PHD Building Advisory Limited

We are a Bristol-based property and construction consultancy that believes the best projects are built on strong relationships. Founded on the principle that property advice should be as much about people as it is about buildings, we provide a seamless blend of technical building surveying and strategic asset management.

Whether you are a private investor, a public sector body, or a heritage site manager, we bring over 30 years of collective experience in building surveying and 40 years in commercial property strategy to your project. We don't just identify defects; we partner with you to find sustainable, long-term solutions.

Preserving the Past with Heritage Expertise

We have a deep-seated passion for historic architecture and the complexities that come with it. Our team is trusted by some of the South West’s most iconic institutions to manage sensitive restorations and fire safety upgrades.

• Theatre Royal Bath: We delivered extensive fire safety upgrades to this precious Grade II* listed building, ensuring works were completed on time and within budget while the theatre remained fully operational.
• Lansdown Place, Clifton: We managed a complex restoration of this Grade II* landmark, maintaining the highest standards of workmanship and communication.
• Kingsley Hall: We are currently steering this complex re-development through the National Lottery Heritage Fund process to support young homeless people in Bristol.

Sustainable Solutions at Our Core

Sustainability isn't a buzzword for us; it is the foundation of our mission. We actively promote energy certifications like BREEAM, LEED, and SKA ratings. Our recent impact includes:

1. Green Technology in Education: Introducing Salix-funded solar panels and air source heat pumps to schools across the South West.
2. The Good Growth Fund: Delivering accessibility and sustainability improvements for a major charity site in Cornwall.
3. Bespoke Advisory: Helping clients at Krowji develop long-term goals for environmental viability and accessibility.
