BuildPerception - Folkestone

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.

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.

Our expertise isn't limited to period properties. If you are buying a new-build, our Snagging Surveys ensure that developers fix unfinished work or faults before you complete your purchase. For those undertaking major renovations or flat conversions, our CIOB Chartered Builder status allows us to provide professional Project Management to oversee your works from start to finish.

"Our mission is to provide straightforward guidance and fast turnaround times, ensuring every client in Kent can move forward with total peace of mind."
