Recording premises and structures before, during or after building work.
Building work may affect a property, neighbouring buildings, a road or outdoor areas. A judicial bailiff’s report provides a written and photographic record of the condition observed, within a scope agreed with the client.
Record the existing condition of façades, premises, common areas, roads and relevant surroundings. General views identify the location; close-up photographs illustrate cracks, damage and other visible features.
Record completed work and visible installations, finishes, apparent defects or materials present. A single visit or several visits can preserve a record of the relevant stages of a project.
Describe the work and finishes following an intervention, together with any visible damage. Where an earlier report is available, the same areas can be revisited to make comparison easier.
When a contractor leaves the premises or work is interrupted, a report can describe the visible work, installations and materials left on site. It preserves the condition at that particular moment, before another team takes over. Statements made during the visit are distinguished from the bailiff’s own observations.
The assignment may cover a few rooms, an entire property, a long stretch of road or outdoor features. Its scope is defined from your request and the available plans. The report groups photographs and observations by area, with a location plan where this helps readers find their way.
The report records observed facts. Technical analysis of the causes of damage or compliance of construction work may require a separate expert assessment.
The report gives owners, property managers and contractors a common document to refer to. It remains available as the project develops or the people involved change. The office can assist with a single visit or records at different stages.
