What is a Post Construction Survey?

Post construction surveys are assessments conducted after the completion of construction projects to examine any changes or damage that have occurred to the surrounding environment or existing structures due to construction activity.

The survey is intended to detect issues like cracked structures, shifting land or infrastructure, and any other changes caused by construction processes. Photographs and descriptions collected as part of this assessment establish baseline conditions, determine liability, and recommend remediation if needed.

Importance and Benefits

Liability determination

Establishing a baseline condition before construction and comparing it with post-construction states allows these surveys to help establish liability in case of disputes or damages, providing invaluable legal and insurance information.

Insurance claims

Post-construction surveys offer essential documentation that supports insurance claims by showing whether damages existed before or as a result of construction activities.

Peace of mind

Post-construction surveys offer peace of mind to developers or property owners. Their results show that the project complied with codes, as well as sufficient steps were taken to protect and secure adjacent properties.

Maintenance planning

Data obtained during a survey can be invaluable when planning and maintenance efforts are conducted in the future. It provides insights into potential issues that require attention, leading to proactive maintenance that minimizes long-term costs.

Pre- and Post-Construction Survey in California

Our pre- and post-construction survey offers a comprehensive evaluation of properties to ensure compliance with regulatory standards while pinpointing any changes that have taken place since construction began. Here’s an overview of each service offered

Pre-construction survey

  • Thorough assessment of existing structures and surroundings before construction.
  • Identification of baseline conditions for liability determination and risk mitigation.
  • Comprehensive documentation of the pre-construction state for future reference.

Post-construction survey

  • Detailed inspection of structures and surroundings after construction completion.
  • Documentation of any changes or damages to assess the impact of construction activities.
  • Provision of a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations for remediation.
  • Seamless coordination with clients for transparent communication and client satisfaction.

Our Process

Survey planning

Before initiating any post-construction survey, our team takes great care in planning its process. This involves setting specific objectives and defining the radius for identifying key areas or structures for inspection.

Field inspection

Our qualified surveyors conduct an in-depth inspection of buildings and their surroundings, taking meticulous notes of any changes or damages caused by construction activities. They analyze structural elements, infrastructure systems, land conditions, and vegetation.

Data documentation

After conducting the field inspection, all collected information is carefully documented with written descriptions, photographs, and any relevant details regarding changes or damages observed.

Analysis and evaluation

Once the data is compiled, our team meticulously evaluates its findings. This step involves comparing post-construction conditions against their pre-construction baseline to detect discrepancies or issues.

Reporting and recommendations

As part of our post-construction survey process, we produce an in-depth report with all our findings, documenting any noticeable changes or damages and suggesting remediation or future maintenance measures if applicable.

Satisfied Customers

As a seasoned architect, I strive to build a competent team of professionals on every project I am involved in.  With that said, the CASp consultant I would highly recommend is Troy Milburn, the CASp of Certified ADA Consultants, Inc. located in Granite Bay, CA.  
Currently, Troy is assisting with an extremely complex project in a local Historic District.  Upgrading an Historic Building up to the current accessibility codes is no easy task, but Troy has been outstanding in providing sensible and thorough guidance to make our project ADA compliant.  My client, my team, and I are thrilled to have Troy Milburn on this project, and I will be engaging Troy on future projects.
