Only where the appointment and safe access permit it. Uninspected areas and assumptions should be stated clearly, with further investigation recommended where justified.
That depends on the delegated project role. Advice, contract administration and authority to commit cost should be distinguished.
Yes. State the normal territory, travel and expenses, lone-working arrangements, access requirements and how substantially different locations are allocated.
The employer should define the employee's authorised level, review requirements and when a senior or specialist surveyor must approve the report before issue.
No. The role should identify limitations, recommend opening-up or specialist investigation where required and avoid conclusions unsupported by the inspection evidence.
The contract can address ownership and custody while requiring secure handling of client, occupier and property information and retention in the authorised file.
Only within delegated project and spending authority. Advice or a defect finding does not itself authorise a contractor commitment or design change.
The surveyor should decline or stop an unsafe inspection, record the limitation and arrange suitable access rather than improvise at height or in a restricted area.
