Building survey and findings

The construction survey of a historic building serves various purposes. It can be part of the recording and research (inventory), the basis for conservation measures (restoration) and the starting point for planning changes (adaptation).

In the field of monument preservation, the building survey defines the current condition of an object. A building survey forms an essential basis for the development of property-specific conservation measures and is usually essential for change measures. It is the basis for project presentation and a tool for tendering, construction management and subsequent building maintenance.
