Byggnadsenkät

Byggnadsenkät, which translates to "building survey" or "building inquiry" in English, is a common term in Swedish real estate and construction contexts. It generally refers to a survey or questionnaire distributed to owners or occupants of a building. The purpose of such a survey can vary significantly depending on who is conducting it and for what reason.

Often, a byggnadsenkät is part of a larger building inspection or due diligence process. For example, when a property is being sold, the seller or their agent might conduct a byggnadsenkät to gather information about the building's condition, history, and any known issues from the current owner. This information can then be included in the sales documentation to provide potential buyers with a comprehensive overview.

Alternatively, a byggnadsenkät can be used by property management companies or housing associations (bostadsrättsföreningar) to collect feedback from residents. This might concern satisfaction with common areas, maintenance requests, or suggestions for improvements. Municipalities or architectural firms might also employ byggnadsenkäter to understand the usage patterns, energy consumption, or general conditions of various buildings within a district, often for urban planning or research purposes. The format typically involves a series of questions, either in paper or digital form, designed to elicit specific and structured information.
