inspections and surveys, sample survey schedules, advice on surveying safely and a glossary of building inspection terms. Published by Blackwells, this paperback is priced at £34.99.
