What is a Building Condition Assessment?

A Building Condition Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the physical state of a building. This assessment identifies material, and environmental issues that may affect the integrity and safety of the property. For heritage buildings, these assessments are critical for maintaining historical and architectural significance.
