Building Surveys

Surveys can offer a detailed investigation of the construction and condition of a building. They generally evaluate the building’s structure, fabric, finishes, outbuildings and grounds, and will include an assessment of visible defects and offer appropriate guidance on repair.

Our chartered surveyors can provide a building maintenance forecast, so clients can accurately weigh up the potential liabilities associated with a property’s purchase. When it comes to commercial properties, the focus is on their suitability for purpose, security, state of repair and fire safety. This can be incorporated into a wider pre-acquisition report or feasibility study.

We always work to ensure our surveys are unbiased and professional in their appraisal of a building’s visible defects and any guidance they may give on maintenance and remedial measures. The results can also be used as part of a building consultation, House Buyer’s Report or building condition survey.

Use a building surveyor to maintain high standards

How do you ensure that your building work is carried out to a decent standard? The solution is to employ fully-qualified building surveyors to act on your behalf. Then, you can be confident in the accuracy of any drawings that represent the existing building structure and the specifications for any subsequent works.

Accurate and timely advice is essential where there is concern about a building’s condition. Our qualified surveyors can help establish whether the cracks are the result of settlement or seasonal movement, or if they are indicative of a more serious problem.
