The survey of buildings of historical and cultural heritage by non-destructive methods includes the use of various technologies, such as ultrasonic flaw detection, radiographic control, thermal imaging examination, georadar sounding and others. These methods allow us to obtain information about the condition of structures without violating their integrity, which is especially important for objects of historical and cultural heritage. The presented study presents the main problems that arise when conducting a survey of buildings by non-destructive methods, negative factors affecting the timing and quality of work. The consequences are a slowdown in the pace of inspection and commissioning of the building, damage to networks, communications, third-party building structures, additional material costs. Possible ways of solving problems arising during the inspection of buildings by non-destructive methods are also presented.
