| Abstract: | The question of appraisals is at once universal, transnational and multidisciplinary but is not treated in the same way everywhere, depending essentially on the cultural and legal background of the procedure practised in each country. Furthermore, the place of the surveyor between a simple advisor, witness and judge renders the appraisals process complex. Though it has not yet been studied carefully and comprehensively, drawing upon the advances made on the French territory as the basis for this article, we wish to extend our reflections to include comparisons with other organisational systems of appraisals in effect in Europe, while at the same time establishing the structure of the project. We intend to develop a new line of research in construction history, at the intersection of three essentially complementary fields: people, knowledge and action. |
