At an opening
Where is the window or door? What do you notice around it?
The building fabric
Start with the roof,
walls and windows.
The walls, roof, floors, windows and doors work as parts of one building. We review accessible features and available information within the agreed scope.
A useful observation starts with a place.
Describe the part of the property and when you notice a difference. The assessment can then connect that observation with the wider construction.
Across a surface
Is the concern in one area or spread across the room?
Where parts meet
Describe the junction and any visible changes without assuming a cause.
Existing construction
We review what can be established about the accessible building elements and available property records.
Windows & openings
We review what you have noticed near windows and doors alongside the rest of the building.
Where building parts meet
We consider how a proposed change affects adjoining parts of the building and other planned work.
Information still needed
The record identifies questions or additional specialist input needed before a decision is made.
A useful starting point

you’ve noticed.
