We carried out building condition surveys for each property.
The surveys comprised detailed inspections external and internal elements, and the production of reports summarising the condition of each major element of the building.
Comprehensive photographs were included throughout each report, with camera poles and drones used to view areas that were not easily accessible.
Estimated costs, along with prioritisation of the works, were provided for each property, along with a summary of total works required across the property portfolio.

Properties ranged from modern builds to admin offices and converted residential terraces.
We utilised our nationwide team, allocating surveys to the surveyors closest to the properties. This expedited the process and made use of their local knowledge.
We developed a specific pro forma to ensure that survey reports were consistent. We also held regular catch ups to keep processes in line across our team, resulting in a uniform surveying approach and straightforward reports that were easy to interpret and action.
Our administration team were also fully briefed on the project and were always available for liaison with the property managers to efficiently arrange access.
Using a sizeable team on the project also allowed us to flex when the client required us to change plans at short notice and re-prioritise works.
