Condition Survey of Buildings and Structures

The purpose of this Survey is to enable manufacturing sites to conduct a visual, non-invasive condition survey of buildings and other structures and to record and categorise any identified defects.

The identification and categorisation of any defects will assist in ensuring the safety of Client personnel and site visitors through the planning, budgeting and implementation of any repairs and/or replacements. It will also assist in informing future budgets for both capital expenditure and maintenance expenditure. Orient Research engineers with the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience will be engaged to assess the defect and confirm the necessary action.

It is recommended that the survey be carried out at least annually and also after any extreme weather event such as high winds or heavy rain which may damage the building or structure. Surveys should also be carried out after any incident involving impact damage from vehicles or premises.

For areas that are not easily accessible, such as some roofs, the survey is carried out using a drone.
