Building Condition Surveys: A Practical and Concise Introduction

This will be a well-thumbed reference on-site or at your desk for architects, surveyors and other construction professionals. It will also be invaluable for students of surveying, estate management and construction as well as student architects at Part 3.

New techniques for further investigation including thermography, endoscopy and ground radar

New hazards such as Japanese Knotweed

Updated to reflect the latest RICS regulations, legislation and guidance on building surveying
