Report on Structural Condition Assessment

The report content should be consistent with the agreed-on scope of services. A simple checklist may suffice for a Cursory Assessment and a letter report for a Preliminary Assessment. A full report is more appropriate for a Detailed Assessment. This section is a guide since the order and content of the report may vary with the scope of the engagement, methods and techniques employed by the design professional, and for specific investigations. It provides a description of the various parts of the Preliminary and Detailed Assessments as may be used. The section as written presents a form for a typical client/consultant relationship but does not preclude a different format. An “Executive Summary” at the beginning of the report is discretionary. If included, it should contain brief statements of the purpose, scope, conclusions, and recommendations.
