Party wall is a wall on shared/common boundary of two adjacent lots involved. Party
wall survey can be defined as a survey that involved shop and housing lots to
determine the actual position of the party wall.

b) State four categories and explain how to measure party wall straightness of a building.
a. Straight wall and perpendicular
 Measurement to the centre of the wall at front and back of the building
should be done. Do double checking.
  Intersection point of party wall boundary line and control frame line
should be mark. Observed the intersection point and do double checking
Position of intersection point is determined by calculation.
 Running offset to details such as pillar and wall should be done on control
frame line.
 Offset to other details can be taken if needed
 Details on straight wall need not to be measured but do a remark for its
verification on diagram page.
b. Straight wall but not perpendicular
c. Not straight & irregular thickness of the wall

c) Describe the procedures on measuring party wall in a building that is straight but
not perpendicular.
 Methods in (1) above can be used but the salient point needs to be
determine by calculation (Rajah C).
