Stock Condition Survey

Tender description

Scope of Survey The survey should take the form of an appraisal of the main parts of the structure including roofs (internal & external) , walls, floors and finishes, internal and external areas including fencing and paving arising out of visual inspection only. An assessment of the condition of components within the properties – kitchen, bathroom, boiler, cylinder, windows, doors (internal and external). The age of/end of life of fire system components within each property requires assessment and recording – CO alarms, smoke alarms heat detectors. Communal fire systems are periodically checked and serviced by service provider but would also need recording. The survey should incorporate a 100% drive-by ‘impressionistic survey’ of the whole stock to accurately facilitate the cloning of data to uninspected properties based on suitably representative “donor” assets. Any general comments pertaining to a property that would be deemed of importance to us as the asset owner. Where parts of the structure are inaccessible or unexposed and no opinion can be given, attention should be drawn within the report that such situations have arisen. No tests will be carried out on electrical, plumbing, heating or drainage installations. Survey is to include all ‘common areas’ associated with multi occupancy buildings (internal & external). The furnishing of a 30 year forecast of Repairs, Cyclical & Planned Maintenance Works in respect of the findings of the condition survey is required. A schedule of photographs should be provided to compliment the report. Capacity to complete the project within an 3 month timeframe.
