Structural Engineering Survey of Buildings and Structures — Kyiv and Kyiv Region
Structural engineering survey of buildings and structures is a key stage in the process of operation, reconstruction, or change of functional use of a real estate object. In Kyiv and the Kyiv region, this service is especially in demand due to active construction, the reconstruction of historical buildings, and the need to confirm the technical condition of structures.
The company GlobalBud Ukraine provides professional structural engineering surveys in full compliance with current legislation and national building codes.
What Is a Structural Engineering Survey?
A structural engineering survey is a comprehensive technical assessment that includes the analysis of the actual condition of load-bearing and enclosing structures, determining their wear level, and assessing the possibility of further operation, reconstruction, or extension.
Such a survey is mandatory in the following cases:
- Reconstruction or major repairs;
- Change of the building’s functional purpose;
- Preparation for commissioning a facility;
- Preparation of a technical passport or legalization of unauthorized construction;
- Concerns about safety (cracks, subsidence, or emergency conditions).
Regulatory Framework for Engineering Surveys
The procedure for structural engineering surveys is regulated by:
- Law of Ukraine “On Regulation of Urban Development Activities”;
- DBN B.1.2-14:2018 “General Principles of Ensuring Reliability and Structural Safety of Buildings and Structures”;
- DSTU-N B V.1.2-18:2016 “Guidelines for Assessing the Technical Condition of Buildings and Structures”.
How the Engineering Survey Is Conducted: Main Stages
-
Preparation Stage
- Collection of initial documentation (project, technical passport, permits).
- Visual inspection of the facility.
-
Instrumental Survey
- Use of instruments to measure cracks, deformations, humidity level, and material strength.
- Detection of hidden defects.
-
Analytical Data Processing
- Development of a calculation model.
- Assessment of the technical condition according to classification: operational, limited operational, or emergency.
-
Preparation of the Technical Report
- Conclusion on the technical condition.
- Recommendations for further use, repair, or reconstruction.
- If necessary — engineering conclusions for legalization or obtaining a building passport.
