The job of a building inspector is no small task. They have the huge responsibility of making sure a building complies with all of the regulations put in place to ensure peoples safety. Their job varies depending on whether it be a commercial building or a domestic property that requires evaluation, and what it’s being analysed for. However, the main goal from an inspection is always ensuring safety.
By regularly inspecting buildings or making sure a new building project meets safety requirements, the public can be protected from dangerous structures, that if left unchecked may pose a hazard. When a building inspection is carried out it is important that all bases are covered. There are several things that building inspectors could be looking out for. To name a few, the foundation of the building, potential structural issues, damp proofing, ventilation, insulations, and fire proofing.
When it comes to building inspections, its vitally important to be thorough. No areas, no matter how difficult to access, can afford to be missed. This means that some form of access is required for all areas of a building. Scaffolding or work platforms are the most common choice, however, they have many disadvantages when it comes to building inspections. They are bulky, expensive, and time consuming to erect, making the job a bigger, and more difficult one than it has to be.
