Building Structure Monitoring

Do you own or reside in  an older building? Have you started to notice cracks in the walls and ceiling from the building shifting over time?
Then you may require monitoring surveys to help you determine what needs to be fixed and how quickly the building is deteriorating.

The Gem Land Surveying team can undertake high quality building monitoring over a monthly, bi monthly, quarterly or annual schedule.

What information does a monitoring survey give me?

A monitoring survey focuses on detecting any building movement that may be occurring and documenting the magnitude and direction of this movement. 

This information helps building owners and contractors to understand what repair work should be considered and helps to give a picture of the movement over time to help identify if the situation is becoming worse.

Is a monitoring survey necessary?

Yes. Monitoring surveys are required for any type of building or structure showing signs of movement as a safety precaution. This includes things such as dams, bridges, retaining walls and buildings.

If you require a monitoring survey and would like more information on the process, costs and frequency contact the Gem team today. Our team is more than happy to answer any questions that you may have to give you peace of mind and confidence in the Gem process.
