215 High Street: elevation-by-elevation defect survey and remediation
A long-running remediation project where every elevation was surveyed and recorded independently, producing one of the most heavily documented jobs in the practice archive.
What the project needed.
A building with defects across multiple elevations and the roof, where the extent had never been established in a single consistent record. Remediation could not be priced or specified until it was.
Work carried out
- South, west and north elevation defect surveys, recorded separately
- Roof defect survey
- Remedial design by elevation
- Construction detailing for the remedial works
- Location and block plan
- Elevation drawings
What 215 high street actually involves.
The survey was structured by elevation rather than by defect type, which matters on a building where different faces have weathered differently. Each elevation got its own defect drawing, so the record shows not just what is wrong but where, and the pattern of deterioration across the building becomes visible.
Remedial drawings then followed the same structure. That keeps the specification traceable: a contractor pricing the south elevation reads the south defect drawing and the south remedial drawing, without filtering a combined document.
The photographic record runs to 834 images. On a remediation job that archive is as much a part of the deliverable as the drawings, because it establishes condition at a point in time and supports the specification if any of it is later questioned.
