Pre-construction/blast surveys document existing conditions of structures within a determined area before a project begins. Contractors, quarries or mining operators may offer this service to area property owners; and many times local, city and county ordinances require property owners be given the option of having a survey conducted.

Sauls Seismic functions as an unbiased third party in conducting these existing-condition surveys on residential or commercial property. An inspection consists of both photographic and graphic documentation of the conditions of structures. Experienced technicians are thoroughly trained in conducting these surveys with the utmost professionalism using the latest technology.

A survey documents pre-existing conditions on the exterior as well as interior of a structure. Conditions noted are such things as: cracks in sidewalks, driveways and retaining walls; broken or cracked windows; drywall cracks and separations; nail pops, etc. By having an inspection of a home or business, owners and project representatives have documentation of existing conditions.

These structural surveys also provide an important public relations link to any project. Many times, the Sauls technician is the only contact a property owner has with a project. This valuable connection gives homeowners information about the project in their community and it allows for the project team to learn about any community concerns.
