Build the scope elevation by elevation
Orientation, coastal exposure, shading and prior repairs can create different deterioration patterns. Capture plans should identify each elevation and the level of detail needed.
Key Considerations
- Name and map every elevation
- Record facade systems and interfaces
- Identify known concern areas before capture
Keep findings within the evidence
Remote imagery can identify and locate visible symptoms. Where diagnosis depends on concealed construction, material testing or tactile assessment, the report should identify the next investigation rather than infer a cause.
Key Considerations
- Distinguish observation from diagnosis
- Use consistent defect references
- State where close access is still required
