Pre-Works Schedule of Condition Contact
Information on what to send when a condition record is needed before building works, neighbouring works, or project activity begins.
Why the works information is useful
A pre-works schedule is strongest when it is tailored to the areas most likely to be affected. Basic drawings, scope notes, or a short explanation of the works help identify where the record needs to be focused.
That is particularly useful where access is limited, neighbours may be affected, or certain elements of the building carry a higher risk of later disagreement.

What to send
Useful information for a pre-works condition record includes:
- A short description of the works and the address of the property involved.
- Any drawings, sketches, or programme notes already prepared.
- Access information and any time constraints before works commence.
- Any particular concerns about neighbouring property, cracking, roof areas, or vulnerable finishes.
What happens next
- The proposed works and property context are reviewed to identify the likely scope of the schedule.
- Advice is given on inspection timing, level of detail, and whether any special recording approach is likely to be helpful.
- The next step moves to arranging the inspection and issuing the record in a form suited to the project.
Useful note
A full technical design pack is not always required at the start. A short explanation and the best available drawings are often sufficient to frame the initial discussion.
