Interpretation of findings by surveyors in reporting to clients

Abstract

Discusses the duty of structural surveyors to interpret their findings in reporting to their clients, using examples from legislation and specific cases. Suggests that current attention of commentators is focused on observations of defects, but that too little attention has been paid to the question of interpretation of those findings made. Concludes that such interpretation is regarded as a positive legal duty incumbent on structural surveyors.
