Building Surveys
We do the detail so you don’t have to. Ensuring you understand the key risks and costs
When you transact, develop, occupy or fund a property we work closely with you to ensure that you have a detailed understanding of the property, the risks and perhaps most importantly the costs, options and solutions which are available.
We provide the following services:
- Pre-Acquisition Surveys for Occupiers and Investors
- Pre Lease Surveys and Assessments for Tenants
- Portfolio Surveys
- Vendor's Surveys with Assignable Reports
- Specialist Facade Reports
- Budget Costs
- Insurance Reinstatement Costs
We work hard to ensure that you have a distinct commercial advantage over the rest of the market. We often go further to consider angles for developing the asset or adding value to provide you with all the tools you need to complete the transaction.
From the outset our insight, analysis and market knowledge can add value, reduce cost and help minimise any risks
