Describes the structural condition of Easiform Construction determined by the inspection and sampling of dwellings built between 1926 and 1967. No instances of structural inadequacy were identified by BRE during this investigation, although cracking in the external walls of some houses has occurred due to corrosion of the embedded reinforcement. In general this cracking is of a minor nature in post-1946 construction, but is more substantial in a few of the oldest dwellings (60 yrs).
