BUILDING INSPECTION REPORT (IEE)
Building Inspection Report (IEE).
Assess, document, and safeguard your building’s service life.
What is the IEE?
The Building Inspection Report (IEE) is a nationwide technical assessment that evaluates a building’s overall condition, accessibility, and energy performance.
It is mandatory for buildings that are 50 years old or more in most Spanish municipalities. Some smaller councils may not yet require it based on population, but the national trend is clear: more and more municipalities are making it compulsory.
The IEE provides a comprehensive technical overview of the property, identifies deficiencies, and ensures compliance with current regulations.

conditions.
