Civil and structural
engineering firms offer a wide range of building and surveying services. So,
when should you request for a building survey, topographical survey or project management services? Here is some
information to help you make the right choice.
Topographical surveys are typically required when land is being developed or altered. Civil
engineering projects such as the construction of roads, tunnels and bridges
need the services of topographical surveyors to identify details of natural or
manmade features within an area of land. Projects involving the construction of
new buildings/structures or land repurposing also require topographical
surveys. Once the survey is completed, surveyors produce precise and detailed
plan drawings of the area.
Professional building surveyors perform building
surveys on existing properties. Building surveys are comprehensive and include
descriptions of each element of a building. These surveys are useful in
identifying a property’s defects, the apparent cause of a defect, priorities
for repair and the potential cost of repair. Building surveys are useful for
all types of properties but are most suitable for listed properties, older
properties, unusually constructed buildings or buildings that are about to be
renovated. If you’re considering buying an old or unusually constructed
property, you should consider a building survey.
You may want to consider the
services of a professional project
manager in Yorkshire and other parts of the UK if you’re planning to
undertake a significant construction project either in the private sector or
public sector. Project managers bring discipline to construction projects and
help clients maintain control over different aspects such as quality, cost,
timely delivery and safety. Project managers are multi-skilled professionals
who act as a single point of contact between a client and contractors. As part
of project management services, a civil and structural engineering firm offers
comprehensive solutions covering all phases from inception to completion.
