With 30 years of experience and a track record of managing £125M acquisitions, we provide practical, commercially balanced surveying. Based between Bristol and Bath, we help you maximise building assets and minimise expenditure through technical expertise and a personal touch.
We believe that property advice should be more than just a standard report. At Due Diligence Building Surveyors, we pride ourselves on providing practical, commercially balanced guidance that actually helps you make decisions. Whether you are acquiring, maintaining, or disposing of a portfolio, our job is to determine exactly what you need to achieve and assist you in the most cost-effective way possible.
Thirty Years of Technical Expertise
Our director, Chris Rainbow, established the firm in 2012 to bring a more personal, focused approach to the industry. With a career spanning three decades across Local Authorities, Housing Associations, and Private Commercial Practice, Chris has built a reputation for strategic thinking. We aren't just surveyors; we are partners in your property strategy.
"Our aim is to maximise the benefit of any building assets and minimise unnecessary expenditure through technical expertise and broad-ranging experience."
From Bristol Landmarks to £125M London Acquisitions
We are comfortable operating at the highest levels of the commercial market. We have acted on high-profile acquisitions, including a £125 million mixed-use site in London featuring a theatre, shopping centre, and 250 residential flats. Closer to home, we have a long-standing relationship with We The Curious (formerly @Bristol), managing the Planned Preventative Maintenance for the entire Millennium Square portfolio, including the science centre and the historic Leadworks.

Protecting Your Interests in Dilapidations
Dilapidations can be a minefield for both landlords and tenants. We act for both sides, ensuring that claims are fair and legally robust.
- For Tenants: We help you defend schedules, advise on exit strategies, and prepare assessments to predict potential liabilities, often saving our clients tens of thousands of pounds.
- For Landlords: We prepare Interim, Terminal, and Final Schedules of Dilapidations, including Quantified Demands, to ensure your asset is protected.
Rapid, Reliable Due Diligence
We know that in the world of commercial property, timing is everything. When negotiations are advanced, you can't afford to wait weeks for a report. We typically provide a verbal précis on the day of inspection, an Executive Summary within 48-72 hours, and the full, detailed report within seven working days.
Whether it is a Building Condition Survey to assess the true value of an investment or a Schedule of Condition to protect a small business owner, we apply the same level of commercial awareness and technical rigour to every instruction.
