Preconstruction Surveys
Pre-construction surveys are a crucial prerequisite before commencing any construction work, serving to safeguard both the contractor and surrounding building owners. At Protectonic, we have been dedicated to this vital task since 1999, employing advanced digital video and photography techniques to record the condition of structures.
​
Our skilled technicians meticulously document all visible surfaces, utilizing LED lighting to reveal imperfections that might be hidden in typical ambient light conditions.
​
We offer our surveying services for a wide range of structures, including homes, businesses, office buildings, bridges and schools. Our systematic process makes it easy to pinpoint specific areas in the event of any damage claims. These surveys are also commonly referred to as "Building Envelope Surveys" and "Existing Condition Surveys."
​
Upon completion of the survey, we provide a pre-construction report, as required by the Department of Buildings (DOB).
