Sixth Edition
By
Peter Glover, FRICS, FRICS, a Chartered Surveyor working in London
Description
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.
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.
