The building surveying team has a wealth of experience and knowledge and are able to provide detailed professional advice in the following areas
Pre-Acquisition Advice
Investment in property is always a significant financial commitment. If you are looking to purchase or take occupation of property it is essential to carry out due diligence in the form of a Pre-Acquisition Survey. Our experienced Building Surveying team can advise you on the physical state of your potential investment as well as any pitfalls surrounding the ongoing maintenance of the building and restrictive regulatory issues.
Building Surveys
Today’s commercial property environment often demands the highest standards. To maximise the potential of your property the first step is to ensure it is compliant, comfortable and fit for purpose. From bringing a dingy retail unit to a marketable condition to converting a building’s use altogether, whatever you need to achieve from your property, we can help.
Preventive Maintenance Reports
Whilst your built asset may not fall into disrepair overnight, without due care and attention, repair and redecoration costs can swiftly escalate. We can provide detailed schedules of planned preventive maintenance to enable you not only to complete your short-term duties, but budget for years to come.
Defect Surveys
Many building occupiers are dogged by persistent problems with their property. This could be a recurring problem such as damp ingress or structural issues which may require more intrusive repairs. We can assist with diagnosis and remedy by providing a survey to suit your requirements, be that a detailed building survey or more concise report on specific defects.
Measured Surveys
Having a full understanding of the space available can unlock the full potential of your property. We can produce a full measured survey through accurate on-site measurements transposed into CAD layouts. Our experience also enables us to provide a full space planning package to help you maximise the use of your property.
Insurance Reinstatement Cost Assessments
It is important to keep your reinstatement value up to date with fluctuations in construction prices and property modifications. Our understanding of budgeting and project management enables us to estimate the current reinstatement value of your property. We can provide assessments to suit your insurance provider’s requirements and ensure that you are sufficiently covered without overpaying on your insurance premiums.
