Why Clients Trust the Jaram Team
We don't just spot problems; we diagnose the root cause. Our approach combines traditional surveying expertise with modern diagnostic tools, ensuring your property decisions are backed by data, not guesswork.
We understand that property issues can be stressful. That is why we focus on clear communication, helping you understand the risks to your investment and the health of your occupants without the corporate jargon.
Specialists in Damp, Timber, and Structural Defects
Many firms offer general surveys, but we go deeper. We are specialists in identifying moisture-related issues, from rising damp to interstitial condensation. Using advanced techniques like gravimetric analysis, salt testing, and thermal imaging, we provide independent advice that protects your building’s integrity.
Our expertise extends to complex structural issues, including:
- Subsidence & Structural Monitoring: Tracking movement to find permanent solutions.
- Sulphate Attack & Wall Tie Failure: Specialist testing for specific regional construction risks.
- Condensation Risk Analysis: Using BuildDesk software to model thermal performance and prevent mould.
- Timber Surveys: Expert identification of dry rot, wet rot, and wood-boring insects.
From Historic Restorations to Modern Education
We take immense pride in our project work. A standout highlight for us was assisting Wykeland Properties with the restoration of Flemingate House in Beverley, a beautiful Grade II listed building. We’ve also led design and project management for Wyke Sixth Form College, proving our ability to handle large-scale, high-stakes environments with precision.
Beyond the Survey: Project Management & Budgeting
We know that "mission creep" and "value engineering" are the enemies of a successful build. That’s why we offer robust budget costing and contract administration. We monitor costs throughout your project to prevent nasty surprises, ensuring your vision is delivered on time and on budget.
