A technical inspection report is one of the most important documents in the construction and real estate industry. It provides detailed information about the technical condition of a building or structure, identifies potential risks and recommends improvements necessary for safe operation.
What is a technical inspection report?
A technical inspection report is a written document prepared by a certified specialist after a detailed inspection of a structure or building. The report indicates the defects and damages found, as well as provides recommendations for their elimination. This document is especially important when planning to carry out reconstruction, renovation, purchase real estate or put a structure into operation.
Historical fact
The importance of technical inspection became particularly relevant after the tragic events in Riga in 1997, when part of the Leningrad Hotel collapsed, which resulted in increased requirements for technical inspection of buildings. Since then, a technical inspection report has become a mandatory process for many buildings to prevent potential accidents and improve the safety of buildings.
