Additional information on when a building inspection should be performed
The cases in which a technical inspection is required are set out in the Latvian building code LBN 405-21 on technical inspection of structures. A technical inspection is carried out in the following cases:
1. Periodically while the structure is in use:

Group II and III bridges, overpasses, viaducts, flyovers, pedestrian bridges and crossings, road culverts, tunnels and retaining walls: at least once every 5 years.
2. Before a design for renovation, rebuilding, restoration or conservation of a structure or its part is prepared, before conservation is discontinued, and before documentation is prepared for a simplified facade renovation.
3. In other cases where the actual technical condition of a structure or its part must be determined.
4. Before a design for renovation, rebuilding or restoration and before documentation for a simplified facade renovation, as well as in other cases, the technical inspection and assessment is carried out to the extent set out in the technical inspection assignment.
