Looking at many practical case studies, it explains the equipment and skills that are needed, highlights the critical defects to look out for - those areas where the most negligence claims arise - and provides an invaluable overview of how and what to inspect. From taking instructions and agreeing terms of engagement to the crucial business of report writing and everything in between, this book is a perfect primer for construction professionals about the expanding business of building condition surveys.Product Identifiers
