I did a some building inspection work during my summer breaks in university, and for anyone planning on attending I'd advise you to bring the following: (if possible)

  • binoculars - Sometimes shadows and grime can look like damage so it always helps to get a closer look, especially if the area is high up or blocked by a fence.
  • camera - A picture is worth a thousand words and depending on the quality of the lens it can take the place of the binoculars.
  • ruler/tape measure - Anything to give some scale to your descriptions and/or photos. Saying "a big crack" isn't as persuasive as "a 3 inch wide crack".
  • a clipboard or something solid to write on - Makes filling out paper forms that much easier.

and of course, weather appropriate clothing.

Happy hunting everyone!
