As a building surveyor, I consider that the existing building books are fundamental tools in the management and conservation of properties. These documents allow us to understand the original state and modifications of a building over time, which facilitates informed decision-making regarding its maintenance and rehabilitation.

Furthermore, technical inspections are essential for evaluating the safety, stability, and efficiency of a construction. These inspections, carried out periodically, help to identify potential risks and plan preventive interventions. My experience has taught me that both building books and technical inspections are key to ensuring the durability of properties and the safety of their occupants.
