Building Survey Cards I

Description

Unique IDAS-0932Start dateBetween 1st January 1939 and 31st December 1963Start date qualifiercircaFormatCardDescriptionThese building survey cards contain detailed information about many (but not all) of the buildings within Council's boundaries.

Each card records most of the following information: district or block number; address; building name; type of business or activity; number of floors; number of personnel; construction type; roof materials; height; floor area; dimensions and material of stairs; fire escapes; number and type of lifts; light areas; number and type of sprinklers; fire doors; interconnected buildings; adjoining lanes; meters; ventilation; floor loading; type of motors used; existence of air raid shelters (ARS); number and location of toilets; and windows.

Most of the cards have a hand-drawn sketch of the floor plans of each building attached. The cards are usually signed and dated by the Council officer carrying out the survey.

Some of the cards have references to the building applications lodged for the building.

Most of the cards are for surveys completed in 1944 and 1949. The latest cards are for an egress survey carried out in 1963. The cards are usually annotated to show when the building was demolished but do not appear to have been amended or updated with other information.
