Technical Report on the Condition of Building Structures
Technical Report on the Condition of Building Structures — is an official document that provides an assessment of the technical condition of load-bearing and enclosing elements of a building. Such a report is mandatory in a number of cases related to reconstruction, remodeling, commissioning of an object, or resolving legal disputes regarding real estate.
When is a Technical Report Needed?
A technical report on the condition of structures is required in the following situations:
-
Before reconstruction or remodeling of premises.
For example, when demolishing walls, combining rooms, or changing the functional purpose of a space. -
For legalization of unauthorized construction or remodeling.
The report is required for preparing technical documentation and submission to the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate. -
When commissioning a building after construction or major repairs.
-
In case of emergency condition of the building or its separate elements.
This allows making decisions regarding repair, strengthening, or demolition. -
In court cases regarding structural failures or property valuation.
-
To confirm the safe technical condition of a property during real estate purchase and sale.
What Does a Technical Report Include?
The document is prepared based on a survey of building structures, conducted by qualified engineers in accordance with DSTU and DBN standards.
The structure of a technical report usually includes:
-
General information about the object: address, purpose, technical characteristics.
