Hi Dave,

I will send you a typical barn survey report to give you some ideas however surveys could be categorised in order of preference as follows :-

1) Drive by - take photos from all available angles.

2) 1 hour survey - drive by plus measure key dimensions as follows :-

length (of/of)
breadth (of/of)
height (us sill/towp) + towp / peak
No of bays
length of each bay ref f/f
make general notes including type of frame construction.
take as many digi pics (1mb) as possible.

3 Detail survey

as per 1 & 2 plus measure everything possible including
typical timber sizes
typical joint types
typical peg sizes

Regards

Ken Hume

Looking back to see the way ahead !
