Since 2000, Keynorth has provided RICS-regulated building consultancy with a commercial edge. Led by Mark Totten, we specialise in plain-English surveys, expert dilapidations negotiations, and proactive project management for homeowners and investors alike.
Thinking Like Owners, Not Just Technicians
At Keynorth, we believe building consultancy should be proactive and commercially focused. Established in 2000, we are an independent, owner-managed firm of Chartered Building Surveyors and project managers. Because we run our own business, we understand the reality of the bottom line. We don't just provide technical data; we help you balance cost, time, and quality to manage risk effectively.
Surveys That Speak Your Language
Whether you are a homeowner, a commercial investor, or a tenant, you need clarity, not jargon. Our RICS-qualified surveyors provide bespoke condition reports written in plain English. We focus on being brief, concise, and highly visual, with every report cross-referenced to a detailed schedule of photographs.
- Speed of Delivery: We provide a verbal report immediately after the inspection.
- Executive Summaries: A written summary is typically delivered within 48 hours.
- Specialist Coordination: We can lead a 'one-stop' team including M&E, structural, and environmental specialists.
Expert Dilapidations & Negotiation
Technical knowledge is only half the battle in dilapidations. At Keynorth, we pride ourselves on our skill as negotiators. We review leases thoroughly to clarify liabilities and have a proven track record of successful financial settlements for both landlords and tenants. If you prefer to carry out the works, we can specify, tender, and manage the entire contract for you.
From Conservation to Modern Refurbishment
Our expertise spans the full lifecycle of a property. We have a deep interest in Building Conservation, ensuring heritage assets are protected while remaining functional. For modern projects, our design and contract administration services focus on your specific business needs—whether that’s a complex fit-out, a structural extension, or development monitoring for a new build.

Proactive Project Management
Planning is paramount to project success. We strongly encourage our clients to focus on the 'front end' of a project, where risks are identified and managed properly. This ensures cost certainty and high-quality delivery for repairs, alterations, and refurbishments. We prefer to engage with contractors and suppliers who share our enthusiasm for trust and team working.
