Pre & Post Construction Surveys

Documentation of the condition of adjacent properties and streetscapes before and after construction is a helpful risk-management tool as it provides a record of conditions prior to construction.

Before construction starts, high resolution photographs and video are taken of the exterior and interior of the adjacent properties and streetscapes in the vicinity of the project. Once construction is complete, this process is repeated. By comparing the before and after photos and videos ECS can determine if damage to a particular building or streetscape occurred as a result of construction.

Continuous real-time monitoring and data collection such as crack monitoring devices, vibration monitoring and 3-dimensional monitoring can also be performed.

Why Opt for Professional Pre- and Post-Construction Surveys

Pre- and post-construction surveys are important for several reasons. They benefit both the subject property owner or developer and the adjacent property owners. 

For adjacent property owners, a pre-construction survey provides a record of evidence. If their property experiences any damage during the construction process, such as a crack in the foundation or walls, the adjacent property owner can refer to the pre-construction survey to prove that the cracks did not exist before the construction began.

Similarly, the survey protects developers or subject property owners from false claims by adjacent property owners. If the report shows that a crack or other form of damage was preexisting, the adjacent property owner will not have a claim against the developer. 

Post-construction surveys provide peace of mind to developers or property owners. The results of the survey can show that the project complied with codes and that it took adequate steps to protect and secure adjacent properties. 

If there should be an issue following construction, the post-construction survey can highlight areas of concern. The survey can also cover areas that need inspection following the completion of the project.
