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.

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.
