PRE- & POST-CONSTRUCTION CONDITION SURVEYS VANCOUVER

In a dense city, certainty is priceless. Our Vancouver team documents interiors and exteriors with a repeatable route and angle plan, producing an organized photo/360 record and a concise annotated report. When questions arise months later, you’ll have a defensible timeline—no guesswork, no drama.

"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."

Overview & coverage

We build a capture plan tailored to Vancouver sites—tight laneways, shared walls, and strata hallways included. Coverage typically includes:

  • Exterior elevations, façades, retaining walls, and visible foundations
  • Interior rooms along the project‑adjacent side (ceilings, walls, floors)
  • Common areas when approved (lobbies, corridors, parking)
  • Site features such as stairs, paving, fencing, and landscaping

Deliverables

RAW DATA

Organized photo/360 set

Time‑stamped evidence arranged by address, level, and area/zone. It’s the difference between “we think” and “we know.”

DETAILED REPORT

Annotated report

Representative images with succinct notes and location references. Clear enough for owners, insurers, and counsel to follow.

SECURED SHARING

Download & sharing

Private, secure links for your team and stakeholders. Easy to retrieve months later.

ADD-ONS

Optional mapping refs

Simple mapping/location cues where appropriate to speed navigation and follow‑ups.

Workflow

Intake & route design

We confirm units/areas, create a route, and plan angles to minimize time on site.

Field capture

Interiors/exteriors photographed systematically; 360s added for context where useful.

QC & organization

Images checked, named, and sorted—so the archive is usable, not just big.

Reporting & delivery

Annotated PDF + the complete archive via secure link.

Access & coordination

We request clients to coordinate with strata councils, property managers, and tenants for access. Expect professional communication, clear time windows, and ID on arrival. For multi‑suite routes, we cluster units by stack to keep visits efficient.

Compliance & boundaries

  • Documentation only: no diagnosis, cause, or structural opinions
  • Safety & privacy: site PPE and building rules respected; interior photos taken with consent
  • Comparisons: change reviews require comparable framing; building‑wide comparisons are scoped separately

Turnaround & pricing

  • Scheduling: typically 24–48 hours from approval for Vancouver‑area sites
  • Delivery: 24–72 hours depending on scope, access, and volume
  • Pricing: quoted per property/area and complexity; travel/time windows may affect cost
  • Rush: expedited options available

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​.
