How we report
Reports written to be used, not filed.
Findings are ordered by priority and consequence, with photographic evidence, likely cause and a recommended course of action. Where costs are indicated they are described as budget guidance for planning, not a tender figure.
- Priority-ranked findings with clear next steps
- Photographic evidence and located observations
- Plain-English explanation of cause and risk
- Recommendations that convert into scopes of work
Common questions
What clients usually ask before instructing us.
What does a building condition survey cover?
A visual inspection of the building fabric, roof coverings, external envelope, internal finishes and, where relevant, services installations — recording defects, likely cause, priority and the repair or maintenance response required. Findings are ranked so they can be planned and budgeted.
How do education and healthcare estate surveys differ?
Both are usually portfolio-wide and feed maintenance planning and funding decisions, so consistency of data matters as much as the inspection itself. Access is the practical difference: school work is phased around term time, while healthcare surveys are carried out around live clinical activity.
Can you diagnose a defect rather than survey the whole building?
Yes. Defect diagnosis and damp investigations are instructed on their own where a specific failure needs explaining — the report sets out the evidence, the cause and a specified remedial approach.
Do you manage the works you recommend?
Where clients want it, yes. We define the scope, support procurement and manage refurbishment, fit-out and repair works through to completion — including in occupied and operational buildings.
Which areas do you cover?
Instructions are taken across the UK. Recent estate surveying and project work has been concentrated in the Midlands, the North of England and the North East, with national portfolio experience as well.
How do I get a fee proposal?
Send the property details and the decision you are facing and we will confirm the right form of survey or project support, what it covers and the fee before any commitment.
