Building Condition Surveys & Audits

What Does the Condition Survey Report Include?

A condition survey report is specific to the building under survey. For example, residential real estate condition survey reports include details such as the evaluation of the residential premiss including the entrance, rooms, lounge, and more. The report includes photo evidence associated with the surveyed building elements as well.

The commercial property condition survey reports include details about the building’s infrastructure, physical condition, and photo evidence pertaining to that.
