We are an independent, director-led consultancy providing expert direction for your property decisions. From technical due diligence to complex project management, we combine traditional values with modern practices to protect your investments across the UK.
Expert Direction for Your Property Decisions
We are Compass Building Consultancy, an independent, RICS-regulated firm based in York. We thrive on the property market's need for honest, quality, director-led advice. Whether you are an investor, a business owner, or a homeowner, we provide the technical insight you need to move forward with confidence.
Led by Experience, Driven by Standards
Our business was founded in 2017 by Daniel Leaf, a Chartered Building Surveyor with over 15 years of industry experience. Alongside Aidan Sutcliffe, who leads our Project Management arm, we ensure that every instruction—no matter the size—benefits from senior-level oversight.
We don't just look at the bricks and mortar; we take the time to understand your commercial objectives. This allows us to provide "Due Diligence" that goes beyond a simple physical inspection, helping you future-proof your investments in an ever-changing market.
From Historic Conservation to Modern Industrial
Our expertise is broad, but our approach is always bespoke. We have successfully delivered projects across a diverse range of sectors:
- Industrial & Retail: From small terraced units to high-spec distribution centres.
- Education & Healthcare: Helping providers unlock efficiency within their existing estates.
- Conservation: Managing sensitive works on some of the most historically significant buildings in the North of England.
- Residential: Providing homeowners with the peace of mind that their biggest investment is a sound one.
