What should be included in a report after structural observations have been conducted?

A report following structural observations should include a list of any unresolved deficiencies because it highlights issues that need to be addressed to maintain the integrity and safety of the structure. Identifying and documenting these deficiencies is essential for ensuring that all parties involved are aware of existing problems, facilitating necessary repairs or further assessments. This information can be critical for decision-making, scheduling repairs, and maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

While details such as a list of personnel involved, project costs, and schedules for future inspections might be useful, they do not directly relate to the immediate concerns regarding the condition and safety of the structure itself. Unresolved deficiencies represent direct risks that must be documented and addressed, making this the most relevant information to include in the report.
