Surveys & Audits
We inform and advise.
Our teams are skilled at providing logical and simple reports for our Clients’ existing and potential buildings.
- Acquisition Surveys - The purchaser needs to be sure of the viability of the building and its services, which represent a major element of the investment.
- Vendor Survey - For owners wishing to dispose of properties our survey generates a reliable report for inclusion in the vendor's letting pack.
- Dilapidations Survey - Working for either the landlord or tenant, we schedule the works required at lease end in compliance with the terms of the lease. This may simply be a visual inspection, or could include specialist testing of parts or entire systems, to identify possible hidden defects or faults.
- Asset Surveys - Services assets are an essential part of a building's value and are a significant ongoing cost liability. Our surveys produce comprehensive schedules of all services assets and include a commentary on age, longevity and predicted replacement cost to support investment and objective maintenance decisions.
- Condition Surveys - The condition of building services is a critical indicator of the level of maintenance required, or being implemented, and are a crucial predictor of future investment requirement.
- Life Cycle Surveys - Plant replacement is inevitable but replacement planning impacts critically on let-ability and investment. Our detailed reports analyse expenditure needs over the short, medium and longer term.
- Auditing - Current Health & Safety legislation and good practice guidance requires that services are not only well operated and maintained, but that the owner carries out independent auditing to verify it. We offer a full range of auditing services, from mechanical, electrical and lift services maintenance, to specialist health & safety, water hygiene and Disability Discrimination Act requirements.
