Legal overview
An urgent site inspection can preserve evidence when a defect may disappear through repair, demolition or further construction. The request should specify the threatened evidence and the factual or technical findings needed.
Practical steps
Keep the contract, plans, site records and dated images. Identify any immediate safety work and document the condition as far as practicable. Final liability and damages are determined in the substantive claim.
Official sources
General legal information. Individual cases require review of the documents and applicable law.
