This looks at the property’s condition, including any risks, potential legal issues and urgent defects. It’s generally for standard properties and relatively new homes in a good condition. T Full Building Survey A full Building Survey is a level three report. Essentially, this is an in-depth look at the property’s condition with advice on defects, repairs and how to maintain the property. A level three survey is suitable for older properties, unusual homes, renovation projects and properties in a poor condition. As such it is the more expensive and comprehensive option.

These markers are usually staked out according to a suitable coordinate system selected for the project.
