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

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​.

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​.

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​.

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​.

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​.
