Building Fabric Condition Surveys
Building Fabric Condition Surveys are essential for maintaining the integrity, safety and value of a building.
By conducting regular and thorough assessments, building owners and managers can identify and address issues early, ensuring that their buildings remain in optimal condition.
Improved building performance
Instructing Three Sixty Design Solution’s RICS qualified and experienced professionals will enhance the effectiveness of such surveys – leading to improved building performance and reduced long-term costs.
Our surveys are comprehensive assessments of the physical condition of a building’s whole envelope, across the scope of both structural and non-structural elements.
Advanced technology
This includes foundations, walls, roofs, floors and ceilings as well as windows, doors, internal and external finishes, services such as plumbing and electrical systems, thermal performance, moisture and dampness and ventilation.
They stand out against traditional surveys due to the exceptional accuracy captured through our use of advanced technology such as thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and drones.
