A building survey help owners understand their building. Our surveys starts with understanding the owner’s experience of the building, as well as how they expect to use and live with it. We carefully observe the conditions, using our staff and select contractors to document what is seen and what can be hidden deep. This “deconstructive analysis” can involve careful removal and reinstallation of parts such as trim, plaster, siding, flooring, etc. to help unravel the mysteries or damages of the house. Specific analysis such as Window Surveys can help a homeowner or a historic district committee understand the age, condition, and function of the window units, to help determine the feasibility of their repair and/or restoration.
