Knowledge with the
Building Survey
Level 3
Choose this report if dealing with a large, older or run-down property, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works. It costs more than the other levels of reporting because it gives detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.
The report objectively describes the form of construction and materials used for different parts of the property. It describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems.
''The report was turned around within 48 hours, and is clearly very thorough!''
