Structural Surveys
Thorough structural surveys and condition assessments for residential and commercial properties, providing clear written reports from qualified engineers.
A structural survey provides a detailed assessment of a property's structural condition, identifying any defects, areas of concern or structural issues that may require attention. At Offset Engineering, our experienced engineers carry out thorough inspections and produce clear, actionable reports that give property owners, buyers and developers the information they need.
What Does a Structural Survey Include?
Our structural surveys cover all accessible structural elements of a property, including foundations, walls, floors, roofs and any visible structural components. We assess the condition of each element, identify any cracking, movement, deterioration or defects, and provide a professional opinion on the likely cause and significance. The report includes photographic evidence and clear recommendations.
When Should You Commission a Structural Survey?
A structural survey is advisable when purchasing a property with suspected structural issues, following structural damage such as subsidence or flooding, when carrying out refurbishment works, when concerned about cracking or movement, or as part of a planned maintenance programme. Our engineers can advise on the appropriate level of inspection for your circumstances.
Our Survey Reports
Our reports are written in plain English with technical detail where required. Each report provides a description of the property and its construction, a condition assessment of the structural elements inspected, identification of defects with photographic evidence, an opinion on the likely cause and significance of any issues found, and clear recommendations for remedial action where required.
