Beyond standard surveys, we provide high-level consultancy for landlords and tenants. We specialise in Schedules of Dilapidations and Schedules of Condition, ensuring that repairing obligations are fair and legally sound.

Our facilities management (FM) consultancy helps organisations improve procurement and operational strategy, drawing on Graham’s experience as a Certified Member of the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management. We support service improvement, training, and strategic operations for both public and private bodies.

Managing Your Property Lifecycle

We don't just identify defects; we help you fix them. Our team manages repair, refurbishment, and reinstatement projects from the initial diagnosis through to the end of the defects liability period.

We also provide accurate Building Reinstatement Valuations (BRV) to ensure your insurance coverage is precise, protecting you from the risks of under-insurance. From specific defect reports to expert witness testimony, we provide the robust evidence you need for any property matter.
