The invention provides a system (10) and method for remote assessment of the quality of construction of a structure, for example a multi-storey building (11). The system (10) is characterized Insofar as it includes thermal imaging means (13) for generating thermal images of the structure. The system further comprises the following components; at least one camera system (13) for generating images of the structure; distance measuring means (12) for measuring distances In relation to the structure; primary data processing means (14); storage means loaded with CAD software for execution by said primary data processing means (14); and data transmission means (17, 18) for transferring data from said camera system (13) and said distance measuring means (12) to said primary data processing means (14). The camera system (13) may have integrated, dual capabilities of generating video and thermal images. The method of the Invention includes a step of generating thermal images of a structure using thermal imaging means.
