Independent RICS surveyors serving Dorset and the South West. We’re known for our 72-hour report turnaround and unique face-to-face post-survey consultations. Combining building, architectural, and surveying expertise, we ensure you buy with absolute confidence.
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. At Home Building Surveys, we believe you deserve more than just a checklist; you deserve total peace of mind. As independent RICS chartered surveyors, we provide the clarity you need to make informed decisions, whether you are buying, selling, or managing a property.
The Advantage of a Builder’s Eye and an Architect’s Vision
What sets us apart is the depth of our technical knowledge. Our lead surveyor, Malcolm, brings a unique perspective to every inspection. With a professional background spanning the building trade, architecture, and surveying, he identifies issues that others might overlook.
We don't just spot defects; we understand the "why" behind them and the practicalities of fixing them. This "triple-threat" of expertise means our reports are robust, realistic, and incredibly detailed.
Reports Delivered in 72 Hours—Not Weeks
In the fast-paced property market, delays can cost you your dream home. We aim to turn around all building survey reports within 72 hours.
Our reports are written in plain English and use a simple colour-coding system to highlight the urgency of different findings. No jargon, just clear facts.
A Personal Approach: Meet Your Surveyor
We don't believe in sending a report and disappearing. We offer a free post-survey opportunity to meet your surveyor face-to-face to discuss the findings.
"I always use Malcolm and Home Building Surveys because I trust them to tell me the good and the bad and what they genuinely think of the property. I can also just pick up the phone to them and ask general queries."
Cutting-Edge Aerial Drone Surveys
Some defects hide where the human eye can't reach. We use the latest drone technology to conduct aerial surveys, ensuring that roofs, chimneys, and high-level masonry are inspected with precision. This modern approach ensures no stone is left unturned—literally.
