Résumé

Since the first edition was published in 1983, Building Surveys has been the core text in its field for students and professionals alike. Covering everything needed for initial inspections such as equipment, know-how and procedures to writing an accurate report, this book is a proven indispensable guide.

This 6th edition has been updated to include changes in legislation and recent court cases, and highlights new concerns such as asbestos, contamination and energy efficiency in buildings. The book also contains details on the recently introduced Home Condition Report - the so called Home Buyers' Pack compulsory for all home sellers from June 2007 - for which an estimated 7500 Home Inspectors will be needed.

It considers all the structural elements required when surveying a property for example, foundations, walls and roofs as well as what to look out for and how to deal with it. Legal considerations and recent cases are used to illustrate good working practice making this a comprehensive text to this important subject.
