A building survey is an engineering work to determine the load-bearing capability of the main units and structures of the building, the state of its utility systems and its general technical condition. The main task is to detect any critical defects and deformations which prevent further safe operation of the construction or to determine whether it can be reconstructed. Following the results of the survey, a conclusion can be made about the safety and functionality of the building, its foundations, load-bearing structures and utility systems. Based on the results of the survey, works on building renovation design can be started.
The main work consists in the analytical comparison of the existing design documentation with the findings of the visual and instrumental analysis received in the course of work. In the process, actual values of the predetermined dynamic and geometric parameters specified in the survey plan are measured; these parameters, called "controlled parameters”, characterize the current state and actual operation capabilities of the main elements of the building under survey.
APBP Architectural Bureau has been specializing in conducting building surveys for more than 12 years. In this period of time we surveyed hundreds of sites in Moscow and Moscow Oblast, as well as in Magadan, Nizhnevartovsk, Samara, Perm, Krasnodar, Orenburg and other cities. We are ready to carry out survey works in any city of the Russian Federation issuing a qualified technical statement for a reasonable price, being traditionally accurate and doing our job with excellence. We are convenient to work with.

Our customers are well-known development companies and design firms, large commercial and state institutions.
In 2019, APBP carried out a comprehensive survey of the building of the logistics distribution center "X-5 Retail Group" with an area of 7800 sq.m. in the Kstovo industrial park, Nizhny Novgorod, including a detailed examination of the roof and load-bearing structures of the building, calculation of the mutual influence of multi-temperature zones with different temperature regimes, as well as an examination to determine the parameters of the reconstruction of the building of the Semi-finished Products Production Department of Perekrestok Trading House JSC with an area of 6300 sq. m. in the city of Dolgoprudny, Moscow region.
To instrumentally determine the strength and technical state of the structures, APBP uses modern research devices, such us reinforcement detectors, flaw detectors, dynamometers, densimeters, crack width gauges, sclerometers, thermographs, tensometers, deflectometers, using a variety of methods to test materials – acoustic, ultrasonic, neutron, etc.
The survey results are documented in the form of the technical statement, issued in due form approved by the regulatory instructions, with the description and photofixation of the defects, findings of the works performed and recommendations on the reinforcement of the structures. The works end with the qualified statement that determines the possibility and conditions of the further safe operation of the building, eliminating any possible emergency situations in the future, and instructing on the necessary restoration, reinforcement and modernization of the construction.
Standard situations that require surveying the technical state of the buildings:
Surveying the building of the first presidential cadet corps in the city of Orenburg prior to its reconstruction.
Survey works are carried out by design and research organizations that are authorized to perform this type of work. A technical statement is issued following the results of the survey.
A technical statement is a set of documents containing text and graphic materials, which form an impartial engineering report, conclusions on the actual technical state of the building and its utility systems, any detected critical deformations and dangerous divergences of the most important parameters, as well as recommendations on the necessary reinforcement of the structures, possibility and requirements for the further safe operation of the building.
The contents of the technical statement issued following the results of the survey:
Surveying the soils under the foundation of the building.
In some cases, in order to prepare a technical statement on the state of the building and its structures, it is necessary to survey the soil under the foundation of the building. The soil survey is conducted in the following cases:
Photographic evidence of the defects in a building survey.
In addition to building surveys, the APBP Architectural Bureau carries out surveys of any types of engineering structures – boiler-rooms, heat supply stations, free-standing elevators, hangars, boathouses, inflatable structures. We also conduct surveys of all types of road structures, including bridges and underground passages, treatment facilities, reinforced concrete arched shelters and other types of capital construction shelters, bunkers, underground structures, snow shelters, fountains and other engineering structures.
