What an on-site masonry assessment adds
Photographs help show a condition, but they cannot establish everything about access, material condition or concealed construction. An assessment should clarify what can be confirmed and what remains uncertain.
Ask for findings and limits
Discuss the extent of visible damage, proposed repair boundaries and any further investigation needed. Ask whether the assessor can prepare the full scope or whether another specialist should review part of it. Keep the findings distinct from assumptions.
Define the next step
Use the visit to narrow the scope and responsibilities. It should not be treated as an automatic guarantee about every part of the building.
