Types of Survey
- Management Survey (Formally Type 2). A Management survey is the standard survey. Its purpose is to locate, as far as is reasonably practical, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. The Management survey will form the basis of the management document to be used by the duty holder in the management of ACMs on a particular site, and should cover routine and simple maintenance work.
- Refurbishment/Demolition Survey (Formally Type 3). A Refurbishment and Demolition Survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as is reasonably practical, all ACMs in the area where the Refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is required.
