The Homeowner's Condition Report
Condition reports are useful decision-making documents for clients and architects, mostly needed to define repairs or extensions on conservation projects, or to inform a decision to purchase.
Condition reports are useful decision-making documents for clients. They may inform a decision to purchase a building. Most often they are undertaken for the purposes of defining repairs to be incorporated into a conservation or refurbishment project. Architectural conservation work and upgrading of historic and listed buildings is a speciality of Thomas Robinson Architects.
Our method of inspection and reporting involves a close examination of all of the building elements and then categorisation by priority in a way that can be budget costed.
The process of undertaking these reports enables the architect to build up a deep understanding of a building. Items such as chimneys, leadwork, slating, stonework, render, the condition of timber elements, ventilation, finishes of all kinds, structure and services are all considered and where required other specialists may be introduced. Often this is the first step in assisting a client with plans to improve or develop a building.
