  • Wow, that's quite lax! I certainly wouldn't in general be advising that knuckle-sized (15+mm) cracks in a masonry house are "fine"

    Burland et al classifications are widely accepted as the go-to damage categories. 15mm+ is severe...

    Every situation is different though and individual inspection is key to determine the cause rather than just the damage.
