What is a Pre-Construction Survey?
Pre-construction surveys (PCSs) are comprehensive evaluations of properties nearby a construction site to document pre-existing conditions, damages, or irregularities within the exterior, roof, or other structure elements of these properties prior to the groundbreaking.
By conducting a pre-construction survey, construction professionals and property owners can create an accurate baseline record to track any pre-existing changes or damages compared to changes caused by construction activity during and after the project.
Why Do You Need a Pre-Construction Survey in California?
Prevent disputes
By documenting pre-existing conditions, surveys help reduce conflicts between property owners and construction teams by creating an objective basis for comparing previous conditions with those existing now.
Risk mitigation
Anticipating potential issues ahead of time provides proactive risk mitigation so construction activities can be planned and conducted to limit any negative repercussions.
Historical preservation
When surveying areas with historical significance, surveys can help preserve structures by documenting existing conditions and providing guidance during construction activities to minimize impact.
Insurance coverage
A comprehensive pre-construction survey may be required by insurance providers to facilitate the procurement of adequate coverage for potential construction-related risks.
Compliance with local regulations and building codes
A survey ensures compliance with local laws and building codes to facilitate a smooth construction process and avoid potential legal complications.
Dilapidation Survey
Dilapidation surveys involve conducting extensive inspections of structures in the vicinity of the construction site, whether commercial or residential, to document and assess their current state before beginning construction activities nearby.

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.
