Objective of the Walk-Through Survey

The primary goal of the walk-through survey is to visually observe the subject property, identify areas of interest, and gather crucial information. This step lays the foundation for the inspection report, offering insights into the property’s physical condition and potential deficiencies.

Access Responsibility

To ensure a smooth and efficient inspection, it is the client’s responsibility to arrange for timely access to:

• The property and its components, including locked or restricted areas.
• Relevant documents, reports, and information in the client’s possession.
• Individuals with knowledge of the property for interviews.

If access to any part of the property, documentation, or personnel is delayed, withheld, or impeded, the inspector will note these limitations in the final report. Such restrictions may affect the comprehensiveness of the inspection.

Revisits to the Property

While the inspection process typically includes only one walk-through survey, there may be situations where a revisit is necessary. For example, additional areas may need examination following the research phase. Any revisits will be agreed upon with the client and documented in the inspection process.

Inspector Safety

Safety is paramount during the walk-through survey. Our inspectors are trained to prioritize their safety while performing evaluations, avoiding hazardous areas or unsafe conditions. Any inaccessible or unsafe areas will be documented in the report, and recommendations may be provided for further evaluation by specialized professionals.
