About BuildPerception - Folkestone
Expert Property Guidance Across Folkestone and Kent
Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. At BuildPerception, we ensure you make that investment with your eyes wide open. Led by Alan Edmunds, a local independent surveyor with over 25 years of experience identifying defects within property and construction, we provide the technical insight you need to negotiate with confidence.
We aren't just another corporate firm; we are a local partner based in Folkestone, serving the coastal towns and the wider Kent area, including Canterbury, Ashford, and Sevenoaks. Our approach combines traditional surveying expertise with modern technology to give you a comprehensive view of your potential new home.
Why Homeowners and Investors Trust Our Insight
We believe a survey report should be more than just a list of problems—it should be a clear, actionable roadmap. Our reports are produced in-house and delivered in a consumer-friendly format that avoids unnecessary jargon.
What truly sets us apart is our multi-disciplinary background. We are:
- Regulated by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors)
- Chartered Members of the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building)
- Members of the RPSA (Residential Property Surveyors Association)
- CAA Approved Drone Pilots
This unique combination of qualifications means we don't just see the surface; we understand the underlying construction and structural integrity of a building.
Advanced Technology for Thorough Inspections
We use the latest specialist surveying equipment to look where others can't. As CAA-approved drone pilots, we can undertake high-level inspections of roofs and chimneys that are often missed in standard surveys. Whether it is identifying rising damp, structural movement, or the controversial application of spray foam insulation, we have the tools and the 25 years of experience to find it.
