PRE-CONSTRUCTION & POST-CONSTRUCTION CONDITION SURVEYS
(BRITISH COLUMBIA - BC)

Lil Mount provides professional Construction Condition Surveys in Vancouver, BC and across Western Canada. We protect developers, contractors, and owners from unwarranted damage disputes. Our condition surveys are visual documentations of buildings, roadways, rail tracks,  bridges, government infrastructures, utilities, and of all surrounding structures within the construction zone of influence.

Using high-resolution photographic systems, video documentation, aerial surveys, and 3D modeling, we provide admissible documentation to safeguard your project from false damage claims, legal disputes, and insurance issues. Post-condition surveys will be conducted at the end of the project compare and verify structural conditions with the pre-condition survey.

Whether you’re working near transit lines, dense urban zones, or sensitive infrastructure, Lil Mount has only one goal - to help you build with confidence.

"As part of our downtown high-rise development, we needed detailed pre-construction surveys of multiple adjacent buildings. Lil Mount Monitoring provided high-resolution photos, video walkthroughs, and drone footage that exceeded our expectations. The report became a critical tool when responding to tenant concerns during construction."

Frequently Asked Questions about Pre and Post Construction Surveys

What is a construction condition survey, and why is it important?

A construction condition survey is a detailed assessment that documents the existing conditions of a building or structure before, during, and after construction projects. These surveys are vital for identifying pre-existing damages and changes that occur over time, which can protect against false claims of construction-related damage. By establishing a clear baseline, condition surveys ensure transparency and accountability, helping project managers, engineers, and developers maintain project integrity and compliance with regulations​.

How do construction condition surveys help prevent disputes?

Construction condition surveys help prevent disputes by providing detailed photographic and videographic evidence of a site's condition. This documentation serves as an objective record that can be referenced in case of disagreements over damage claims, effectively protecting clients from unwarranted liability. By offering clear evidence, these surveys facilitate quick resolution of disputes and reduce the risk of costly legal proceedings, making them an essential tool for managing risks and maintaining good relationships with stakeholders​.

What technologies are used in construction condition surveys?

Our construction condition surveys utilize advanced technologies, including 360° cameras, drones, and LiDAR scanners, to capture high-resolution images, videos, and 3D models. These cutting-edge tools provide comprehensive and accurate documentation, allowing for detailed analysis and comparison of site conditions. The use of these technologies ensures that every aspect of the construction environment is meticulously recorded, enhancing the ability to monitor progress, assess quality, and address potential issues proactively​.

How frequently should condition surveys be conducted during a project?

Condition surveys should be conducted at critical project milestones, including before construction begins, during key phases, and after completion. Regular documentation helps track changes and ensures compliance with quality and safety standards. By maintaining a consistent survey schedule, stakeholders can monitor project progress, address issues promptly, and validate that construction practices align with regulatory requirements. This proactive approach supports effective project management and enhances overall project outcomes​.

What sectors benefit most from construction condition surveys?

Construction condition surveys are beneficial across various sectors, including commercial real estate, infrastructure development, historic preservation, and industrial facilities. In commercial real estate, surveys help maintain property value and support transaction processes by providing clear records of property conditions. In infrastructure projects, they ensure the safety and reliability of critical components like roads and bridges. Historic preservation efforts benefit from accurate documentation that guides restoration, while industrial facilities use surveys to assess structural integrity and optimize maintenance strategies​.
