Good Building Guide
Abstract
With timber-framed houses, site findings and observations require careful interpretation during the preparation of a condition report. This Guide shows how to assess the significance of key observations and readings which may have been taken during an earlier survey or supplementary inspection. This guide includes new advice for assessing building condition, and identifying any need for remedial work. Although intended for use with conventional timber frame design, the guidance has general applicability to less common timber frame systems.
