Detailed visual assessment of walls, floors, ceilings, roof structure, and foundations where accessible, identifying signs of movement and distress.
Structural Survey vs Building Survey: What Is the Difference?
A building survey (RICS Level 3) is a comprehensive review of the entire property. A structural survey is a focused investigation into specific structural concerns — cracking, movement, subsidence, or damp — and is often commissioned when a particular defect needs expert diagnosis.
In many cases our chartered surveyors combine both approaches: a full building survey that includes enhanced structural commentary where needed.
