This is a very detailed report; the inspection takes several hours and may involve some limited disturbance to the building itself. The surveyor will examine closely the structure and condition of the building and, in some cases, may recommend specialist reports for drainage, electrical systems, central heating and timber diseases.
Some restrictions may still exist to prevent complete inspection (such as fitted floor coverings, limited roof access), but within these limitations the survey will be complete. In recognition of the work required for this report, the structural survey is considerably more expensive than any other type of report.
