Building surveying
Building surveying is core to a wide range of services for the built environment. Reducing your exposure to risk and adding value throughout the property life is an essential part of our service offer.
Our clients use us to help them with:
1. Taking stock - our experience and expertise in understanding building form and condition can provide the broad based overview needed to develop long term property strategies.
2. Purchasing - the acquisition of a building or property portfolio represents a major cost. A detailed building survey will give an overview of the condition of the property to help make legal and commercial assessments.
3. Leasing / Letting - we have the skills and expertise to assess the repairing obligations of a lease in relation to the condition of the building and during the currency of the term and at termination to assess dilapidations liabilities.
4. Occupying - ever changing legislation makes property owners/occupiers and employers responsible for deficiencies within a property and/or workplace. These can be addressed by commissioning premises audits.
5. Improving - alteration and refurbishment works are inevitable within a property’s life cycle, work can be outsourced to our building surveyors – from feasibility studies, to preparing designs, drawings and tender documents and undertaking contract administration services.
6. Maintenance - planned maintenance
programmes and life cycle analysis will highlight deficiencies in the building fabric, advise on maintenance priorities and identify costs of required works.
7. Protecting - insurance against loss is vital to any business. Insurance reinstatement assessments provide a valuation which should be updated at least every three years. Procurement and management of insurance reinstatement works can also be undertaken.
8. Recording - it is necessary to formally record the condition of a building in a Schedule of Condition at any given time in its life cycle.
9. Vacating - in a move the commissioning of space planning and move management services can greatly assist in the smooth transition from one property to another.
