What is Building Settlement Monitoring?
87323
Foundations for buildings are generally designed based on the ground conditions which are obtained from a sub soil investigation (soil mechanics) The criteria obtained from a soil investigation will detirmine the type of foundations to be used for a particular building. In many cases it is known that once constructed a building will "settle" on it's foundations or rather the foundations settle with the loads now imposed by the structure.\nThis may only be a matter inches but to check that the settlement is in accordance with the designed assumtions this can be checked at regular intervals which is called monitoring.

Um, when a structure, like a house, begins to settle slightly into its foundation.

They will usually take the meter readings if the property in question is occupied on the day of its sale/exchange. The services may be turned off if the property has been unoccupied for a period of time.

You're probably looking for manufacturing related software which is able to report on any trouble or disaster occuring in the shopfloor or main plant. \n\nCheck out http://www.wareprise.com/content/manufacturing-software.html

You might be able to find out some info on the computer, it's really going to depend on where you are and what exactly you want to find out. If you're looking for information about who owns the property, I'd suggest looking up your local tax assessor to see if they have a database. If they don't, you may be able to find out who they have listed as the owner by calling them. Yes, a title company search can tell you a lot about the property, but it may not be the information that you're looking for. Normally a title report (sometimes called a "commitment") will tell you about any open liens (mortgages, tax liens, unpaid contractors, etc.), easements, conditions and restrictions (for example, you can't have a fence more than 6' high in this neighborhood, that sort of thing). However, if you're looking for more of a history of the building (did any famous people live here, any exciting events, etc.), you'd probably want to check with the neighbors and/or the historical society. Hopefully this helps, Good luck!

That would depend on what size building it was and if there was a building code then. It also depends on whether or not the builder followed the building codes- they weren't always enforced.

This is a question of allocation of risk and responsibility.  It also involves the question of whether the government should be put in the position of being an insurer for the building industry.\n\nBuilding inspectors are not on site continously.  They show up at specified points in the process.  A shoddy contractor can hide defective work under well done work and pass the inspection.  Also, buildinng inspectors have to assume that the materials meet specifications.  So, if the specs call for 3/8" rebar and the contracter used 1/4" rebar the inspector might not catch it.\n\nIf you make the city liable for not catching the contractor's mistakes, the city will be forced to have to have inspectors on site all the time.  This would be very, very expensive and would slow down the work horrendeously.\nThe city would have to increase the cost of a permit to cover not only the extra cost of having to have a trained inspector at every buildinng site all  thetime (I doubt there are that many trained inspectors) but also to cover the possibility that some jury, sometime with 20/20 hindsight and no other solvent defendant is going to give someone a judgment against the city for either (a) the cost of tearing down and rebuilding a "defective" buildion or (b) someone's expected lifetime earnings lost when the building fell on him/her, or (c) both.  I guarantee you that the building owner and contractor are bankrupt or have settled by the time the case gets into court leaving the City as the only remaining defendant.\n\nOff the top of my head, I would guess building permits would be 25% - 50% of the total project cost if the City has to carry the liability and extra manpower.  I may be off by 10% either way, but you would be looking at a ten to hundred fold increase in the cost of a permit. and the cost of the completed building.\n\nTaxpayers, being the persons who vote in the elected officials, don't like being the ones holding hte bag.  As a result every juridiction I know of shields the building inspector and his/her employer, the taxpayer, from liability.

I believe they are referred to as mixed use buildings and are classified as commercial structures. Your local agent would have access to these type of properties if they are norm in your area.

Well I have no idea if such an insitution exists in Mumbai, but according 2 me building maintainance is an extention of home maintainance. U live in a flat and as an inmate U keep ur house clean and neat and tidy, U or ur servant sweeps/ washes the floors, U paint the house after the paint peels off, U rectify the electrical or plumbing jobs in ur house whenever there are  problems, U clean the tubelights/ ceiling fans when they are dirty. So friend these are the things U need to do for building maint.  Inaddition U need to see that Electricity, water and sewage, Property and Insuance bills are paid in time. In a building there are many flats, so call a meeting once a month and find out if any of the fellow Members are having any problems.Sort out the problems amicably.Your Building is a place where all have to live in comfort and happiness and all this work of building maintain-ance have to be carried out by all members of the building jointly and this can be done by electing a Managing Committee Members every year so every year a new Team comes and takes up the responsibility of the building. If U have difficulty U may take the advise of some senior Residents in ur neighbourhood.

You are not specific on your question.  Are you talking about blue prints or just floor plans?  Try Architectural Digest site maybe.

I would suggest checking the amounts that comparable homes that recently sold for, in the same neighborhood, or in the same general area you are interested in. Usually newspapers print real estate transactions once a week or so. Or you can check the county webpage, and see if they have a listing for completed real estate transactions.\n\nI hope this helps.
